Type: article
Abstract: Osteometric analysis results of the bone assemblages from the sites located in Valle de Mauro (MAU033, MAU085, MAU062, MAU065, MAU083, MAU091, MAU064, MAU092, MAU067 and MAU094), Semiarid North, Chile are presented. The sites cover an occupational sequence from the Late Archaic to the Late Period. The late introduction of domestic taxa (llama) during the Diaguita-Inka period is re-evaluated. Results show the presence of big sized camelids, even bigger in size than modern guanacos used as reference during the Late archaic. For the later period two taxa, llama and guanaco, are represented. Although, high osteometric variability along the sequence difficults a more accurate interpretation, an early control of domestic camelids is suggested.
