THE PRESENCE OF BIRDS IN THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE NORTH COAST OF SANTA CRUZ

In this paper we analyze the role that birds played in the subsistence of the ancient populations that inhabited the North Coast of Santa Cruz, in relation to their use as food and as raw material to make instruments.

In this way, we explore trends in temporal exploitation of birds and in space between different sites and sectors of our area of ​​study. To do this, we ordered and systematized all the  information of the archaeofaunistic assemblages studied over the years.  In this way,  we verified that there is an important variability in the representation of birds in the archaeological record. The most common taxa are cormorants, albatrosses and Magellanic penguins; while the archaeological localities of Cabo Blanco and Bahia del Oso Marino stand out because there are significant avifauna groups that show the intensive exploitation of cormorants and albatrosses respectively. Finally, the importance of birds transcends their dietary intake, since there are also instruments and artifacts decorated made with bones of birds. En este trabajo analizamos el rol que jugaron las aves en la subsistencia de las antiguas poblaciones que habitaron la costa norte de Santa Cruz, tanto en relación con su uso como alimento como materia prima para confeccionar instrumentos. De esta forma, exploramos tendencias espaciales entre distintos sitios y sectores de nuestra área de estudio y temporales en la explotación de las aves. Para ello, ordenamos y sistematizamos toda la información de los conjuntos arqueofaunísticos estudiados a lo largo de los años. De esta forma, comprobamos que existe una importante variabilidad en la representación porcentual de las aves del registro arqueológico del área de estudio. Los taxones más comunes son los cormoranes, albatros y pingüinos de Magallanes. Se destacan las localidades arqueológicas Cabo Blanco y Bahía del Oso Marino en las que existen conjuntos avifaunísticos significativos que evidencian la explotación intensiva de cormoranes y albatros respectivamente; mientras que no parece existir una tendencia concluyente en cuanto a cambios a lo largo del tiempo en la explotación de las aves. Por último, la importancia de las aves trasciende su aporte alimenticio, ya que también existen instrumentos y artefactos decorados confeccionados con huesos de aves. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
