The El Alto-Ancasti mountains in the eastern sector of the province of Cajamar- ca (Argentina), features a varied landscape along with a varied presence of faunal resources. The traditional view has been to consider these populations as camelids herders, though recent researches evidenced long-term rural occupations with a strong commitment with the local environment and its resources. This work discusses the results from a faunal analysis carried out on the VII-IX AD occupations at El Taco 19 (ET19). This sites features an abundance of domesticated camelids along with wild species, thus implying different exploitation strategies. This study allowed us to reconstruct a history where animals played important roles, both as economic resources and crucial elements of the social relationships. Herding and hunting thus emerge as central practices to understand the links established between animals and people present in the highlands of El Alto-Ancasti
