From the Pre-Hispanic epoch onward were recorded the use of many different animal species, and currently is a common practice by rural and indigenous groups. Our aim is obtain a first approximation to identify the animals preferred for consumption. In this paper were analyzed, in a comparative way, the archaeozoological and ethnozoological data from Altos and Selva regions located at the State of Chiapas. A global list of 64 vertebrates with consumption evidences was obtained. Some of them were found both in ancient and current localities. By this way was obtained an historical perspective to measure the change and persistence in the use of faunal resources.Format
