In the present contribution lizards remains recovered in the archaeological site Orejas de Burro 1 (OB1), located in the volcanic field PaliAike, South of the province of Santa Cruz (Argentina) are described. Materials include remains of coronoids, dentaries, frontals, maxillae, premaxillae, long bo...

Materials include remains of coronoids, dentaries, frontals, maxillae, premaxillae, long bones,parietals,vertebrae and other bone fragments. Osteological features allow the taxonomic assignment of these elements to the genus Liolaemus. Until now, more than 100 left dentaries and 100 right dentaries have been recognized, supporting the presence of at least 100 individuals. The abundance of owl regurgitation pellets would explain the entrance of the lizard remains in the site. The record of lizards in OB1 is the third recognition of the genus Liolaemus in an archaeological site of Argentina, constituting the southernmost finding until now, and the most abundant and diverse in osteological elements. So far, the archaeological sites of Patagonia are characterized by the taxonomic homogeneity of lizards, where the only taxon recognized is Liolaemus. En la presente contribución se da a conocer una acumulación de restos de lagartijas recuperados en el sitio arqueológico Orejas de Burro 1 (OB1), ubicado en el campo volcánico Pali Aike, sur de la provincia de Santa Cruz (Argentina). Los materiales incluyen restos de coronoides, dentarios, frontales, maxilares, huesos largos, parietales, premaxilares, vértebras y fragmentos de otros huesos. Las características osteológicas permiten la asignación taxonómica de estos elementos al género Liolaemus. Hasta el momento se ha contabilizado un número superior a 100 dentarios izquierdos y 100 dentarios derechos, que permiten sostener la presencia de al menos 100 individuos. La abundancia de bolos de regurgitación de lechuzas hallados en el sitio explicaría el ingreso de los restos de lagartijas. El hallazgo en OB1 es el tercer reconocimiento del género Liolaemus en un sitio arqueológico de Argentina, constituye el hallazgo más austral conocido, y se destaca por la gran abundancia y diversidad de elementos preservados. Hasta el presente, los sitios arqueológicos de Patagonia se caracterizan por la homogeneidad taxonómica de lagartijas, donde el único taxón presente es Liolaemus. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
