Insect Marks on Bones from La Guillerma Archaeological Locality (Salado River Depression, Buenos Aires, Argentina)

Abstract: The La Guillerma archaeological locality is located in the northeast sector of Buenos Aires province (Argentina). Two of its sites (LG1 and LG5), dated between ca. 1400- and 600-years BP, have a great amount of faunal remains including deer, rodents, fish and small birds that are subjected to taphonomic agents and processes (e.g., weathering, manganese, roots). Previous studies have shown osteophagic behaviour in different insects (e.g., Coleoptera, Blattodea). In this paper, we evaluate their incidence on La … Show more

“…This is notably the case for insect marks on bone remains, for which few studies are available and modern referentials are lacking. Escosteguy et al [17] explored the aspect and measurement of insect marks observed on bone remains from La Guillerma in Argentina (ca. 1400-600 years BP).…”

“…Las investigaciones arqueológicas se han centrado en modificaciones óseas producidas por insectos pertenecientes a los órdenes Isoptera (termitas), Hymenoptera (abejas, avispas y hormigas), Diptera (algunas especies de moscas) y Coleoptera (escarabajos), ya que utilizan los cuerpos como sustrato para alimento o refugio durante las etapas de descomposición cadavérica y dejan marcas reconocibles en los restos óseos (e.g., Martin y West, 1995;Huchet et al, 2011Huchet et al, , 2013Pomi y Tonni 2011;Backwell et al, 2012Backwell et al, , 2020Queiroz et al, 2017;Vanin y Huchet, 2017;Escosteguy et al, 2021).…”

“…Tal como destacamos previamente, cuando analizamos las marcas de insectos en los restos arqueológicos provenientes de la Depresión del río Salado bonaerense (Escosteguy et al, 2021), consideramos que el estudio de las muestras -tanto arqueológicas como actualísticas-con equipamientos con altos aumentos contribuiría a mejorar el análisis y la correcta identificación de las improntas, en particular de trazas aisladas. En el presente estudio, únicamente registramos escasas estrías empleando lentes de 40x.…”
