Manufacture and use of ornaments made on carnivore teeth from archaeological sites of Low Paraná Wetland
This paper analyses Carnivore dental items, discussing their use as ornaments by human societies that inhabited the southern sector of Low Paraná wetland during the Late Holocene. Taxonomic identification of dental items was made trough morphometric analysis. It is very interesting to show the prese...

Taxonomic identification of dental items was made trough morphometric analysis. It is very interesting to show the presence of taxa not available in the area as Canis familiaris and Nasua nasua.

En este trabajo se analizan una serie de piezas dentarias de carnívoros discutiendo su utilización como objetos ornamentales por las poblaciones humanas que ocuparon el sector meridional del humedal del Paraná inferior durante el Holoceno tardío. La identificación taxonómica de los distintos elementos dentarios se efectuó mediante estudios morfométricos, siendo de particular interés señalar el reconocimiento de especies que son poco frecuentes o que hasta ahora no estaban presentes en el registro arqueológico regional como Canis familiaris y Nasua nasua. A través del análisis microscópico, logramos identificar distintos rastros o huellas de transformación y utilización de los dientes, incluso en aquellos ejemplares que a ojo desnudo no presentaban modificaciones antrópicas. En función de los resultados obtenidos se discute la obtención y uso de estos objetos como objetos ornamentales y se realizan distintas consideraciones en cuanto a su potencial valor simbólico, señalando ciertas limitaciones interpretativas que existen sobre este tópico, así como las vías analíticas y conceptos desarrollados por otros autores para abordar problemáticas similares a las aquí estudiadas.
