Zooarchaeology and taphonomy of stratified open-air sites in northwestern Patagonia during the Late Holocene
The zooarchaeological and taphonomic study of the Cañadón Achicó 1/87, Shimmel 1 y 2 y El Manantial 1/88 sites, is presented. These ensembles correspond to stratified open-air sites, located in the upper and middle basin of the Limay River in northwest Patagonia. The archaeofaunistic materials come...

| description |
The zooarchaeological and taphonomic study of the Cañadón Achicó 1/87, Shimmel 1 y 2 y El Manantial 1/88 sites, is presented. These ensembles correspond to stratified open-air sites, located in the upper and middle basin of the Limay River in northwest Patagonia. The archaeofaunistic materials come from human occupations during the Late Holocene. The action of different processes and natural agents differentially affected each archaeofaunistic ensemble. In addition, moderate preservation conditions were observed. The remains were linked to exposure and re-exposition processes after burial. As a general trend, it was recorded that the distribution of specimens affected by natural agents and processes varied, in part, with stratigraphic depth. Lama guanicoe was the taxa most exploited by the human groups. It was complemented with the exploitation of Conepatus chinga, Chaetophractus villosus and Zaedyus pichiy. In Shimmel 1 and 2, the exotic domestic taxa Ovis orientalis aries would not have been part of the indigenous subsistence. Comparison with archaeofaunistic analyzes carried out at sites in the study area indicated that there are no taphonomic agents that exclusively affect rock shelters or open-air sites. |

Se presenta el estudio zooarqueológico y tafonómico de los sitios Cañadón Achicó 1/87, Shimmel 1 y 2 y El Manantial 1/88. Estos conjuntos corresponden a emplazamientos a cielos abiertos estratificados, ubicados en la cuenca superior y media del río Limay en el noroeste de Patagonia. Los materiales arqueofaunísticos proceden de ocupaciones humanas durante el Holoceno tardío. La acción de diferentes procesos y agentes naturales afectó diferencialmente a cada conjunto arqueofaunístico. Asimismo, se observaron condiciones de preservación moderadas. Los restos estuvieron vinculados a procesos de exposición y re-exposición luego de su enterramiento. Como tendencia general, se registró que distribución de los especímenes afectados por agentes y procesos naturales varió, en parte, con la profundidad estratigráfica. Lama guanicoe fue el taxón más explotado por los grupos humanos. Se complementó con la explotación de Conepatus chinga, Chaetophractusvillosus y Zaedyus pichiy. EL taxón exótico doméstico Ovis orientalis aries no habría formado parte de la subsistencia indígena en Shimmel 1 y 2. La comparación con análisis arqueofaunísticos realizados en sitios de la zona de estudio indicó que no existen agentes tafonómicos que afecten exclusivamente abrigos rocosos o sitios a cielo abierto. É apresentado o estudo zooarqueológico e tafonômico dos sítios Cañadón Achicó 1/87, Shimmel 1 e 2 e El Manantial 1/88. Esses conjuntos correspondem a sítios estratificados de céu aberto, localizados na bacia alta e média do rio Limay, no noroeste da Patagônia. Os materiais arqueofaunísticos vêm de ocupações humanas durante o Holoceno Superior. A ação de diferentes processos e agentes naturais afetou diferentemente cada conjunto arqueofaunístico. Além disso, foram observadas condições moderadas de preservação. Os restos mortais estavam ligados a processos de exposição e reexposição após o sepultamento. Como tendência geral, registou-se que a distribuição dos espécimes afetados por agentes e processos naturais variou, em parte, com a profundidade estratigráfica. Lama guanicoe foi o táxon mais explorado pelos grupos humanos. Foi complementado com a exploração de Conepatus chinga, Chaetophractus villosus e Zaedyus pichiy. Em Shimmel 1 e 2, os táxons domésticos exóticos Ovis orientalis aries não teriam feito parte da subsistência indígena. A comparação com análises arqueofaunísticas realizadas em locais da área de estudo indicou que não existem agentes tafonômicos que afetem exclusivamente abrigos rochosos ou locais ao ar livre.
