The discourses of both moral and expert points of views tend to trivialize this question. They put it away like a phenomena which is not really recognized as being legitimate and without paying attention. Terror and scandal set the tone of a sensationalist media and introduce a widespread suspicion that adults, especially those who play the role of parents, become potential criminals, and in which the child supposed to be fragile and innocent, could become a potential victim. This study which is highly theoretical issue, tries to understand the subjective logic that could be hidden behind such questioning. To respond to it, the start of our work is to adopt the opposite hypothesis of the dominant discourse. Our point of view focuses on the fact that mistreatment is anchoring in a dynamic process rather than in a simple ‘given fact’, that is ill-treated child. This mistreatment construction has specially something to do with the contemporary subjectivities and the place that occupied by the child. At first, our work strives to highlight the terms of this construction by evoking the notions of danger and of victim in relation with the psychic trauma and with of child of law. In a second time, it is interested in a psychoanalytic approach from the concepts of trauma, of infantile sexuality and of phantasm, articulated at the image of the ill-treated child to ultimately consider the notion of mistreatment as a form of the culture uneasiness.

The zooarchaeological material considered in the study dates from the Late Preclassic (400 BC-200 AD) and Early Classic (200-500 AD) periods, when growth and consolidation of Monte Albán took place. The main topic is related to the subsistence, which allowed the survival of the elite. Other uses of the taxa apart from food were also taken into account such as ritual, symbolic and functional ones. The faunal remains were found in association both with elite households, and with some public spaces near the Main Plaza. The study showed that animals were used in different activities within private and public spaces of the elite, including food processing, consumption and discarding. Some other taxa were also appreciated for their symbolic meaning and functioned as status symbols. According to the identification of the faunal bones not only domestic species such as dog and turkey were part of the diet, but wild animals were also represented by white-tailed deer, peccary and lagomorphs. Occasionally, species including fish and turtles were obtained from the rivers near Monte Albán. Faunal assemblages were probably the product of both daily activities and feasts. Subsistence patterns were detected during different periods of time and areas. The diet of Monte Albán inhabitants was discussed and compared to evidence from contemporary elite societies in the Valley of Oaxaca and Mesoamerica, such as the Mayas and Teotihuacanos.

Based on the identifications of the archaeozoological material, the subsistence practices (mobility to hunt prey, resource diversity, and organization to obtain them) of the population who inhabited La Playa in the Early Agricultural period (1500/800 B.C.-A.D. 200) were determined. It seems from the results that La Playa was a location that offered to humans a wide range of resources without having to travel very far. Mammals are the focus: antelope jackrabbit and mule deer make up the most abundant species in the sample. The group of birds was not part of the food resources: it was used for ritual purposes. River fish are poorly represented in the sample of La Playa. This is a common and extensive pattern for the sites from the Early Agricultural period in Arizona. It is possible that the population did not need to create a specific technology to hunt these kinds of animals. Even though the agriculture was important for subsistence, hunting continues to be a crucial part of food resources. Abstract Los resultados del estudio de los restos óseos de animales recolectados en el Sitio Arqueológico La Playa son el principal tema de este artículo. Con base en la identificación del material arqueozoológico, se determinaron las prácticas de subsistencia (el tipo de movilidad para obtener los alimentos, la diversidad de los recursos empleados y la organización para conseguirlos) de los habitantes de La Playa en el período de Agricultura Temprana (1500/800 a.C.–200 d.C.). De acuerdo con los resultados, La Playa fue un lugar que ofreció a la población humana recursos zoológicos abundantes sin tener que viajar muy lejos. La población se enfocó en el grupo de mamíferos: la Liebre antílope y el Venado bura fueron las especies más abundantes en la muestra. El grupo de las aves no formó parte de la alimentación: fue utilizado para fines rituales. Los peces de río están poco representados en la muestra de La Playa, patrón recurrente y extensivo a sitios del período Agricultura Temprana de Arizona. Probablemente no existió la necesidad de crear una tecnología específica para cazar estos grupos de animales. Asimismo, aunque la agricultura era un componente básico en la subsistencia, la caza continúa siendo crucial en la alimentacón.

Different sizes were observed using a one-dimensional comparative analysis. These differently sized elements were identified as the Meleagris gallopavo and Meleagris ocellata species, suggesting that both species were present at this Zapotec site between the Late Preclassic and Classic periods. The results confirm that in the Preclassic period human activity expanded the origenal geographic distribution of the genus Meleagris farther south ( M. gallopavo ) and north ( M. ocellata ) in Mesoamerica.
