Analysis of the ichthyoarchaeological assemblages recovered in sites of the argentinian Humid Chaco

| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to present and discuss the variability exhibited for the ichthyoarchaeological assemblages recovered in five archaeological sites (“El Cachapé Potrero V”, “El Cachapé Potrero IV A”, “El Cachapé Potrero IV B”, “Sotelo I” and “Puesto Fantin”), all located next to different important streams in the Humid Chaco region of Argentina (Chaco province). Chronologically, the sites are dated between 1700-900 14C BP. For the analysis of the ichthyoarchaeological assemblages, taxonomic, anatomical identification, and quantification was performed. Different taphonomic aspects that could have influenced their origin and preservation were also evaluated. The importance of these resources within the overall framework of human subsistence for each site was assessed in particular, and in general for the region. From the sets analyzed, it is inferred that fish constituted, in all cases, as a complementary resource in the diet, although there is evidence of greater importance for the sites “El Cachapé Potrero IV A”, “El Cachapé Potrero IV B” and “Puesto Fantin”. |
