Early occupations archaeofauna at Cueva Traful I, Neuquén province, Argentina

The early occupation of northwestern Argentinean Patagonia dates of ca. 10.000 AP., but little is known of the subsistence of the first hunters and gatherers and the seasonality of their occupations. The analysis of the remains deposited in cave Traful I during the early Holocene can give us some an...

The analysis of the remains deposited in cave Traful I during the early Holocene can give us some answers. Therefore, we studied the structure of the assemblages from a taphonomic perspective in order to determine which were the main agents and processes that formed them. The initial occupations were ephemeral and the fauna is composed mainly of small game, fish, and scarce remains of Artiodactyla. The faunal assemblages of Component I (unit Traful) include, besides Lama guanicoe, two types of foxes, birds, rodents, and mollusks. The sequence indicates that small game was more important at the beginning and that subsequently, the guanaco gained importance. The absence of this ungulate could be due to the presence of the forest near the cave. La ocupación temprana del noroeste de la Patagonia Argentina data de ca. 10.000 AP, pero poco se co­noce de la subsistencia de los primeros cazadores recolectores. El análisis de los restos óseos depositados en cueva Traful I durante el Holoceno temprano puede darnos algunas respuestas. Por lo tanto, estudiare­mos la estructura de los conjuntos desde una perspectiva tafonómica para poder determinar cuáles fueron los principales agentes y procesos que los formaron las ocupaciones iniciales y el Componente I - Traful. Las ocupaciones iniciales fueron efímeras y la fauna se compone principalmente de caza menor, pescado y escasos restos de Artiodactyla. El conjunto faunístico del Componente I (unidad Traful) incluye, además de Lama guanicoe, dos tipos de zorros, pájaros, roedores y moluscos. La secuencia estudiada indica que la caza menor fue más importante al principio y que posteriormente el guanaco cobró importancia. La ausencia de este ungulado podría deberse a la presencia del bosque en las inmediaciones de la cueva.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1842 10.34096/arqueologia.t17.n0.1842 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1842/1725 Arqueología; Vol. 17 (2011); 161-194 Arqueología; Vol. 17 (2011); 161-194 1853-8126 0327-5159 Patagonia Early Holocene subsistence guanaco small game hunting Patagonia Holoceno temprano subsistencia guanaco caza menor Early occupations archaeofauna at Cueva Traful I, Neuquén province, Argentina Arqueofauna de las ocupaciones tempranas de Cueva Traful I, Provincia del Neuquén, Argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1842_oai
