- Abstract
To the Colombian Caribbean Zooarqueology, as for other regions of the continent, the primary sources of the colonial period are one of the main resources of support to rebuild in a perspective of long range, the relations between humans and wildlife. This, because they contain information that can be compared with the data provided by the archaeological faunal samples from different periods in a given geographical region. However, it is well known that the use of these sources entails a number of interpretation problems, which vary according to the time, regions and individual writers. In this article, taking as an example the family Tayassuidae (peccaries) the potentialities and limitations of the use of these sources are discussed for the specific case of the Colombian Caribbean.
