Abstract
The present study addresses the excavation and faunal and lithic analysis of one small rock shelter with rock paintings on an Andean valley in South-Central Patagonia. Although the zooarchaeological context is largely concordant with summer hunting forays, the preparation and use of diverse lithic artefacts suggests other activities were performed at the site, besides its use as a hunting stand. A 2720±25 BP radiocarbon date at the base indicates also that this area was occupied earlier and perhaps more regularly than previously thought. Although the relationship with the eastern plains is confirmed, we observe also the use of local raw materials.

MAGALLANIA (Antigua serie Ciencias Humanas de Anales del Instituto de la Patagonia) the formerly called Social Science series of the Anales del Instituto de la Patagonia, Universidad de Magallanes, has regularly published one volume yearly since 1970 and a volume with two numbers since 2005. Its main purpose is to publish original and unpublished work preferentially done by Universidad de Magallanes researchers, and associated academics (faculty) from other national and international institutions, in the Social Sciences and Humanities and on topics referred to Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, Antarctic and adjoining islands, and the South-eastern Pacific.
