GUARDIA, Nicolás. Methodology for the incorporation of birds to the reference biological collections. The Centro de Investigaciones Ruinas de San Francisco's case. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.1, pp.43-52. ISSN 1853-1296.

The biological reference collections are a central tool to the analysis and determination of anatomical and taxonomical bone remains from archaeological and paleontological sites/deposits. The Research Centre Ruinas of San Francisco (from now on CIRSF), dependent on the Municipalidad of Mendoza, has a biological reference collection for the study of those remains. The need to organize, enlarge and complete this collection has led us to arrange what we had and introduce new specimens. In this paper we propose a methodology to process individuals from the class Aves to incorporate into the biological collections of reference. In that way, to achieve a larger representation of species allows us to improve the anatomical and taxonomical identification of archaeological remains. The results between 2016-2018 had been satisfactory, allowing us to amplify our sample.
