Resumen
Hasta recientemente la investigación zooarqueológica del centro occidente de Argentina se focalizó en la importancia de los mamíferos grandes, principalmente camélidos. Existe relativamente abundante información etnohistórica que ilustra la importancia de la explotación de peces en las lagunas de Guanacache para momentos históricos. Sin embargo -salvo contadas excepciones- el registro zooarqueológico ha sido poco explorado en relación a este tema, a pesar de encontrarse abundantes restos de peces en distintos sectores de la planicie. En este trabajo se analizan los datos obtenidos a partir de los restos de peces recuperados en el sitio Altos de Melién II, sector I (Guanacache) y se los compara con aquellos provenientes de otros conjuntos arqueológicos recuperados en contextos cercanos, con el objetivo de avanzar sobre el conocimiento del consumo de peces en esta zona del NE de Mendoza, atendiendo especialmente a los potenciales procesos de formación que inciden en este tipo de conjuntos. El registro ictioarqueológico en AM II presenta un predominio de restos pertenecientes a perca criolla (Percichthys trucha), aunque se han identificado también especimenes de pejerrey patagónico (Odontesthes hatcheri). Analizando la representación de los segmentos corporales y otros indicadores, se sugiere que el registro es producto principalmente del descarte de aquellas partes no consumibles para un aprovechamiento ligado a la subsistencia.
Zooarchaeological research from central western Argentina has focused until recently on the relevance of large mammals, camelids in particular. t here exists relatively abundant ethnohistorical information that illustrates the importance of fish exploitation in the Guanacache lagoons during historical times. However, –with a few exceptions– the zooarchaeological record has been poorly explored in relation to this issue, even though a large number of fish remains are found on different areas of the plains. t his work deals with the data obtained from fish remains recovered at Altos de Melien II, sector I (Guanacache) and compares them with those from other archaeological assemblages recovered from nearby contexts. It aims to improve our knowledge about fish consumption in this area of north-eastern Mendoza, with special attention to potential formation processes involved in this kind of assemblages. t he ichthyoarchaeological record from AM II is dominated by the creole perch (Percichthys trucha), even though from specimens the patagonian pejerrey (Odontesthes hatcheri) have been also identified. Body part representation and other indicators have been analysed. It is suggested that the assemblage reflects primarily the waste products of subsistence exploitation.
