| Sumario: | This paper compiles information from 97 zooarchaeological contexts from 75 archaeological sites placed in different regions of Tierra del Fuego archipelago, with chronologies ranging from the Early Holocene to the first contact with Western society. By means of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analysis and abundance indexes based on NISP values, the abundance of different taxa through space is assessed. This generates average values of consumption of wildlife in a region or at a particular time in the past. Whereas most zooarchaeology analyses are site-specific, this paper uses a supra-regional scale to understand the zooarchaeological structure in its natural and cultural context. |
