This paper presents the results of a taphonomic analysis of the site GNLQ1 (32 ° S – 71° W Chile) discovered at 13 m of depth below sea level. The site can be characterized as a primary context, conformed by diverse remains of extinct continental fauna (families Camelidae, Cervidae, Cricetidae, Artiodactyla, Equidae, Mylodontidae, Canidae and the Xenarthra Order) recovered in concentrations arranged on a stratigraphic unit also assigned to the Late Pleistocene. We deal with taxonomic determination, skeletal units' representations, and surface modifications of the material. We aim to understand paleo-ecological conditions and identify taphonomic factors in terrestrial and sub aquatic contexts.
