Technological Organization in Hunting/Scavenging and Butchering Sites of Megamammals in the Pampa Grasslands (Argentina) by Messineo, Pablo Geronimo

“…The objectives of this research were to evaluate different modes of lithic acquisition, use, and disposal at three single-component open-air sites associated with the hunting/scavenging and butchering of megamammal species, and to discuss strategies applied in human mobility in the Pampa grasslands of Argentina during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. …”

Lithic Technology at Campo Laborde, an Early-Holocene Megamammal Hunting Site in the Pampean Region (Argentina) by Messineo, Pablo Geronimo

“…Kill/scavenge sites of megamammals in different parts of the world have provided extensive information on subsistence strategies, hunting techniques and technologies used. These kinds of sites often contain the remains of one or a few animals associated with small artifacts. …”

Human Predation and Natural History of Huemul (Cervidae; Hippocamelus bisulcus Molina) in Patagonia: A Zooarchaeological Analysis by Fernández, Pablo Marcelo, Cruz, Isabel, Belardi, Juan Bautista, de Nigris, Mariana Eleonor, Muñoz, Andres Sebastian

“…The few assemblages where there are a high number of huemul bones would have been the result of opportunistic hunting episodes. This in turn suggests that hunting of huemul had little or no influence on the animal's regional distribution over time. …”

Campo Laborde: A Late Pleistocene giant ground sloth kill and butchering site in the Pampas by Politis, Gustavo Gabriel, Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Stafford, Thomas W., Lindsey, Emily L.

“…The new data offer definitive evidence for hunting and butchering of Megatherium americanum (giant ground sloth) at 12,600 cal years BP and dispute previous interpretations that Pleistocene megamammals survived into the Holocene in the Pampas.…”

Paleoenvironments and faunal extinctions: Analysis of the archaeological assemblages at the Paso Otero locality (Argentina) during the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene by Martinez, Gustavo Adolfo, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Tonni, Eduardo Pedro

“…It is suggested that not only hunting pressure but the mere presence of humans was a factor in ecosystem disturbance and is the most parsimonious explanation for the process of extinction.…”

Guanaco bone piles from the Pampas region (Argentina) and their implications for hunter-gatherer subsistence by Alvarez, María Clara, Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel

“…Their presence could be the result of cooperative hunting and the premature abandonment of the base camp because of unpredictable situations or mobility decisions.…”

NAT2 gene diversity and its evolutionary trajectory in the Americas by Bisso Machado, R., Ramallo, Virginia, Paixão Côrtes, V. R., Acuña Alonzo, V., Demarchi, Dario, Sandoval, J. R. S., Granara, A. A. S., Salzano, F. M., Hünemeier, T., Bortolini, M. C.

“…No significant differences in the acetylator NAT2 haplotype and phenotype distributions were found between Native American populations practicing farming and/or herding and those practicing hunting and gathering, probably because of the absence or weakness of selection pressures and presence of demographic and random processes preventing detection of any selection signal.…”

Spatial and temporal taphonomic study of bone accumulations of the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) in central Argentina by Montalvo, Claudia I., Fernández, Fernando Julián, Tomassini, Rodrigo Leandro, Mignino, Julian, Kin, Marta Susana, Santillán, Miguel Ángel

“…Athene cunicularia is a very common opportunistic raptor inhabiting diverse environments of South America. It has variable hunting behavior and diet habits, feeding mostly on arthropods and nocturnal and diurnal micromammals. …”

Technology, subsistence, and mobility of Middle to Late Holocene hunter-gatherers in the southern Pampas: new archaeological data from Las Toscas shallow lake (Argentina) by Massigoge, Agustina, Rafuse, Daniel Joseph, Rodriguez, Juan Manuel, Torino, Rocio Florencia, Favier Dubois, Cristian Mario

“…Archaeological evidence indicates that procurement, domestic, and ritual activities were conducted around the shallow lake during the Middle and Late Holocene, including hunting of terrestrial game; tool manufacture and repair; storing and use of mineral pigments; and likely human burial practices. …”

Isotopic insight on paleodiet of extinct Pleistocene megafaunal Xenarthrans from Argentina by Bocherens, Hervé, Cotte, Martin, Bonini, Ricardo Adolfo, Straccia, Pablo, Scian, Daniel, Soibelzon, Leopoldo Héctor, Prevosti, Francisco Juan

“…The diet of extinct giant Xenarthrans is a debated topic, especially for ground sloths, for which herbivory, insectivory, and carnivory through scavenging or active hunting have been suggested. In this study, stable carbon isotopic composition of collagen and carbonate fraction of well-preserved fossil bones was used as a tracer of trophic level. > 200 modern mammal bones of species with a variety of diets were used as a reference dataset. …”

Human occupation strategies and related environmental-climate during the middle and late Holocene in central Pampas of Argentina by Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Tonello, Marcela Sandra, Stutz, Silvina Maria, Tripaldi, Alfonsina, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Pal, Nélida Marcela, Sánchez Vuichard, Guillermina, Navarro, Diego

“…Both events present a small amount of lithic materials, a low diversity of tools and activities developed with them (principally hard material), and the hunting and primary processing of artiodactyls. These evidences suggest a locus of specific activity associated with an ephemeral human settlement under climate conditions drier than present and the presence of small, brackish, and shallow water bodies. …”
