This paper analyzes the small vertebrate fauna from the site of Piedras Blancas (Ambato Valley, Catamarca, Argentina) in order to inquire on the role it played in the economy of the local people, as well as its relevance as taphonomic agents in the formation of the site. Piedras Blancas is an open air site located in the depressed sector of the Ambato Valley, which was identified as a single elite residential unit. Based on radiocarbon dates, the period of occupation of the site can be located between 574 and 1225 (1?) AD, during Aguada times. From the anatomical and taxonomic identification of faunal remains and their subsequent quantification, it was possible to confirm the presence of a considerable variety of species, including didelphids, dasypodids, carnivores, rodents of the Cricetidae, Caviidae, Ctenomyidae and Chinchillidae families, birds, amphibians and reptiles. The results allow us to propose that some of these species were incorporated into the site by human activities (in order to consume them and to use their different products), while others went in through taphonomic causes such as the action of predators and eto-ecological factors (including natural deaths, commensalism events and fossorial animals that could modify and eventually become incorporated into the archaeological deposits)
