Resumen:
This paper discusses the ongoing ethnoarchaeological research carried out in Yamanashell middens of Tierra del Fuego. Ethnoarchaeology is used in this research as a toolto improve the archaeological methodology by testing it against anthropological,ethnographical and ethnological sources for achieving more accurate reconstructionsof past societies. The ethnographical/ethnological information also is coupled with anexperimental approach devised to understand physical and social processes, such assite formation processes and resource use and management. Specifically, thisexperimental approach was applied to the archaeological sites Túnel VII andLanashuaia I (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina).
