| Sumario: | We present the results of the analysis of faunal remains from El Santuario I (district of Magdalena, Buenos Aires). The archaeological record of the site mainly consists of glass from alcoholic beverage containers and faunal remains. Kaolin pipes and metal elements were less abundant. The analysis of the assemblage allows determining the occupation in the second half of the 19th century. From documentary and archaeological evidence, we view/ identify the site as an area of consumption and disposal related to livestock activities developed in the productive establishment of Creole groups. Evidence of human use (cut marks, intentional fractures and thermal alterations) was recorded only in domestic animals, Ovis aries and Bos taurus. These are the most representative species in the sample, [comma] evidence suggesting differential uses. This work allows characterizing feeding patterns in the rural areas analyzed and livestock management strategies. |
