Sumario:Zooarchaeology referring to hunter-gatherers of Patagonia has emphasized the economic approaches of prey, hindering the social and symbolic approaches of animals with an archaeological record. Theconsideration of other perceptions and intentions about animals have not been explored yet. For this reason and thinking of the great interpretative potential from a hermeneutic perspective, in this paper we inquired about the archaeological landscapes of Patagonia that allow us to study the different ways in which animals had social and symbolic agency together with humans. To do this, we propose to describe those systems where animals and other things such as rivers, lakesand hills, act as sensitive and independent agents and are socially constituted, through performative interaction. In this way, and with the concurrence of different lines of research (taphonomy, spatial distributions, rock art, ethnography, among many others), we find that a pile of bones should not always be interpreted as the last supper (sensu Todd, 1987), but also be seen as the result of the different and varied relationships and attitudes between humans andanimals in the past. For this, we consider a series of sites with human occupations from the final Pleistocene in the Patagonian plateaus.
