Zooarchaeology of the formative village of Palo Blanco (Tinogasta, Catamarca, Argentina)

In this paper we approach the archaeofaunistic remains recovered during excavations of the archeological locality of Palo Blanco in the decades of 1960 and 2000. Palo Blanco is located in the north sector of the Bolsón of Fimabalá area (Tinogasta, Catamarca) and it is composed of several rectangular...

Palo Blanco is located in the north sector of the Bolsón of Fimabalá area (Tinogasta, Catamarca) and it is composed of several rectangular shaped dwellings with tapia-style walls and dispersed distribution. The period of occupation of the village was between the third and tenth century A.D. although the dwellings were not inhabited synchronously. The identified tendency in the exploitation of faunal resources indicates that the camelids were the main resources. Osteometric studies show that domestic and wild camelids (Lama glama and Vicugna vicugna, respectively) were exploited in Palo Blanco. The predominance of subadult camelids suggests the implementation of a pastoralist strategy related to the exploitation of primary resources like meat, bone marrow and fat. The results allowed a deeper comprehension of the economic activities of the human groups that occupied the village of Palo Blanco through the first millennium A.D. En el presente trabajo se abordan los conjuntos arqueofaunísticos de la localidad arqueológica de Palo Blanco recuperados en intervenciones realizadas en la década de 1960 y en la década de 2000. Esta localidad se encuentra emplazada en el sector norte del bolsón de Fiambalá (Tinogasta, Catamarca) y se compone de varios núcleos habitacionales de distribución dispersa, predominantemente rectangulares y con muros de tapia. Su ocupación no fue sincrónica y se extiende desde el siglo III al siglo X A.D. La tendencia en el aprovechamiento de recursos faunísticos identificada fundamentalmente a partir del abordaje de los conjuntos de dos núcleos habitacionales sugiere que los camélidos fueron el principal recurso de origen animal utilizado en la aldea, en donde se encontraron especies tanto domesticadas (Lama glama) como silvestres (Vicugna vicugna). Además, la presencia predominante de camélidos subadultos sugiere una estrategia de pastoreo vinculada al aprovechamiento de recursos primarios como carne, médula y grasa. Los resultados a los que se arribaron permiten profundizar en el conocimiento de las actividades económicas de los grupos humanos que habitaron la aldea de Palo Blanco a lo largo del primer milenio de la era.
