| Sumario: | This paper presents the results of the analysis of the taphonomic processes that acted on the archaeofaunal materials from the site Martínez 3, located in the depressed sector of Ambato Valley, Catamarca, Argentina. This is an outdoor mound site that has a prolonged occupation in time ranging from Formative to Aguada times. Thus, the aim of this research was to inquire about the taphonomic processes and agents that acted over the bone remains from a diachronic perspective, comparing both occupations. The studies carried out enable to recognize that, even though the site has long occupation in time, similar taphonomic and processes (natural and cultural) acted over time and did not vary greatly in intensity. Moreover, among them, the main generator and transformer agent of these assemblages were the people. |
