| Sumario: | This paper presents a preliminary analysis of the archaeofaunal remains exhibiting evidences of human activity recovered at Site 2, El Guanaco archaeological locality, San Cayetano, Buenos Aires province. Two traits related to cooking were analyzed, butchering marks and thermal alterations. Large species, such as Lama guanicoe, Ozotoceros bezoarticus and Rhea americana exhibit cutmarks and pounding which are interpreted as resulting from primary processing. Also, armadillo scutes, eggshell fragments of Rheidae and bone remains of Chaetophractus villosus showing various degrees of combustion have been recovered. These last remains have been interpreted as resulting from the cooking of preys. |
