[EN] The meaning of Taphonomy is analyzed etymologically and on the ground of its eontent and boundaries, with a discussion about ineluding or not the precise fossilization processes. Considerations follow on the subject —fossils and alteration marks—, and object —agents, processes and envíronmental conditions— of this approach, method and predictability, and on other qualities of taphonomie knowledge, that force to recognizing Taphonomy as a science or scientific approach properly, more than purely a methodological ficíd. The possibilities for ehronological calibration and resolution deserve particular attention, and cases are presented of prehistorie sites in karst deposits.
[ES] Se analiza el concepto de Tafonomia en su etimología y por su contenido y límites, discutiendo si debe incluirse o no el proceso de fosilizacíon. Siguen consideraciones sobre el sujeto —los fósiles y sus trazas de alteración— y los objetos —agentes, procesos y condiciones de alteración— de esta disciplina, el método y predictibilidad, y otras calidades del conocImiento tafonómico, que llevan al reconocimiento de la Tafonomía como una ciencia, o disciplina científica, propiamente, no meramente un campo metodológico. Las posibilidades de calibración y discriminación cronológicas merecen especial atención, y se pormenorizan casos de yacimientos prehistóricos en karst.
