Abstract This paper presents the results of the zooarchaeological analysis of Acevedo 1 site, located in the forest-steppe ecotone of central-west Chubut, an area little known in terms of the human subsistence of the past. About it, the evidence is scarce. In large vertebrates, a cut mark and a percussion mark in two indeterminate mammal bones. Carnivore damages (chewing and digestive corrosion) show that most of the faunal remains is a result of the activity of birds of prey and mainly foxes that used this site.

Keywords : Zooarchaeology; Taphonomy; Chubut; Foxes; Rodents.
