Diversity of birds and mammals uses on the Atacama desert coast, northern Chile (20°S): a case study of the Middle Holocene
The exceptional preservation conditions of the archaeological record along the coast of the Atacama Desert (Northern Chile) allow detailed analyses of the differential utilization of fauna by specialized hunter-gatherer-fisher societies. This paper presents the zooarchaeological study of the site PQB2_CON_002_SA, dated to the Middle Holocene (6772 ± 35 to 5962 ± 32 14C years BP). The objectives are to characterize the capture and processing practices of mammals and birds, determine their uses for technological purposes and as food sources, and establish changes or continuities in the roles of these taxa at sites in the region. The results indicate that cormorants and pelicans were predominantly captured and used for food and technology. The otariids were used for raw materials procurement such as bones, hides, and internal organs, which were employed as containers, in addition to their nutritional use, in an environment where camelids were a very marginal resource.
期刊介绍:
Quaternary International is the official journal of the International Union for Quaternary Research. The objectives are to publish a high quality scientific journal under the auspices of the premier Quaternary association that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of INQUA and records recent advances in Quaternary science that appeal to a wide audience.
This series will encompass all the full spectrum of the physical and natural sciences that are commonly employed in solving Quaternary problems. The policy is to publish peer refereed collected research papers from symposia, workshops and meetings sponsored by INQUA. In addition, other organizations may request publication of their collected works pertaining to the Quaternary.
