The archaeofaunal analysis from three archaeological sites (Mischiuen I, Shamakush I and Imiwaia I) are presented; these sites span from 5900 to 150 years BP. Firstly, the evidence of changes in birds species selection and its relation to diversity and availability is discussed in a temporal perspective throughout the entire archaeological sequence. Subsequently, contrasts between the exploitation of distinct bird taxa and its relation to the use of mammal and fish resources are documented.Previous researches have shown that shags and penguins had been the most frequently consumed species (Mameli and Estévez Escalera 2004, Piana and Canale 1992, Orquera and Piana 1999a, Piana et al. 2007). Nevertheless, the representation of those taxa was variable along time; meanwhile, other taxa (e.g. procellariiformes) seem to have had more importance in later times. In sum, it is argued here that, beyond the taxa selected, birds have been a systematic nutritional intake in the prehistoric subsistence organization of the southernmost sea nomads of the Beagle Channel region.
