Resumen:
One male of Amblyomma parvitarsum and one male and a female of Ornithodoros sp. were recovered
from archaeological layers of the Middle Holocene in a rock shelter in the province of Catamarca, used
by hunter-gatherer groups. Another two ticks identified as a female and a nymph of Argas cf. neghmei

A. neghmei, a tick that has been found in the nests of birds, chicken houses, but also in human dwellings.
The presence of A. cf. neghmei may originate from birds naturally breeding in the shelter or from the nests
of birds introduced into the shelter by humans.
