Resumen

STOESSEL, Luciana. Archaeofaunistic analysis of Loma Ruiz 1 and El Tigre sites (Villarino and Patagones districts, Buenos Aires province, Argentina): a contribution to knowledge of subsistence in the lower basin of the colorado river during the late Holocene. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2007, n.8, pp.235-251. ISSN 1850-373X.

In this paper, the results obtained from an analysis carried out on the faunal assemblages of the Loma Ruiz 1 and El Tigre sites (Villarino and Patagones Districts, Buenos Aires Province) are presented. The general objective is to contribute to insights into the subsistence of hunter-gatherer groups who inhabited the lower basin of the Colorado River during the late Holocene. A preliminary subsistence pattern is presented on the basis of the archaeofaunal analysis, faunal evidence originating from other archaeological sites in the area, and the information provided by the analysis of stable isotopes and grinding materials. This pattern suggests a subsistence strategy based mainly on the exploitation of guanaco, complemented by the consumption of deer, ñandú, and vegetal resources. Such a pattern is characteristic of the initial late Holocene (ca. 3000-1000 years BP). However, it is proposed that towards the final late Holoceno (ca. 1000-300 years BP) a broader spectrum of exploited faunal species would have existed, with the incorporation of species of smaller size (i.e., peludo, piche), and the contribution of fluvial (percas) and possibly marine and vegetables resources.

Palabras clave : Archaeofaunal analysis; Subsistence; Lower Basin of the Colorado River; Late Holocene.
