Shy guanacos, trusting huemuls: The western boundary of terrestrial southern hunters-gatherers Guanacos tímidos, huemules confiados: El límite occidental de los cazadores terrestres australes
Abstract
Based on historical records for the pre-Andean zone, the paper examines the role of the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) as prey of choice for Southern Patagonian terrestrial hunter-gatherers. We review archaeological evidence for the consumption of these cervids and also explore whether their behavioural patterns can be considered the result of hunting pressure by human communities of Southern Patagonia.
