A partir de un análisis zooarqueológico se discute la posibilidad de detectar diferencias en las opciones dietarias de dos segmentos de la población, casados y solteros, del asentamiento minero histórico de Capote durante la primera mitad del s. XX. En base a la frecuencia de partes esqueletarias de taxones principalmente domésticos, así como a la abundancia y diversidad de éstos, se demuestra que el grupo casado se alimenta mejor que el grupo soltero, ya que el primero depende de las decisiones domésticas tomadas al interior de su núcleo familiar, mientras que el segundo se acoge a un régimen alimenticio minero tendiente a maximizar los recursos.
Abstract
Based on zooarchaeological analyses, we discuss the possibility of detecting differences in the dietary choices of two population segments, singles and married, at the mining settlement of Capote during the first half of XX Century. Keeping in mind the frequency of skeletal parts of domestic taxa, and their diversity, it is demonstrated that the married are better fed than singles. The former depend on the decisions of their women, while singles were subject to a that is primarily focused to a more restrictive diet that is primarily focused on resource maximization.
