Abstract
La presente investigación aborda los temas de la alimentación, la dieta y la
comensalidad en el sitio arqueológico Cerro de Oro. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo un
estudio multidisciplinario que responde a tres cuestiones centrales que articulan el
trabajo. La primera es, qué comían en Cerro de Oro. Para responder a esta pregunta, se
han llevado a cabo análisis zooarqueológicos, malacológicos, paleobotánicos y de
microrrestos. La segunda interrogante es cómo era la dieta en Cerro de Oro y, para ello,
se han realizado análisis de isótopos de carbono y nitrógeno. Finalmente, para responder
a la pregunta de cómo se cocinaban los alimentos en Cerro de Oro, se han estudiado
estructuras de cocción de alimentos. Toda esta información nos ha ayudado a
comprender mejor las prácticas diarias y de comensalidad comunal que se articulan en
torno a la obtención, la cocción y el consumo de recursos. El estudio de las
comunidades de práctica que se generan en torno a estas actividades, nos ayuda a definir
las identidades que conforman la heterogénea sociedad que habitó el sitio de Cerro de
Oro.
This research addresses the issues of food, diet, and commensality at the archaeological site of Cerro de Oro. For this purpose, a multidisciplinary study has been carried out to answer three central questions that articulate this research. The first is, what did the people eat at Cerro de Oro. To answer this question, zooarchaeological, malacological, paleobotanical and micro-analysis analyzes have been carried out. The second question is, how was the diet in Cerro de Oro, and for this, we have performed carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis. Finally, to answer the question of how was the food cooked at Cerro de Oro, we have studied food cooking structures. All this information helps us to better understand the daily practices and communal commensality that are articulated around the procurement, cooking, and consumption of resources. The study of the communities of practice, which are generated around these activities, helps us to define the identities that shape the heterogeneous society that inhabited Cerro de Oro.
