However, for the West area, the available data on diet is still limited. is paper presents the results of faunal analysis on an assemblage from the site of Laguna de los Pampas (Lincoln County, Buenos Aires).e aim is to evaluate the main subsistence trends. Furthermore, these results were then compared against subsistence models generated for adjacent areas. ere are 2,583 specimens dating to the Middle Holocene in the sample from Laguna de los Pampas. is analysis indicates the consumption of a wide range of different- sized animals (Ntaxa = 9), including artiodactyls, armadillos, rodents, carnivores, and birds. The data corresponds to the subsistence model proposed for the Interserrana area during the first half of the Middle Holocene. This diet focused on the exploitation of artiodactyls, although complemented by a wide variety of different taxa. Las investigaciones desarrolladas en los últimos años permitieron generar modelos sobre la subsistencia de los cazadores-recolectores que habitaron las distintas áreas de la región Pampeana durante el Pleistoceno final/Holoceno. Sin embargo, para el área Oeste, los datos sobre la dieta son aún escasos. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis del conjunto arqueofaunístico del sitio Laguna de los Pampas (partido de Lincoln, Buenos Aires), con el objetivo de evaluar las principales tendencias de la subsistencia. Asimismo, se pretende comparar los resultados con los modelos de dieta conocidos para otras áreas lindantes. La muestra de Laguna de los Pampas está conformada por 2.583 especímenes y cuenta con dos fechados correspondientes al Holoceno medio. A partir de los análisis realizados se pudo determinar la explotación de una importante diversidad de especies de distinto tamaño (Ntaxa = 9), entre ellas: artiodáctilos, armadillos, roedores, carnívoros y aves. Los datos generados son coincidentes con el modelo propuesto para el área Interserrana para la primera mitad del Holoceno medio, momento en el cual se observa una dieta orientada hacia el consumo de los artiodáctilos, pero complementada con una amplia variedad de taxones. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4229 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n1.4229 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4229/3761 Arqueología; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2018): January-April; 127-146 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2018): enero-abril; 127-146 1853-8126 0327-5159 Zooarchaeology Taphonomy Subsistence models Western area Zooarqueología Tafonomía Modelos de subsistencia Área Oeste Faunistic analysis of the Laguna de los Pampas site (Lincoln County, Pampean Region): Contributions to the study of subsistence in the Western Area of Humid Pampa Análisis faunístico del sitio Laguna de los Pampas (partido de Lincoln, región Pampeana).
