This paper discusses practices related to the consumption and disposal of faunal remains in village societies, groups and communities in the first millennium AD (Castro Barros, La Rioja, Argentina). It draws on an analysis of four zooarchaeological assemblages from El Chañarcito and Los Cardones de Aminga sites, where occupation dates back to the period between 660 and 900 AD. These sites were chosen because areas dedicated to the disposal of faunal remains have been identified at both. The zooarchaeological analysis corroborated differences in assemblages recovered from residential areas and those obtained from platforms or middens. Since disposal practices occur within specific cultural contexts where certain shared norms regarding order and cleanliness prevail, it also identified different ideas concerning the integration of platforms and middens into the public sphere. The results provide new evidence on waste management and how middens integrated with community life by transforming into heaps or platforms
