verification note: Fetched 2026-08-28: "more than 17,000 fish remains" at Loma Salvatierra (occupied 500–1400 AD, 50 km from the Mamoré), "year round resources" in interfluvial areas. CORRECTION: an earlier draft of this record carried a constructed DOI ending 0214650, which the citation pre-flight caught resolving to an unrelated paper; the identifier above is from the fetched page. Paper's own caveat: the paucity of larger-bodied river fish suggests infrequent exogenous contributions.

what the source states: "The fishing practices in this area were studied on the basis of analysis of more than 17,000 fish remains recovered at Loma Salvatierra, a monumental mound located in an interfluvial area 50 km from the Mamoré River and occupied between 500 and 1400 AD" — demonstrating "that these regions contain year round resources," with lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) and tiger-fish (Hoplias malabaricus) named among small-water-body dry-season resources.
