Analysis of the fauna of the archaeological site “El pobladito de ampolla” (Catamarca foothills, Argentina)

Archaeological studies in the most northern foothills of the Sierra de Ancasti (Santa Rosa department, Catamarca province, Argentina) are sparse. And even more if we refer to the archaeofaunistic researches that are practically nonexistent. This situation resulted in a sufficient incentive for gener...

Mercolli, Pablo Taboada, Constanza archaeofauna consumption wildlife Ancasti hills arqueofauna consumo fauna silvestre Sierra de Ancasti Archaeological studies in the most northern foothills of the Sierra de Ancasti (Santa Rosa department, Catamarca province, Argentina) are sparse. And even more if we refer to the archaeofaunistic researches that are practically nonexistent. This situation resulted in a sufficient incentive for generating the first records in the area, related to animal species exploitation, carried out by the communities that occupied this sector. To this goal, we focus on the evidence provided by the partial excavation of three contexts in the residential site named "El Pobladito de Ampolla", associated to dates belonging to the first four centuries of the Christian Era and to "Condorhuasi" and "Cortaderas" (or "Alumbrera Tricolor") ceramic materials. This work shows the results obtained through the application of several methodological tools that are currently used to carry out archaeofaunistic analysis. These tools contemplate among other aspects, the determination of taxonomic and anatomical variables of the different species represented, taphonomy, thermal alterations, osteometric analysis, and the calculation of age profiles. Los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en el piedemonte más septentrional de la Sierra de Ancasti (Depto. Santa Rosa, Prov. de Catamarca, Argentina) son escasos, más aún si nos remitimos a las investigaciones arqueofaunísticas que prácticamente no existen. Este aspecto resultó ser un motivo suficiente para generar los primeros antecedentes vinculados a la explotación de las especies animales llevada a cabo por las comunidades que habitaron en esta zona. A tal fin, nos concentramos en las evidencias aportadas por tres contextos excavados parcialmente en el sitio residencial “El Pobladito de Ampolla”, asociados a fechados correspondientes a los cuatro primeros siglos de la Era Cristiana y a material cerámico Condorhuasi y Cortaderas (o Alumbrera Tricolor). A los fines de los objetivos señalados, este trabajo da cuenta de los resultados obtenidos mediante la aplicación de diversas herramientas metodológicas que actualmente se ponen en práctica para realizar análisis arqueofaunísticos y que contemplan, entre otros aspectos, la determinación de las variables taxonómicas y anatómicas de las diferentes especies representadas, tafonomía, termoalteraciones, análisis osteométricos y cálculo de perfiles etarios.
