“…Moreover, the taxonomic analysis of carbonized and non-carbonized wood from both archeological sites enabled determinations to the species level. These results allowed to broaden the level of resolution in the identification of taxa obtained by the pallinological works carried out up to the present in the study area (Mancini, 2007, 2009; Velázquez et al, 2014; Velázquez et al, 2010).…”

Use of fire has been recognized for a long time as a key innovation in the development of human groups, as a multisource technological improvement. Fuel wastes recovered from archeological sites are the direct evidence of the fire use in society economies of the past. In the process of production and use of fire, diverse parameters exist that intervene and influence in its development. In order to obtain data relative to vegetal composition from early to late Holocene and its exploitation by societies characterized by high residential mobility, we carried on an charcoal and wood analysis in archeological sites Cerro Casa de Piedra 7 (10,690 ± 120-3400 BP) and Cerro Casa de Piedra 5 (6780 ± 110-2805 ± 105 BP) (province of Santa Cruz, Argentina). The results obtained evidence a drastic reduction of taxa used as fuel among occupations corresponding to early Holocene and late Holocene. Throughout all the levels we verified the intense use of tree species for combustion, while bushes were also collected but in much lower overall percentages. Nothofagus pumilio is the species with the highest representation. These results allowed to identify acting modes that refer to acquisition strategies of woody material oriented toward on the collection of great caliber wood.

“…The analysis of coprolites allows for the study of paleodiets, paleoenvironment, parasitism, and site use seasonality (Reinhard and Bryant, 1992;Carri on et al, 2001Carri on et al, , 2004Carri on et al, , 2005Horrocks et al, 2003Horrocks et al, , 2008Chaves and Reinhard, 2006;Riley, 2012;Wood et al, 2012;among others). Studies on pollen grains and plant remains of both camelids and presumed human coprolites found in Parque Nacional Perito Moreno (Argentine Patagonia) have offered information on their main diet items during the Holocene, and also on the site use seasonality and the environmental characteristics (Vel azquez et al, 2010;Martínez Tosto and Yagueddú, 2012;Vel azquez and Burry, 2012;Vel azquez et al, 2014).…”

Camelids (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos) are important for the economy of South America and Eimeria infections are important as cause of mortality in camelids. Of the five most prevalent species of Eimeria in South American camelids, Eimeria macusaniensis, Eimeria lamae, Eimeria alpacae, Eimeria punoensis, and Eimeria ivitaensis, E. macusaniensis is considered the most pathogenic. There is considerable confusion concerning the endogenous developmental stages of Eimeria spp. in camelids. Many papers on camelid coccidiosis were published in local Peruvian journals, not easily accessible to wider audience. The objective of the present paper is to summarize information on history, validity of Eimeria species, life cycle, pathogenicity, prevalence, epidemiology, diagnosis, and control of coccidiosis in camelids.
