Resumen
El sitio Laguna Las Vegas posee una alta integridad y resolución. Es un registro penecontemporáneo formado alrededor de 3050-3210 años AP que se destaca por la alta frecuencia de restos de guanaco (Lama guanicoe) y, en menor magnitud, de cauquén (Chloephaga sp.), acompañados principalmente por machacadores óseos y raspadores de calcedonia. Se postula que el sitio es el resultado del descarte en un campamento formado atricionalmente y en un corto lapso, al que habrían ingresado presas enteras (guanacos) para su procesamiento, consumo y ulterior transporte del esqueleto axial. La presencia de restos de cauquén indica que las ocupaciones humanas habrían tenido lugar, al menos, durante los meses de primavera y verano. Todas estas características lo definen como un sitio novedoso que añade valiosa información sobre el manejo de recursos faunísticos y la movilidad de poblaciones cazadoras-recolectoras en la cuenca media del río Coyle.
Laguna Las Vegas is a high integrity and high resolution site. It is a penecontemporaneous record that was formed around 3050-3210 BP which is remarkable due to the high frequency of guanaco bones (Lama guanicoe) and, to a lesser extent, of cauquén remains (Chloephaga sp.). Additionally, a high frequency of bone pounders and chalcedony scrapers was recorded. We propose that this site was a campsite originated by an attritionally discard behavior within a short time frame, in which whole preys (guanacos) were taken for processing, consumption, and subsequent transport of their axial skeleton. The fact that cauquén remains were found suggests that human occupations took place, at least, during spring and summer. Due to these features, Laguna Las Vegas stands out as a valuable site, one which adds useful information about faunal resource management and mobility of the hunter-gatherer populations of the Coyle River middle basin.
