The archaeological site El Pichao has been studied from various aspects, however, the anthracological analysis of samples recovered in residential units of the Regional Development period (1000-535 AP) had not yet been carried out. This topic is addressed by studying carbon obtained from the STucTav5 - 100 unit. The taxonomic identification of the macro remains was made by comparing the archaeological carbons with a reference collection of histological cuts that includes specimens of the flora of the study area; the carbons were examined by observing the transverse, longitudinal tangential and longitudinal radial sections of the log under a binocular magnifier, optical microscope with incident light and photographs were taken with microscope. In the set of carbons, the following taxa were identified: Prosopis sp., P. torquata, Geoffroeadecorticans, Acacia sp., Nicotianaglauca, Bulnesiaschickendantzii, Larreadivaricata and one taxon remained in the category of Unidentified. They are part of the local flora of the area and would have been used during occupations corresponding to the period of Regional and subsequent Developments. The data generated encourages the development of this line of work in the area.
