Resumen

MIYANO, Juan Pablo; DE NIGRIS, Mariana  y  RATTO, Norma. Zooarchaeology of the formative village of Palo Blanco (Tinogasta, Catamarca, Argentina). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2015, vol.8, n.2, pp.07-20. ISSN 1852-060X.

In this paper we approach the archaeofaunistic remains recovered during excavations of the archeological locality of Palo Blanco in the decades of 1960 and 2000. Palo Blanco is located in the north sector of the Bolsón of Fimabalá area (Tinogasta, Catamarca) and it is composed of several rectangular shaped dwellings with tapia-style walls and dispersed distribution. The period of occupation of the village was between the third and tenth century A.D. although the dwellings were not inhabited synchronously. The identified tendency in the exploitation of faunal resources indicates that the camelids were the main resources. Osteometric studies show that domestic and wild camelids (Lama glama and Vicugna vicugna, respectively) were exploited in Palo Blanco. The predominance of subadult camelids suggests the implementation of a pastoralist strategy related to the exploitation of primary resources like meat, bone marrow and fat. The results allowed a deeper comprehension of the economic activities of the human groups that occupied the village of Palo Blanco through the first millennium A.D.
