Resumen:
Camelids, mostly guanacos (Lama guanicoe) are the more prominent big sized herbivorous in South America and one of the most significant resource in human diet during pre-industrial time. The study of camelids isotopic diet is significant for different aspects. First, because it was a common resource for past human populations in south America; second, its high abundance during the Holocene make this specie a useful proxy for paleoecologicalreconstruction. Finally, isotopic information in this specie is useful for conservation biology as camelid are being displaced by human activities during the last century, today technical decision are been develop to protect and manage this species but lacking the general information about camelids strategies and its niche. All of this aspects can be considered based on stable isotope signal from bone collagen.
