Resumo: | The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Mammalia: Rodentia), found at the archaeological site SC PRV 02, Santa Catarina Island, Brasil. Santa Catarina Island possesses dozens of archeological sites where the skeletal remains of a great array of animals can be found. The goal of this study was to quantify the skeletal remains of capybaras found at the archeological site SC PRV 02 (1067 to 1735 BP), located in the northern part of the island, along the shores of Lagoa da Conceição, a saltwater lagoon. Thirty-seven skeletal fragments of at least 12 different individuals were identified. The anatomic regions of the capybaras most sought-after by pre-colonial inhabitants were the anterior and posterior limbs. About 40% of the skeletal fragments did not show any epiphyseal fusion with the shaft. Approximately 48% of the fragments found presented evidence of human activity. Our analyses suggest that capybaras played an important role in the diet of these inhabitants and that they were also used for the confection of different functional goods. We diagnosed the manipulation techniques used to obtain these goods, such as percussion and transversal section. The evidence of carbonization and superficial incisions indicates dismembering, preparation, and consumption of capybaras for feeding. Similar techniques were found at other archeological sites of the same age, suggesting that even though pre-colonial inhabitants of the island were considered to be fishermen, capybaras represented a well-appreciated resource. |

O trabalho diagnostica e quantifica restos ósseos de capivaras extraídos do Sítio Arqueológico SC PRV 02 (1067 a 1735 A.P.), localizado na porção norte da Ilha de Santa Catarina nas margens da Lagoa da Conceição. Identificaram-se 37 peças, de pelo menos 12 indivíduos. A região anatômica das capivaras mais visada pelos habitantes pré-coloniais corresponde aos membros anteriores e posteriores, com cerca de 40% das peças não apresentando fusão das epífises à diáfise. Aproximadamente 48% dos ossos apresentaram evidências ou registro de atividade humana. As análises sugerem que as capivaras teriam importante papel na dieta daqueles habitantes, assim como seriam utilizadas como matérias-primas para confecção de diversos artefatos funcionais. Para a confecção desses artefatos foram diagnosticadas técnicas de manipulação como percussão e secções transversais. As evidências de carbonização e cortes superficiais indicam desmembramento, preparação e consumo de capivaras na alimentação. Entre os sítios arqueológicos de mesma época, constata-se que as mesmas técnicas foram empregadas, sugerindo que as capivaras seriam um recurso apreciado, apesar de os grupos humanos pré-coloniais da Ilha serem considerados pescadores.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2005-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21445Biotemas; v. 18 n. 2 (2005); 203-2182175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/21445/19387Copyright (c) 2005 Pedro Volkmer de Castilho, Paulo César Simões-Lopeshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCastilho, Pedro Volkmer deSimões-Lopes, Paulo César2022-11-21T11:31:22Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/21445Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2022-11-21T11:31:22Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
