Chaetophractus Vellerosus Gray 1865 (Xenarthra, Dasypodidae) en un cementerio de Túmulos de la desembocadura del río Loa (región de Antofagasta, Chile): evidencias de conexiones con el altiplano andino durante el período Formativo Tardío (500 AC – 800 DC)

Se presenta una detallada descripción de los osteodermos de armadillos recuperados en el cementerio Caleta Huelén 20 (Formativo Tardío), emplazado al sur de la desembocadura del río Loa. A partir de los atributos morfológicos y métricos de las placas móviles de la muestra, los materiales son asignados a Chaetophractus vellerosus. Su presencia en el sitio, fuera de su rango de distribución actual, debe ser entendida dentro de una extensa red de intercambios y movilidad que conectó el sector costero y la puna andina, la que se expresa con intensidad durante el período Formativo.
Abstract
In this paper, we present a detailed description of armadillo osteoderms recovered in the Caleta Huelén 20 cemetery (Late Formative), located at the mouth of Loa river. Based on studies of morphological and metric attributes of the carapace mobile bands, the materials are assigned to Chaetophractus vellerosus. Its presence at the site, beyond its present day distribution, must be understood within an extensive network of exchange and mobility that connected the coastal area and the Andean Puna, which intensified during the Formative period.
