Resumo:This dissertation had as objective to analyze the hunting contexts of marine mammals occurred during the first human occupations in Antarctica, at the early 19th century. For this it was used concepts from Symmetrical Anthropology and Archaeology, considering that not only people had an active role in the history of these activities. Considering that marine mammals and objects also acted in this context, it was sought to show how these actors related during the period they shared in Antarcticas environment. To do this, data was searched through analysis files, which helped to characterize each one of the actors, helping to think how they interacted, made exchanges and transformed each other. Through the data obtained with written sources and archaeological vestiges, it was possible to see how people, marine mammals and objects related and constructed mutually the history which so many times is narrated only as the arrival of the human being at Antarctica. The importance and efficiency of the techniques used in the context are clear and when we observe that we can find them nowadays in some parts of the world.
