Geographical Information Systems (GIS) has been implemented in archaeological studies for relatively short time. In general these studies are related to the analysis of the space at a territorial level. On the other hand, in the last years the use of this type of systems has been adapted to zooarchaeological analysis changing the analysis scale. Like in other areas the application of this type of technology is scarce, but until the moment it has demonstrated to be efficient in questions related to bone quantification like the calculation of the minimum number of elements (MNE) or cut marks. Advancing in the application of this methodology a new analysis derived from the evaluation of GIS generated images is presented: the GIS fragmentation profile. Yutopián Structure 1 and Loma Alta Nucleus E (southern Calchaquíes valleys, Catamarca, Argentina) adult camelid remains are used as an application example.
