Resumen

Estudios recientes sobre acumulaciones y modificaciones óseas por seres humanos y carnívoros han transformado el análisis de perfiles de representación esquelética en una aproximación de limitado valor para la Zooarqueología. La equifinalidad (diferentes procesos generando idénticos resultados) es muy común y conviene este tipo de estudio en un marco referencial muy ambiguo. Métodos más modernos, como el estudio de las modificaciones de la superficie ósea), parecen ser más adecuados para la investigación tafonómica..
