There are evidences or guanaco and vicuña hunting practices in the archaeological record since approximately 10.000 years BP, Next, the introduction or llama became general in the different regions. included possible local domestication processes in Chile y Argentina independets from Andean Central Area. The coexistence between man and camelids, the different exploitation strategies and their adaptation to all andean habitats strenghen the hypothesis that camelids were a really important resource which had a vital importance in all andean cultural processes. The archaeozoological information and other contextual record provide elemets to discuss the significance of Camelidae resourse in the Puna of Atacama regional economics and to suggest several hypothesis about their evolution as "poliproductive" resource.
