Archaeomalacology at the archaeological site Pozo de la Chola (foothill region of Jujuy, Argentina). Tafonomic studies, environmental inferences and anthropic processes

Remains of gastropod mollusks are frequent at fertile levels of the archaeological sites in the foothill region of Jujuy in northwestern Argentina, assigned to the early Formative Period (500 BC-600 AD). However, analysis of this type of fauna had not been approached until 2014, where a first interp...

description Remains of gastropod mollusks are frequent at fertile levels of the archaeological sites in the foothill region of Jujuy in northwestern Argentina, assigned to the early Formative Period (500 BC-600 AD). However, analysis of this type of fauna had not been approached until 2014, where a first interpretation was made about its presence in the excavated contexts and its economic implications. In this opportunity, in order to discern related issues to the various processes involved with the existence of mollusks at the archaeological levels (taphonomic and anthropic), the study presents the obtained results at the site Pozo de la Chola (San Francisco River region, Jujuy, Argentina), at intrasite spatial scale. Different kinds of vertical and horizontal distributions in discrete excavation sectors were evaluated, as well as in the 105 boreholes, in order to establish the dimension of the archaeological site. Various indicators were evaluated, such as ethology of mollusks, biometric profiles, association with other classes of archaeofauna and archaeological materials, presence/absence of different taphonomic and anthropic agents and spatial distributions. The results indicate a notable prevalence of gastropods of the family Ampullariidae, which tend to concentrate in some specific sectors of the site, particularly those linked to processing areas.

Restos de moluscos gasterópodos son frecuentes en los niveles fértiles de los sitios arqueológicos de la región del piedemonte de Jujuy en el noroeste de Argentina, asignados al período Formativo temprano (500 AC-600 DC), sin embargo, análisis de esta clase de fauna no habían sido abordados hasta el año 2014, en donde se realiza una primera interpretación acerca de su presencia en los contextos excavados y sus implicancias económicas. En esta oportunidad, con el objeto de discernir cuestiones relacionadas a los diversos procesos involucrados con la existencia de moluscos en los niveles arqueológicos (tafonómicos y antrópicos), se presentan los resultados obtenidos en el sitio Pozo de la Chola (región del río San Francisco, Jujuy, Argentina), a escala espacial intrasitio. Se evaluaron las diferentes clases de distribuciones tanto verticales como horizontales en sectores discretos de excavación, así como en los 105 pozos de sondeos realizados para establecer la dimensión del sitio arqueológico. Se evaluaron distintos indicadores tales como; etología de los moluscos, perfiles biométricos, asociación con otras clases de arqueofaunas y de materiales arqueológicos, presencia/ausencia de diferentes agentes tafonómicos y antrópicos, distribuciones espaciales. Los resultados indican una notable prevalencia de los gasterópodos de la familia Ampullariidae que tienden a concentrarse en algunos sectores específicos del sitio, particularmente aquellos vinculados con áreas de procesamiento.
