Abstract

Analysis of a large animal bone assemblage from the Formative archaeological site of Challuabamba in Ecuador’s southern highlands provides additional evidence for the existence of local and extra-local trade connections during the second millennium B.C. Previous archaeological research has established that Formative occupants of this highland region accessed various maritime and terrestrial routes for the long-distance exchange of exotic goods with different highland and lowland areas throughout the Andes. The Formative zooarchaeological record at Challuabamba clearly implicates the provisioning of select high yield body portions of deer and the importation of exotic taxa, or parts thereof most likely from lowland sources directly to the west. Taphonomic analyses and zooarchaeological identification of the Challuabamba assemblage offer additional corroborating evidence for the early operation of prehispanic trade systems in the Northern Andes.

Recientes análisis zooarqueológicos de muestras procedentes del sitio Challuabamba, ubicado en las tierras altas del sur de Ecuador, han permitido identificar evidencias adicionales sobre la existencia de un sistema de intercambio local y a larga distancia entre grupos Formativos durante el segundo milenio A.C. Investigaciones previas ya habían establecido la presencia de una red de intercambio entre grupos de las sierras y las tierras bajas durante el Período Formativo, utilizando rutas terrestres y marítimas para el comercio de bienes exóticos a larga distancia a lo largo de los Andes. La colección de restos óseos de animales recuperada del sitio formativo de Challuabamba indica que las partes de esqueletos de venado preservadas incluyen aquellas que contenían las mejores porciones de carne. Asimismo, muestra la presencia de animales foráneos, particularmente especimenes que quizás provenían de las tierras bajas del oeste de los Andes. Los análisis tafonómicos y las identificaciones zooarqueológicas de Challuabamba ofrecen una evidencia adicional que corrobora otros estudios que indican la presencia de un sistema temprano de trueque y/o intercambio prehispánico en los Andes septentrionales.
