| Sumario: | In this paper we present the results of archaeofaunal remains analysis from both vertebrates and invertebrates, recovered from the Laguna del Telégrafo site, located in the Cabo Blanco archaeological area (North coast of Santa Cruz, Argentine Patagonia). This site is situated on the edge of an ancient tidal plain, which exists today as a seasonal lagoon. The site is a small shell midden dating to c. 2300 BP. A 2 m2 test-pit was excavated revealing a dense subsurface lens of shells from which a great quantity of faunal (bone and malacological), lithic and anthracological remains were recovered, including a leather knot. Here we analyze and discuss the possible function of the site as well as the formational characteristics of the archaeological deposit. |
