Sumario:Huncú Nazar, an open-air archaeological site occupied during the Late Holocene (ca. 3000 years BP), is located on the shore of a shallow lake from the Hinojo-Las Tunas Shallow Lake System in the Pampean region of Argentina. Within an area of 5,000 m2 are distributed 22 hearths, caches of rocks, and concentrations of granitoid rocks. In one of the excavated sectors, researchers identified hearths with concave bases and the use of bones of Lama guanicoe (Artiodactyla, Camelidae) as fuel. In this way, the inhabitants solved the problem of accumulating animal waste that would have otherwise affected their standards of living. They also deposited materials related to subsistence and technology around the hearths.
