Abstract
LEON, Diego Catriel. Faunal analysis of the site Quequén Salado. Subsistence of huntergatherers of the late Holocene on the Pampas maritime coast. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.2, pp.07-22. ISSN 1852-060X. http://dx.doi.org/http://doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v13.n2.24517.
Abstract Quequén Salado 1 site is located on the left bank of the homonymous river (Tres Arroyos, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) and distant a few kilometers from the current coastline. The first analyzes allowed to define a succession of occupations corresponding to the final late Holocene by hunter-gatherers who, in their annual mobility cycles, were established in the plains adjacent to the coastal dunes chain of the Interrserrana area. This work presents the zooarcheological and taphonomic analyzes that allow addressing both the formation processes of the site and the subsistence. The results indicate intense processes of mixing materials as well as destruction of remains and a wildlife exploitation similar to that of the Pampas interior. This information is discussed in the framework of the occupation models of the sea coast and subsistence for the late Holocene.
