DELLEPIANE, Juan. ZOOARCHAEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF HUNTING BLINDS IN THE STROBEL PLATEAU (SANTA CRUZ PROVINCE). Relaciones [online]. 2021, vol.46, n.1, pp.191-200. ISSN 0325-2221.

This workpresents the first systematic zooarchaeological informationfor the Strobel plateau. The bone record presented was retrieved from excavations made in hunting blinds, sites with a

remarkable frequency in the región. The purpose of this work is twofold. First, since bone conser- vation represents a major problem for the archaeological studies of the plateau, to the objective is to distinguish, from a taphonomic perspective, the existence of more and less conservative sectors of bone evidence within the area. Second, the subsistence strategies adopted in the plateau during the Late Holocene will be assessed in order to discuss the presence of faunal management varia- bility. The results indicate that although the plateau occupation exhibits a marked logistic and/ or seasonal character, the adopted strategies are characterized by the development of multiple alternatives and different modalities in relation to the use of faunal resources.

Keywords : hunting blinds; zooarchaeology; variability ,Strobelplateau; Late Holocene.
