Accumulations of bone remains in carancho (Caracara plancus, Aves, Falconiformes) nests from Southern Patagonia. Taphonomic and archaeological implications
Non-ingested faunal remains recovered inside and under a carancho (Caracara plancus) nest located in the terraced levels of the Coyle-Gallegos interfluve are studied to evaluate its role as a taphonomic agent. The nest was built on a calafate (Berberis sp.) bush, located in the center of a concentra...

| description |
Non-ingested faunal remains recovered inside and under a carancho (Caracara plancus) nest located in the terraced levels of the Coyle-Gallegos interfluve are studied to evaluate its role as a taphonomic agent. The nest was built on a calafate (Berberis sp.) bush, located in the center of a concentration of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) carcasses killed by winter stress in 2020. The nest was described and measured during the fieldwork, and its contents were collected. In the laboratory, anatomical and taxonomic identifications were made, in addition to surveying different taphonomic variables. The results indicate the predominance of guanaco remains, followed by hog-nosed skunk (Conepatus chinga), hare (Lepus europaeus), and lesser rhea (Rhea pennata). Most of the remains are disarticulated and fractured, showing carnivorous mammal marks. When considering the carancho nests in the framework of regional archaeology, it should be noted that the greatest potential for contamination of the record with bones accumulated by caranchos would be in canyons and rocky areas. The observations and the results of the analyses allow us to recognize the incidence of the carancho as a record-forming agent, which is relevant given that, due to the scarce evidence of its action, it is not usually considered when evaluating the taphonomic histories of archaeological assemblages. |

Se estudiaron los restos faunísticos no ingeridos recuperados en el interior y bajo un nido de carancho (Caracara plancus) localizado en los niveles aterrazados del interfluvio Coyle-Gallegos con el objetivo general de evaluar su papel como agente tafonómico. El nido fue construido sobre una mata de calafate (Berberis sp.), ubicada en el centro de una concentración de carcasas de guanacos (Lama guanicoe) muertos por estrés invernal en el año 2020. Durante las tareas de campo se describieron y tomaron medidas del nido y se colectó su contenido. En el laboratorio realizamos identificaciones anatómicas y taxonómicas, además de relevar distintas variables tafonómicas. Los resultados indican el predominio de restos de guanaco, seguido por zorrino (Conepatus chinga), liebre (Lepus europaeus) y choique (Rhea pennata). Gran parte de los restos están desarticulados, fracturados y presentan marcas de mamíferos carnívoros. Al considerar los nidos de carancho en el marco de la arqueología regional, se destaca que el mayor potencial de contaminación del registro con los huesos acumulados por caranchos se daría en cañadones y roqueríos. Las observaciones y los resultados de los análisis permiten reconocer la incidencia del carancho como agente formador del registro, lo cual es relevante dado que por la escasa evidencia de su accionar, no suele ser considerado al momento de evaluar las historias tafonómicas de los conjuntos arqueológicos. Restos faunísticos desatados recuperados dentro e sob um ninho de caracara (Caracara plancus) localizado nos níveis escalonados do interfluvexo Coyle-Gallegos foram estudados com o objetivo geral de avaliar seu papel como agente taphonômico. O ninho foi construído sobre um arbusto de calafate (Berberis sp.), localizado no centro de uma concentração de carcaças de guanaco (Lama guanicoe) mortas pelo estresse do inverno em 2020. Durante o trabalho de campo, o ninho foi descrito e medido e seu conteúdo foi coletado. No laboratório, realizamos identificações anatômicas e taxonômicas, além de pesquisar diferentes variáveis taphonômicas. Os resultados indicam a predominância de restos de guanaco, seguidos de gambá (Conepatus chinga), lebre (Lepus europaeus) e ema (Rhea pennata). A maioria dos restos mortais são desarticulados, fraturados e ostentam as marcas de mamíferos carnívoros. Ao considerar os ninhos de carniça no contexto da arqueologia regional, observa-se que o maior potencial de contaminação do registro com ossos acumulados pela carniça seria em barrancos e áreas rochosas. As observações e os resultados das análises nos permitem reconhecer a incidência da carniça como agente formador de registros, o que é relevante uma vez que, devido à escassa evidência de suas ações, geralmente não é considerada ao avaliar as histórias taphonômicas de assembléias arqueológicas.
