- Abstract
In this work an archeofaunistic sample composed of Mammalia specimens from Cueva Maripe Site (Central plateau, Santa Cruz province) is analyzed. These kind of specimens are usually underestimated to carry out taphonomic and zooarchaeological interpretation because they do not offered accurate information. However, recent researches question this idea since information related with assemblages integrity and consumptions patterns could be obtained from them. The aim of this paper is to enquire about the degree of fragmentation of this sample and the agencies and processes involved on it. A high fragmentation index could be identify. Taphonomic and anthropic processes had affected the assemblages in different ways, being marrow consumption the principal cause of fragmentation and humans the more important agent that configures the assemblages.
