In this paper we discuss the contribution of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen to the problem of human occupation of the forest on the eastern slope of the Andes. An initial characterization of forest isotopic ecology is presented on the basis of 58 plants and herbivores values and two human values. It is possible to discriminate isotopic signals of forest resources and to assess the degree of permanence and / or intensity of use of forest in the past.
