Los otáridos fueron recursos críticos para muchas sociedades costeras de Sudamérica. Se han propuesto diferentes estrategias para la explotación de esta presa, que parten principalmente de considerar parámetros ecológicos sobre su distribución y comportamiento y que pueden ser examinados según la especie, la edad y el sexo de los especímenes identificados en el registro arqueológico. En este trabajo partimos de estos criterios para analizar la representación de restos de otáridos en conjuntos zooarqueológicos de diferentes espacios del sur de Tierra del Fuego. Los resultados indican que se implementaron estrategias similares de explotación en toda el área, aún donde se presumen condiciones geográficas, culturales y ecológicas diferentes en la relación humano-otárido. A partir de los resultados se examinan algunos aspectos analíticos sobre la identificación zooarqueológica de individuos lactantes y la caracterización de la forma de explotación de esta presa según el tipo de apostadero y su distribución en el ambiente actual.
Otarids were critical resources for many coastal societies in South America. Exploitation strategies have been proposed mainly based on the distribution and behavior of this prey, which in turn can be examined according to species, age, and sex of the identified specimens in the archaeological record. In this paper, we start from these criteria to analyze the representation of otarid remains in zooarchaeological assemblages in different areas of the southern of Tierra del Fuego. The results indicate that similar exploitation strategies were implemented throughout the area, even where different geographical, cultural, and ecological conditions can be assumed in the human-otarid relation. Based on the results, we examine some analytical aspects of the zooarchaeological identification of nursling individuals and the characterization of the exploitation of this prey according to the type of colony and its distribution in the current environment.
