Valle Hermoso 4 site is located in the last area, in a lagoon which is empty at present but was active at least 60 years ago. This paper presents the results obtained from the zooarchaeological analysis of three surveys. The evidence recovered indicates the predominant exploitation of freshwater resources (fish, coypu and anatids) and secondary of terrestrial resources (Dasypodidae and guanaco). From taphonomic analysis and contextual features, the anthropic origin of the deposits was determined; furthermore, it was recognized the modifications of bones of two assemblages due to water action. The evidence of this site stresses the importance of freshwater fauna over the guanaco, resource commonly exploited by hunter-gatherers of neighboring Lake Musters. The abundance of fish (perch and Patagonian silverside in lesser frequency) with the artifactual evidence of the area (weights stones or sinkers), allows discussing fishing as an intensive activity during the final late Holocene. Recientemente se iniciaron investigaciones arqueológicas en el lago Colhué Huapi que resultaron en la detección de una alta densidad de sitios en los sectores noreste y sudoeste. El sitio Valle Hermoso 4 se halla en este último sector, sobre una laguna que en la actualidad se encuentra seca pero que al menos 60 años atrás se hallaba activa. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos a partir del análisis zooarqueológico de tres sondeos. La evidencia recuperada señala la explotación predominante de recursos dulceacuícolas (peces, coipos y anátidos) y secundariamente de recursos terrestres (dasipódidos y guanaco). A partir del análisis tafonómico y de rasgos contextuales, se determinó el origen antrópico de los depósitos y se reconoció, en dos sondeos, la alteración de los huesos por la acción del agua. La evidencia aportada por este sitio pone en relevancia a la fauna dulceacuícola sobre el guanaco, recurso comúnmente explotado por cazadores-recolectores del vecino lago Musters. La abundancia de peces (percas y en menor medida pejerrey patagónico) junto con la evidencia artefactual del área (pesos líticos) permiten discutir a la pesca como una actividad intensiva para el Holoceno tardío final.
