The remains of amphibians have not been mostly considered in the archaeological literature on the coastal zone between the Bío Bío River and the Chacao channel. The finding of remains of amphibians in continental and insular archaeological sites of Arauco coast, led us to research the causes that explain their presence or absence in the archaeological sites in relation to the human populations of Araucanía. This paper focuses on the different zooarchaeological issues, associated with anatomical and taxonomic identification of Amphibians remains, and the nature of taphonomic agents that act on these remains.
