| description |
The measurements obtained from South American camelids appendicular skeleton bones have been used in recent years as a benchmark for interpreting different aspects of archaeological studies. The shape and size of bones have been linked to various factors which may be related to environmental restrictions and human management. This is of great importance for interpreting the history of human-camelid relationships through time, since the many remains obtained from archaeological deposits permit reconstructing situations that occurred in the past, which can be interpreted as the result of paleoeconomic activity or environmental changes. Therefore, this paper aims to present metric data obtained from contemporary individuals of South American camelids, which have been considered relevant for use as comparative material. An evaluation of this data is given a critical look in order to rethink the use of local and nonlocal standards for “taxonomic” assignment of archaeological samples. In order to assess the variability in shape and size of the first phalanx, the application of Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis (UPGMA) is presented. This takes into account differences in size, shape and geographical origin in order to observe the contribution of each variable in the formation of this sample. As a result, it is concluded that the use of both techniques, as well as data from the geographical provenience of the modern samples, allows a finer-grained species determination. |

Variability, metric standards and its importance as a comparative set for the interpretation of remains from archaeological contexts Osteometría de falanges proximales de camélidos sudamericanos modernos. Variabilidad, estándares métricos y su importancia como conjunto comparativo para la interpretación de restos hallados en contextos arqueológicos Izeta, Andrés D. Otaola, Clara Gasco, Alejandra camélidos sudamericanos Osteometría esqueleto postcraneal falange proximal variabilidad estándares comparativos South American camelids osteometry postcranial skeleton proximal phalanx variability comparative standards The measurements obtained from South American camelids appendicular skeleton bones have been used in recent years as a benchmark for interpreting different aspects of archaeological studies.

Las medidas obtenidas a partir de huesos del esqueleto apendicular de camélidos sudamericanos han sido utilizadas en los últimos años como insumo básico para interpretar distintos aspectos relacionados con su asignación especifica, manejo de rebaños y estrategias económicas, entre otros. La forma y el tamaño de los huesos han sido interpretados como el resultado de distintas fuerzas asociadas a distintos tipos de restricciones ambientales o modificaciones producto del manejo humano. Esto es de gran importancia a la hora de interpretar la historia de la relación humano-camélido, dado que el registro material obtenido en depósitos arqueológicos posee variados restos a través de los cuales se pueden reconstruir diversas situaciones ocurridas en el pasado, tanto a nivel de paleo-economías o paleoambientes. Gran parte de estas interpretaciones se han basado en escasas medidas de estándares moderno. Por ello, este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar datos métricos obtenidos de individuos contemporáneos de camélidos sudamericanos y que han sido considerados relevantes para su uso como material comparativo. Con esto se intenta evaluar desde una mirada crítica el uso de estándares locales y no locales para la asignación específica de muestras arqueológicas. Con el fin de evaluar la variabilidad en la forma y el tamaño de las primeras falanges se aplica el Análisis de Componente Principal y de Conglomerados (UPGMA). Para ello se toman en cuenta diferencias de tamaño, forma y procedencia geográfica con el fin de observar el peso aportado por cada variable en la conformación de esta muestra. Como resultado se concluye que el uso de ambas técnicas más la procedencia geográfica de las muestras modernas permite una definición por especie de grano más fino.
