Zooarchaeology at Loma Salvatierra — a monumental mound 50 km from the Mamoré River, occupied AD 500–1400 — analyzed more than 17,000 fish remains and documents year-round exploitation of interfluvial aquatic resources, including species that persist in small water bodies through the dry season.

Direct zooarchaeological analysis of 17,000+ fish remains (AMZ-E022) documents year-round interfluvial aquatic exploitation, including named dry-season species; single-site scope keeps this short of established.

Verified verbatim from Prestes-Carneiro et al. 2019 (PLOS ONE 14(5) e0214638): "more than 17,000 fish remains"; the interfluvial system "contains year round resources"; lungfish and tiger-fish named as dry-season resources. The paper's own caveat is carried: the paucity of larger-bodied river fish suggests infrequent exogenous contributions.

Zooarchaeological excavations at the monumental mound site of Loma Salvatierra in the Llanos de Mojos recovered and analyzed over 17,000 fish remains, demonstrating continuous, year-round harvesting of aquatic fauna from interfluvial water bodies between AD 500 and 1400. The assemblage is dominated by species such as swamp eels, lungfish, and tiger-fish that thrive in shallow, hypoxic ponds during the dry season, validating the subsistence utility of artificial pond systems. The strongest opposing consideration is that the relative scarcity of large-bodied riverine fish indicates that the site was largely cut off from the main Mamoré channel, reflecting localized adaptation rather than open river access.

More than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra (occupied AD 500-1400, 50 km from the Mamoré), verified verbatim, document year-round interfluvial aquatic exploitation including dry-season-persistent species. Strongest opposing consideration: this is a single mound, and the paper's own caveat — paucity of larger-bodied river fish suggesting infrequent exogenous contributions — limits generalization to interfluvial Amazonia at large.

AMZ-E022 directly reports analysis of more than 17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra, its location 50 km from the Mamoré, occupation from AD 500–1400, and year-round interfluvial aquatic resources. It also identifies dry-season-persistent taxa supporting the seasonal inference. The strongest opposing consideration is that one mound cannot establish the prevalence of this subsistence pattern throughout Amazonia, but the claim is explicitly site-specific.

Prestes-Carneiro et al. 2019 (AMZ-E022) analyzes >17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra (AD 500–1400, 50 km from the Mamoré) and documents year-round interfluvial aquatic exploitation including dry-season small-water-body species. No contrary zooarchaeological evidence appears in the ledger.

AMZ-E022 verifies the specifics: more than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra, a monumental mound 50 km from the Mamoré occupied AD 500–1400, with lungfish and tiger-fish named among dry-season small-water-body resources supporting the year-round inference. This is direct zooarchaeological measurement of subsistence, which is stronger than inference from infrastructure. The strongest opposing consideration is the paper's own caveat recorded in the source note: the paucity of larger-bodied river fish suggests infrequent exogenous inputs, so the site tells us about local aquatic productivity rather than about integration with the main river fishery.

AMZ-E022 quotes more than 17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra, 50 km from the Mamoré, occupied 500–1400 AD, demonstrating year-round interfluvial aquatic resources with lungfish and tiger-fish among the dry-season species. One site, and the source itself notes the paucity of large river fish.

E022 (strong) quotes more than 17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra, 50 km from the Mamoré, occupied AD 500–1400, with dry-season small-water species named. One site; the source notes a paucity of large river fish.

E022 (strong) quotes the 17,000 fish remains and year-round interfluvial resources at Loma Salvatierra, 50 km from the Mamoré, AD 500–1400.

AMZ-E022 (strong, supports) quotes the more than 17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra, 50 km from the Mamoré, occupied 500–1400 AD, demonstrating year-round resources, with lungfish and tiger-fish named as dry-season species. The source's own caveat: few large river fish, suggesting infrequent exogenous contributions.

Zooarchaeological excavation at Loma Salvatierra analyzed over 17,000 fish remains, demonstrating sustained, year-round harvesting of interfluvial aquatic taxa (including lungfish and swamp eels adapted to dry-season ponds) 50 km from the nearest major river. This empirical record is verified from Prestes-Carneiro et al. (2019). Strongest opposing consideration: The scarcity of large fluvial fish remains suggests reliance on localized wetlands rather than integration into regional riverine trade networks.

AMZ-E022 verifies the zooarchaeological record verbatim: over 17,000 fish remains, year-round interfluvial resources, dry-season species named. The strongest opposing consideration: this is one mound site, and the paper's own caveat notes the paucity of larger river fish suggests infrequent exogenous contributions — so generality beyond Loma Salvatierra is unestablished.

AMZ-E022 directly reports analysis of more than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra, its location 50 km from the Mamoré, and occupation from AD 500–1400. It also identifies species surviving in small dry-season water bodies and concludes that interfluvial resources were available year-round. The strongest opposing consideration is that this single-site result does not by itself quantify how representative the strategy was across the region.

Prestes-Carneiro et al. 2019 analyze more than 17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra (AD 500–1400, 50 km from the Mamoré) and document year-round interfluvial aquatic exploitation including dry-season small-water-body taxa (AMZ-E022). Sample size and site context are strong; the paper’s own note on scarce large river fish is a nuance, not a contradiction.

AMZ-E022 quotes the assemblage size (more than 17,000 fish remains), the site's location 50 km from the Mamoré, its AD 500–1400 occupation, and the named dry-season taxa (lungfish, tiger-fish) that persist in small water bodies. A large zooarchaeological assemblage with taxon-level seasonality inference is strong evidence for the specific proposition. The source record's own caveat cuts the other way: the paucity of larger-bodied river fish suggests infrequent exogenous contributions, which constrains how much of the diet this interfluvial system could carry.

Prestes-Carneiro et al. (2019) analyzed over 17,000 fish bones from Loma Salvatierra (occupied AD 500–1400), showing year-round reliance on dry-season wetland fish like lungfish and swamp eels. The strongest opposing consideration is that Loma Salvatierra represents an exceptional monumental mound complex in the Llanos de Mojos that cannot simply be extrapolated to all interfluvial zones.

The 17,000+ fish remains and the year-round interfluvial exploitation finding are verbatim-verified from the fetched PLOS ONE paper. The paper's own caveat — paucity of large riverine fish suggesting infrequent exogenous contributions — is a scope note, not a challenge to the year-round finding.

AMZ-E022 directly reports more than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra, its interfluvial location 50 km from the Mamoré, its AD 500–1400 occupation, and dry-season resources available in small water bodies. The strongest opposing consideration is that seasonally available taxa and an aggregated assemblage establish year-round resource potential more directly than uninterrupted year-round human exploitation. The site-specific subsistence conclusion is nevertheless strongly supported.

Prestes-Carneiro et al. (E022) report >17,000 fish remains at Loma Salvatierra documenting year-round interfluvial exploitation including dry-season small-water-body species. No material contrary evidence appears.

E022 verifies more than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra, a monumental mound 50 km from the Mamoré occupied AD 500–1400. It names lungfish and tiger-fish among dry-season resources of small water bodies. The strongest opposing consideration is a modest overreach. The source is quoted as showing these regions 'contain year round resources', while the claim says it documents year-round exploitation; dry-season fishing is a reasonable inference from the species present, not a direct seasonality measurement. The source record also notes a paucity of large river fish, and this is a single pre-contact site.

AMZ-E022 reports more than 17,000 fish remains from Loma Salvatierra, 50 km from the Mamoré, occupied AD 500–1400. Dry-season species from small water bodies show year-round interfluvial resources. It is one site, and the authors note few large river fish.
