| Sumario: | In recent decades, Argentine zooarchaeology has shown an accelerated growth that can be seen not only in the number of professionals dedicated to this discipline, but also in the diversity of topics addressed. The II National Congress of Argentine Zooarchaeology (IICNZA), held in Olavarría (province of Buenos Aires) between May 9 and 13, 2011, organized by the Faculty of Social Sciences (UNCPBA), was an appropriate event to publicize the new results related to different zooarchaeological issues specific to the different regions of our country and Latin America. In addition, this meeting allowed to discuss the implementation of old and new methodologies and to generate a space of interdisciplinary interaction around the investigation of faunistic materials. Six symposia, a general session and a poster table were held at IICNZA. In the latter, 25 papers were presented, which covered a great diversity of topics in different regions of Argentina and other Latin American countries.This Dossier includes the results of a selection of papers presented at the IICNZA Poster Table. There are seven contributions, which represent a variety of zoo-archaeological and taphonomic studies from different areas of our country, as well as from Mexico and Peru. Given these characteristics, the Magazine of the Museum of Anthropology of Cordoba (RMA) was presented as an ideal place for the publication of these articles, since it has been indexed in different cataloguing systems and is part of Latindex, the Directory of Open Access Journals and the Anthropological Index Online, with which the diffusion of the works has greater reach and their access is free, aspects that we consider of crucial importance for the current development of the discipline. In this sense, this volume would not have been possible without the support and permanent collaboration of Dr. Andrés Izeta, director of the magazine, who generously accepted our request to present the works in the RMA. |
