Zooarchaeological analysis of Álvarez 4 site (northwestern Patagonia, Argentina). A contribution to the study of the subsistence of the human groups in the Limay river middle basin during the Late Holocene

This study presents a zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of Álvarez 4 site, a rockshelter located in the middle basin of the Limay river, northwestern Patagonia, Río Negro province, Argentina. Faunistic remains come from Period I (1100 ± 70 14C BP), Period II (210 ± 90 14C BP), the anthropica...

Fernández, Fernando Julián 2022-06-05 This study presents a zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of Álvarez 4 site, a rockshelter located in the middle basin of the Limay river, northwestern Patagonia, Río Negro province, Argentina. Faunistic remains come from Period I (1100 ± 70 14C BP), Period II (210 ± 90 14C BP), the anthropically altered square C3 and the Surface Layer (210 ± 90 14C BP). A low incidence of postdepositional processes was determined. The action of other taphonomic processes such as sedimentary disturbance due to anthropic causes and possible bone migration was recorded. A notable part of the remains entered the site as a discard of human food and tool manufacture. Lama guanicoe was the most exploited taxon in the site, although with some variations across the sequence. In C3, the exploitation of Leopardus sp. was recorded. In Period I, the taxa Diplodon chilensis, Lama guanicoe, Conepatus chinga and Chaetophractus villosus were exploited. In Period II, the incorporation of various taxa (Rhea pennata, Lycalopex gymnocercus, Zaedyus pichiy, Lagidium viscacia and unidentified Caviinae) suggests a broader diet. The exotic fauna found in the Surface Layer, Ovis orientalis aries and Lepus europaeus, were not included in the human economy. Se presenta el análisis zooarqueológico y tafonómico del sitio Álvarez 4, un alero emplazado en la cuenca media del río Limay en el noroeste de Patagonia, Río Negro, Argentina. Los restos faunísticos provienen del Período I (1100 ± 70 AP), del Período II (210 ± 90 AP), de la cuadrícula C3 (perturbada antrópicamente) y de la Capa Superficial (210 ± 90 AP). Se determinó una incidencia baja de procesos postdepositacionales. Se registró la acción de otros procesos tafonómicos como perturbación sedimentaria por causas antrópicas y posible migración de huesos. Una parte destacable de los restos ingresaron al sitio como descarte de alimentación humana y de la confección de instrumentos. Lama guanicoe fue el taxón más explotado en el sitio, aunque con algunas variaciones a lo largo de la secuencia. Se registró la explotación de Leopardus sp. en C3. En el Período I se utilizó Diplodon chilensis, Lama guanicoe, Conepatus chinga y Chaetophractus villosus. La incorporación de varios taxones (Rhea pennata, Lycalopex gymnocercus, Zaedyus pichiy, Lagidium viscacia y Caviinae indeterminado) en el Período II sugiere una ampliación de la dieta. Las especies exóticas halladas en la Capa Superficial, Ovis orientalis aries y Lepus europaeus, no formaron parte de la economía humana. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9915 10.34096/arqueologia.t28.n2.9915 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9915/10142 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9915/12052 Derechos de autor 2022 Ailín A.
