Impact of the domestic exotic fauna on human subsistence in the upper Limay river basin: the evidence of Casa de Piedra de Ortega (Río Negro, Argentina)

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

We present the zooarchaeological study of the Casa de Piedra de Ortega site, located in the upper basin of the Limay River (Rio Negro Province, Argentina). We analyze the assemblages coming from the pre-Hispanic component (Period III, 1490 ± 70 C14 BP, immediately before contact), and the post-Hispa...

description	We present the zooarchaeological study of the Casa de Piedra de Ortega site, located in the upper basin of the Limay River (Rio Negro Province, Argentina). We analyze the assemblages coming from the pre-Hispanic component (Period III, 1490 ± 70 C14 BP, immediately before contact), and the post-Hispanic component (Periods IV-V, 280 ± 50 C14 BP). A low incidence of weathering, erosion, and carnivore action was identified indicating good preservation and rapid burial of the assemblages. Most of the remains were deposited by human activities, including the exploitation of native and exotic fauna for feeding and skin use. Throughout the sequence (Periods III to V) Lama guanicoe, Rhea pennata, and Conepatus chinga were exploited, although L. guanicoe was the main resource. In Period IV, Lycalopex griseus, Lycalopex culpaeus, and Chaetophractus villosus were incorporated into the diet. In Period V, the use of Equus caballus, Bos taurus, and mostly of Ovis aries was recorded. Although a taxonomic diversification was observed in posthispanic occupations, there was also an increase in the intensity of L. guanicoe exploitation. This shows that there was no replacement of native fauna exploitation with the arrival of domestic exotic fauna. Information from documentary sources was used to contextualize this research and the results were compared with those from archaeofaunistic analyzes carried out at other archaeological sites in the study area.

Se presenta el estudio zooarqueológico del sitio Casa de Piedra de Ortega, ubicado en la cuenca superior del río Limay (Río Negro, Argentina). Se analizan los conjuntos del componente prehispánico inmediatamente anterior al contacto (Período III, 1490 ± 70 AP) y del componente posthispánico (Período IV-V, 280 ± 50 AP). Se determinó una baja incidencia de meteorización, erosión y acción de carnívoros, lo que indicó buena conservación y rápido enterramiento de los conjuntos. Gran parte de los restos se depositaron por actividad humana, incluyendo la explotación de fauna autóctona y exótica para alimentación y uso de las pieles. A lo largo de toda la secuencia (Períodos III a V) se explotaron Lama guanicoe, Rhea pennata y Conepatus chinga, aunque L. guanicoe se configura como el principal recurso. En el Período IV, Lycalopex griseus, Lycalopex culpaeus y Chaetophractus villosus se incorporan a los recursos. En el Período V, se registró la utilización de Equus caballus, Bos taurus y, mayormente, de Ovis aries. Si bien se observó una diversificación taxonómica en las ocupaciones posthispánicas, también se registró una mayor intensidad en la explotación de L. guanicoe. Ello demuestra que no hubo un reemplazo de la explotación de la fauna autóctona con la llegada de la fauna exótica doméstica. Para contextualizar la investigación se utilizó la información procedente de fuentes documentales y se compararon los resultados con los obtenidos en análisis arqueofaunísticos realizados en sitios arqueológicos del área de estudio.
