| Sumario: | Microscopic analysis of the morphology of animal fibers has been used in conjunction with other lines of evidence, providing useful taxonomic information to reconstruct scenarios that account for the strategies implemented by hunter-gatherers and producers, in view of the use of animal resources. Here, the advance made in the study of cortical cells is offered as a complement to results obtained from qualitative and quantitative variables such as thickness, medulla, fiber type and color. The information gained is used to evaluate the relevance in the search of interspecific indicators. The analysis was performed on samples corresponding to level 4 from Cueva Salamanca 1 (7500 ± 60 BP Beta 178223) (Pintar 2004) and level 4 from Quebrada Seca 3 (Cal. 3684 to 4226 1s) Aschero et al. 1993- 94), both in the southern Puna (Antofagasta de la Sierra, Argentina) and of which taxonomic designations have already been obtained by morphological analysis. |
