Este trabajo presenta los resultados del análisis de la arqueofauna del sitio inca Tambo de Punta de Balasto, localizado al sur del valle de Yocavil o Santa María (Catamarca, Argentina). Tambo de Punta de Balasto es un centro imperial; entre sus funciones debió estar la administración político-económica del territorio y el albergue de autoridades y trabajadores al servicio del Estado. El artículo hace foco en la fauna de un basural en las inmediaciones del Grupo Arquitectónico 7, una estructura del tipo kancha. Si bien se conocen otros materiales faunísticos del Período Inca del Noroeste argentino, la mayoría proviene de sitios del Período Desarrollos Regionales que fueron afectados al Tawantinsuyu, mientras que el Tambo de Punta de Balasto fue construido y utilizado exclusivamente para fines de la administración imperial.
