Resumen:
Paleoenvironmental studies in northwestern Patagonia are mostly focused on forest and ecotone forest-steppe areas. The obtained data indicates dry and cold conditions for the late Pleistocene-Holocene transition. For the steppic and hilly ranges east of the Andes in northern Neuquén province there are no studied paleoclimatic records, despite the potential interest of this region that involves the highest elevations in Patagonia (Domuyo system), and is emplaced near the western limit of the South American Arid Diagonal. Recent excavations in Cueva Huenul 1 retrieved a rich sequence spanning the late Pleistocene-early Holocene, and reaching the late Holocene. In this note we briefly address the taphonomy and paleoenvironmental significance of the micromammal remains obtained in CH1.
