This ungulate played a fundamental role in the economic, social, and ideological spheres of these societies during the Holocene. In this sense, understanding the relationship between human and guanaco populations in the past is crucial to South American zooarchaeology. The aim of this paper is to present a methodology that allows estimating relative ages of guanaco throughout the analysis of the incisor teeth. The sample is composed of incisors from 91 modern guanacos assigned to different age-classes. This analysis included qualitative variables, such as the root and dentine state, and quantitative ones, such as the crown height. The results show that the combination of these variables is a useful indicator for estimating the age of guanacos in isolated incisors, which are usually found in the faunal record. El guanaco fue el principal recurso para los cazadores-recolectores que habitaron las regiones pampeana y patagónica de Argentina. Este ungulado jugó un rol fundamental en las esferas económica, social e ideológica de estas sociedades durante el Holoceno. En este sentido, comprender la relación entre las poblaciones de humanos y guanacos en el pasado es crucial para la zooarquelogía sudamericana. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una metodología que permite estimar la edad relativa de los camélidos a partir del análisis de los dientes incisivos. La muestra se compone de incisivos de 91 guanacos modernos, asignados a diferentes clases de edad. Este análisis incluyó variables cualitativas, tales como el estado de la raíz y de la dentina, así como cuantitativas, como la altura de la corona. Los resultados indican que la combinación de estas variables es un indicador útil para la estimación de la edad en incisivos aislados de guanaco, los cuales son frecuentemente hallados en el registro faunístico.
