| Sumario: | We present here an analysis of the faunal remains recovered at the Soria 2 site (Yocavil valley, Catamarca), along the fieldwork seasons from 2002 to 2006. The site is an architectural structure composed by at least two rooms and was identified as a household. The assemblages reviewed here were found at an archaeological deposit with abundant cultural remains and a radiocarbon date of 1940 RCYBP, situating this context at the very beginnings of the Formative Period of Yocavil. The most important faunal resource were domestic and wild Camelidae species (Lama glama, Lama guanicoe and Vicugna vicugna), with a marked preference for young animals according to the estimations of the Minimal Number of Individuals. These results will help to understand the diversity and evolution of the exploitation of faunal resources at the first centuries of the agropastoralist economy in the area. |
