Resumen:
The aim of the present study was to examine the parasite fauna present in rodent coprolites collected from Cueva Huenul 1 (CH1), northern Neuquén (Patagonia, Argentina), an archaeological site that provides stratified sequences of archaeological and paleontological remains from the Late Pleistocene / Early Holocene Transition to the Late Holocene period. Twenty rodent coprolites collected from different sedimentary units from the site, with ages ranging from 13,844 ± 75 yr B.P. to 1,416 ± 37 yr B.P., were examined for parasites.
