On the basis of the taxonomic composition of the assemblage, and a taphonomic analysis of the same, the economic role for Pampean hunter-gatherers of invertebrates during Late Holocene is discussed. Five marine species were identified, including gastropods and bivalves; among the latter, the proportionally high representation of Amarilladesma mactroides (Reeve 1854 = Mesodesma mactroides) is noteworthy. Following, we propose a differential use of the various species, in which the gathering of Adelomelon brasiliana was related to technological use, while yellow clams were exploited for food.

Se presenta nueva información sobre la utilización de invertebrados marinos en el sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires. A partir del análisis de la composición taxonómica y de la evaluación de aspectos tafonómicos de los restos malacológicos del sitio Puente de Fierro, se discute el rol de los invertebrados en las decisiones económicas de los grupos de cazadores-recolectores pampeanos durante el Holoceno tardío. Se identificaron 5 especies marinas, que incluyen gastrópodos y bivalvos; entre estos últimos se destaca la representación de Amarilladesma mactroides (Reeve 1854 = Mesodesma mactroides). Se propone un uso diferencial de las distintas especies: por un lado, la obtención de Adelomelon brasiliana estuvo vinculada con fines tecnológicos, mientras que las almejas amarillas fueron recolectadas con fines alimenticios. A nivel regional esta información resulta novedosa para los contextos del Holoceno tardío en la Región Pampeana.
