Abstract
SARTORI, Julieta and PEREZ JIMENO, Laura. Zooarchaelogy in the aluvial plain of the Paraná River: site "Campo Binaghi" from a regional perspective". Comechingonia [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.2, pp.93-115. ISSN 1851-0027.
This paper analyzes the archaeofaunal material recovered of Campo Binaghi site, which is located at the Alluvial Plain of Paraná river (Las Toscas, province of Santa Fe). Several species of fishes, armadillos, rodents, deers and reptile were identify upon which discuss its introduction in the archaeological recover and the relative importance of each one. For this aims we realized the observation of taphonomics agents that could be affecting the sample and aspects related with the processing of the prey (eg. cut marks). Campo Binaghi have been found in the same eco-region as other sites, like Cerro Aguará and Barrancas del Paranacito, but the first one is located in higher and wider area than latters two. These characteristics produce the access to more and different resources that are specific of this kind of environments. It is relevant to have known the patron of exploitation of faunistic resources by hunter-gatherer in this zone in order to compare CB with other records. This comparative analysis allow us expand the knowledge about the utilization of space and resources during the past.
