%X this paper presents the results of a taphonomic analysis of the site gnlq1 (32 ¡ã s - 71¡ã w chile) discovered at 13 m of depth below sea level. the site can be characterized as a primary context, conformed by diverse remains of extinct continental fauna (families camelidae, cervidae, cricetidae, artiodactyla, equidae, mylodontidae, canidae and the xenarthra order) recovered in concentrations arranged on a stratigraphic unit also assigned to the late pleistocene. we deal with taxonomic determination, skeletal units' representations, and surface modifications of the material. we aim to understand paleo-ecological conditions and identify taphonomic factors in terrestrial and sub aquatic contexts.
