The results of the zooarchaeological and taphonomical analysis of the materials recovered at the upper levels from Cueva Los Carneros are presented. The archaeofaunal record is shaped by a diversity of taxa that represent the mosaic of microenvironments around the site. In effect, CLC corresponds to a locality characterized by diversified hunt, in which the species with major frequency of capture and consumption correspond to several rodents, Lama guanicoe, Zaedyus pichiy, Rhea pennata, Hippocamelus bisulcus and birds, among others. These are joined by many taxa (like rodents and lizards) that were deposited by natural and antrophic agents integral to the dynamics of all rock shelters. Although archaeofaunal data do not clearly point to a summertime occupation, whereas the frequency of gunanacos, huemules and other taxa suggest hunting activities geared towards greasemedulla consumption and the transport of ther anatomical units within a patterned mobility strategy.Se presentan los resultados del análisis zooarqueológico y tafonómico de los niveles superiores del sitio Cueva Los Carneros (CLC). El registro arqueofaunístico está conformado por una diversidad de taxa que representan el mosaico de microambientes asociados al sitio. En efecto, CLC corresponde a una localidad caracterizada por la caza diversificada, en la cual las especies con mayor frecuencia de captura y consumo corresponden a variados roedores, Lama guanicoe, Zaedyus pichiy, Rhea pennata, Hippocamelus bisulcus, aves, entre otros, los que se unen a otros taxa (como roedores y lagartijas) depositados mediante causas naturales y antrópicas dentro de una dinámica esperable para refugios rocosos. Las evidencias arqueofaunísticas no permiten plantear con certeza un uso estival, mientras que la frecuencia de restos de guanacos, huemules y otros taxa sugieren explotaciones orientadas al consumo de grasas-médulas y un traslado de otras unidades dentro una lógica de movilidad pautada.
