Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Instituto de las Culturas; Argentina This paper presents an exploratory study on the taxonomic diversity of pre-Hispanic archaeofaunas in the South-Central Andes (SCA; western South America) from the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary to the Late-Holocene. The SCA is a complex of diverse environments and has undergone distinct climate events for the last 13,000 years, such as the occurrence of warmer and drier conditions in the Middle-Holocene. The South-Central Andean area was part of the larger Andes interaction area, which was a primary center for animal and plant domestication and the emergence of agro-pastoralist economies. Since subsistence was key to these processes, the SCA provides a relevant case study on the interactions among environment, foodways and sociocultural evolution. Taxonomic diversity was used here as a proxy for diet breadth. A total of 268 archaeofaunal assemblages were sampled from the zooarchaeological literature. Reviewed variables included the cultural chronology and spatial coordinates of the assemblages, as well as the presence and abundance of taxa at the family rank. Taxonomic diversity covered two dimensions: composition (families present in each assemblage) and structure (quantitative relationships among taxa), which was measured through richness (NTAXA), ubiquity and relative abundance (NISP based rank-order). Despite the uneven distribution of samples, the analyses revealed the following trends: (1) a moderate relationship between NTAXA and distance from coastline for most of the Holocene; (2) a potential decrease in assemblage richness for coastal ecoregions during the Late-Holocene; and (3) a generalized increase in the relative abundance of Camelidae. Este artículo presenta un estudio exploratorio sobre la diversidad taxonómica de arqueofaunas prehispánicas de los Andes Centro-Sur (ACS, Sudamérica occidental) desde el límite Pleistoceno-Holoceno hasta el Holoceno Tardío. Los ACS son un complejo de diversos ambientes y atravesaron distintos eventos climáticos durante los últimos 13.000 años, como el incremento de aridez y temperatura del Holoceno Medio. Los ACS son parte de la gran área de interacción andina o Andes, que fue un centro de domesticación de plantas y animales y de la emergencia de comunidades agropastoriles. Los modos de subsistencia fueron claves en estos procesos y los ACS representan un caso de estudio pertinente a los nexos entre ambiente, modos alimentarios y evolución sociocultural. La diversidad taxonómica se utilizó como un indicador de amplitud de dieta. Una muestra de 268 conjuntos arqueofaunísticos se compiló a partir de la literatura especializada. Las variables incluyen cronología relativa y coordenadas de los conjuntos y la presencia y frecuencia de taxones al rango familia. La diversidad taxonómica comprende las dimensiones de composición (ocurrencia de familias en los conjuntos) y estructura (frecuencias de taxones), que fue medida por la riqueza (NTAXA), ubicuidad y abundancia ordinal basada en NISP. Si bien la cobertura de la muestra es desigual, se observaron algunas tendencias: (1) una relación moderada entre proximidad a la costa y riqueza taxonómica hasta el Holoceno medio inclusive; (2) una posible reducción relativa de la riqueza de los conjuntos en las ecorregiones costeras durante el Holoceno tardío; (3) un predominio ascendente de Camelidae.
