Problems and Methods in Zooarchaeology for the Andes

This course is designed for students either planning a field program or approaching an existing zooarchaeology collection from the Andes. The basic research questions in zooarchaeology will be related to field practices of sampling, recovery, and conservation. Students will practice the major tasks of sorting, identification, and data recording using hands-on material. Since metric analysis of long bones is so important in this region, standards, models, and limitations will be covered. Surface modification and histology will be used to reconstruct taphonomic pathways and life history variables. Sampling and interpretation of molecular zooarchaeology data (aDNA and isotopes) will be discussed and sampling protocols demonstrated.

In so doing we introduce a technique for dietary reconstruction that determines the range of diets compatible with bone-chemistry data from a particular population. The data are derived from samples of modern and archaeological plants and animals collected from the area surrounding Pecos Pueblo, and from archaeological humans recovered from Pecos itself. Bone-strontium concentrations were measured to monitor the relative proportions of meat to vegetables in the diet. Carbon and nitrogen stable-isotope ratios in food items and in bone collagen were measured to monitor the dependence on maize and bison meat. The results do not provide support for the hypothesis that bison replaced mule deer in the diet during the period of significant Plai...

Nuestras excavaciones en la boca de la cueva de Panaulauca y en su talud, han demostrado una larga ocupacion, comenzando significativamente antes de 7000 A. N. E., y siguiendo quizas hasta tiempos historicos. Se recuperaron datos muy extensos de la industria litica y restos de fauna y flora que se usaron para definir los cambios economicos y sociales a traves de tiempo. Las Jases del Preceramico Temprano tienen evidencia de camelidos con un patron de uso que crece a traves del tiempo, especialmente la vicuna, dentro de un patron de asentamiento que en principio muestra evidencia de cierta movilidad estacional que enJatiza la epoca de Iluvias para Panaulauca. En contraste, llegando al Preceramico Medio y Tardfo se reconocen una ocupacion del sitio a traves de todo el ano y un creciente sedentarismo. La evidencia para una vida principalmetlte basada en el pastoreo en Panaulauca no viene sino hasta el Formativo, aunque siempre se tiene que tener en cuenta que tales cuevas no Jueron los centros de ocupacion en tiempos post-preceramicos.
