| Summary: | Se presentan los resultados del análisis de huellas de corte en restos óseos de pinnipedos provenientes de dos yacimientos loberos históricos, localizados en cabo Shirreff, isla Livingston, Antartica Chilena. Se describe la ubicación, disposición y características morfológicas de las huellas, con el objeto de establecer los modos de procesamiento llevados a cabo en los yacimientos estudiados. Los resultados indican que los cortes fueron hechos con instrumentos metálicos, en su mayoría orientados a la extracción de la piel, con un procedimiento muy estandarizadoThe paper presents the results of an analysis of cut marks on pinniped bones recovered at two historic age sites located in Cape Shirreff, Livingston Islands, Chilean Antarctica. The location, disposition and morphological characteristics of each mark are described in order to identify butchering patterns employed at the studied sites. The study concludes that the marks were made with a metal tool and generally followed a very standardized procedure geared towards the skinning of animals The results of the analysis of traces of cutting in bone remains of pinnipeds from two historical fire fields, located in Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antartica Chilena, are presented. The location, layout and morphological characteristics of the fingerprints are described in order to establish the processing methods carried out in the studied fields. The results indicate that the cuts were made from metal instruments, mostly aimed at skin extraction, with a very standardised procedureThe paper presentations the results of an analysis of cut marks on painted bones recovered at two historic age sites located in Cape Shirreff, Livingston Islands, Chilean Antarctica. The location, disposition and Morphological Characteristics of each mark are described in order to identify butter patterns employed at the surveyed sites. The study concluded that the marks were made with a metal tool and generally followed a very stable procedure geared towards the skinning of animals
