Microvertebrates from Cueva el Abra archaeological site, eastern Tandilia: taphonomy and paleoenvironment
Taphonomy and diversity of the skeletal remains of microvertebrates (mammals, fish, birds and snakes) from the latest Holocene of Cueva El Abra, Eastern Tandilia range (Buenos Aires, Argentina) were analyzed. Taphonomic attributes indicate that the accumulation of the sample is due to strigiform noc...

Taphonomic attributes indicate that the accumulation of the sample is due to strigiform nocturnal birds of prey activity (cricetids rodents, didelphids, Ctenomys talarum and some birds), the occasional death on site (snakes) and human activity (cavid rodents, fish and some birds). Mammal content and chronology of this deposit are consistent with the warm and wet period Medieval Climate Anomaly (ca. 800 to 1300 AD). Depositional agents, preservation of the skeleton and the diversity of the taxa analyzed are similar to the microvertebrates assembly of Late Holocene of Cueva Tixi. Se analizó la tafonomía y la diversidad de los restos óseos de microvertebrados (mamíferos, peces, aves y ofidios) del Holoceno tardío final del sitio Cueva El Abra, Tandilia oriental (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Los atributos tafonómicos indican que la acumulación de la muestra se debe a la actividad de aves rapaces nocturnas Strigiformes (roedores cricétidos, didélfidos, Ctenomys talarum y algunas aves), a la muerte ocasional en el sitio (ofidios) y a la actividad humana (roedores cávidos, peces y algunas aves). El contenido de micromamíferos y la cronología del depósito son consistentes con el período cálido y húmedo de la Anomalía Climática Medieval (ca. 800 a 1300 AD). Los agentes de depositación, la preservación del esqueleto y la diversidad taxonómica son similares a las del conjunto de microvertebrados del Holoceno tardío final procedente de Cueva Tixi.

Taphonomy and diversity of the skeletal remains of microvertebrates (mammals, fish, birds and snakes) from the latest Holocene of Cueva El Abra, Eastern Tandilia range (Buenos Aires, Argentina) were analyzed.
