MONTSERRAT TIVOLI, Angélica. Aprovechamiento de materias primas óseas de aves para la confección de punzones huecos en la región del canal Beagle. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.1, pp.251-262. ISSN 1850-373X.
Birds were exploited for various purposes by hunter-gatherer-fisher societies of the Beagle Channel coasts, including as a source of food, technology, and ornamentation. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the use of this resource as a raw material for manufacturing bone tools, that is, for technological purposes. A survey of the samples evaluated in papers by other authors is presented, as well as an analysis of the awls from more recently excavated sites. The assessment of assemblages from early (ca. 6000-4000 BP) and recent (ca. 2000- 100 BP) periods showed that the selection of bird bones for the production of awls followed similar patterns in the use of taxa and anatomical parts. Moreover, the exploitation of birds for technological purposes differed from subsistence use as small numbers of taxa are used for the former while more taxa were consumed for subsistence, though with changes in proportions through time.
