Explotación de avifauna en el sitio Cueva del Negro (Costa Norte de Santa Cruz)

J. Marcelo Beretta,
Miguel A. Zubimendi

Abstract: El registro arqueofaunístico del sitio Cueva del Negro (ubicado en la Costa Norte de Santa Cruz) indica que se trata de un antiguo asentamiento de cazadores-recolectores datado en el Holoceno tardío. Se destaca la alta presencia de especímenes óseos de aves con amplio predominio de especies marinas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el papel que jugaron las aves en la subsistencia de los antiguos moradores de lacueva. Para su consecución, se realizaron determinaciones anatómicas y taxonómicas de los rest… Show more

“…Faunal remains found in archeological sites offer extensive information regarding the composition, biogeography, and abundance of animals that lived in the past (Braje and Rick, 2011;Erlandson et al, 2015;Rick et al, 2009Rick et al, , 2011. Late Holocene archeological sites along the north coast of Santa Cruz contain bone remains of fur seals, sea lions and elephant seals (Beretta et al, 2011;Bogan et al, 2007;Castro et al, 2004;Moreno, 2008;Zubimendi et al, 2011). One site stands out due to the remarkable abundance of pinniped bone remains in comparison with other resources.…”

“…One site stands out due to the remarkable abundance of pinniped bone remains in comparison with other resources. At the Cueva Del Negro site, fur seals were found to be more abundant than sea lions, as indicated by measures of taxonomic abundance such as the number of identified specimens (NISP) and the minimum number of individuals (MNI) (Beretta et al, 2011). This finding is interesting because, assuming that humans would have hunted/ scavenged prehistoric pinnipeds in direct proportion to their natural abundance (Rick et al, 2011), it suggests that Late Holocene fur seals were more abundant than contemporary sea lions; a pattern that contrasts with the modern abundance of these otariids in the region.…”
