Discriminación de taxones de aves a través del análisis comparativo de la microestructura de plumas: una aplicación en el sitio tulán 122, Puna de Atacama, Chile

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Results of analysis from feathers recovered in the Early Formative (ca. 2700 B.P.) Tulán-122 site are presented. The site is located in Quebrada Tulán on the eastern slope of the Puna de Atacama. Macroscopic features (coloration and size) of taxidermic and zoorachaeological samples were compared. A protocol for the preparation of feather barbules was performed and the nodes were studied by using amplification (1400X). The genus Sicalis (Boie 1828) was identified. Results of the feather and bones are compared in order to discuss the taphonomic variables and interpretation of the use of birs in the site.
