The timing for the evolution of capacity to inscribe landscape with rock art has global relevance. While this was an in-built when Homo sapiens first colonized Americas, heterogeneous distribution shows that it a facultative behavior arising under unknown socioecological conditions. Patagonia last region be explored by humans. its is globally important, remains largely undated absolute methods. We report earliest set directly radiocarbon-dated motifs from archaeological site Cueva Huenul 1...
Pachacamac is the name of 15th-16th century Inca sanctuary on Peruvian coast as well one principal oracles divinities. This effigy would have been destroyed by Pizarro in 1533 during his visit to great monumental complex, and such originality antiquity wooden statue—the so-called Idol—have subject much controversy debate. We present here previously unpublished dates that confirm its manufacture Middle Horizon (AD 500–1000), evidence original polychromy. Traces colors were observed different...
We present the results of excavations and analyses diverse exceptional archaeological assemblage Taguatagua 3, a new late Pleistocene site located in ancient Tagua lake Central Chile (34°S). The anthropogenic context is constrained coherently dated stratigraphic deposit which adds information about mobility, subsistence strategies, settlement early hunter-gatherers southern South America. age model constructed, as well radiocarbon dates obtained directly from combustion structure, indicate...
The micro-Raman spectroscopy was used to identify manganese oxides, pyrolusite, manganite and cryptomelane in archaeological sites northern Atacama Desert, Chile. present data allow us compare expand the origins of raw materials by archaic groups Desert. In Andean highlands, pyrolusite were identified while coastal lowlands found. results complement obtained from lithic rock art painting analyses pointing a better understanding daily life ancient populations minerals use this region. Black...
This article presents the results of physical–chemical characterization layers coating covering bodies, faces and stuffed four mummified human bodies seven grave goods from Chinchorro Archaic funerary tradition that inhabited Atacama Desert far northern coast Chile. Using Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-Rays (SEM-EDX) X-Ray Diffraction (μDRX), study identified use different pigments including iron, manganese copper oxides were combined into preparations or pictorial...
The relations between humans and animals extend into socio-cultural aspects that go beyond the mere acquisition of food, meaning constitute cultural resources fulfill diverse roles in social systems. Visual images different media, including rock art, represent one ways which these complex relationships take place. While New World few comparative analyses archaeofaunal visual data have been addressed, Old studies framed by a dichotomist view drawn (thought) consumed (eaten) understanding,...
The high Andes of western South America feature extreme ecological conditions that impose important physiological constraints on humans including high-elevation hypoxia and cold stress. This leads to questions regarding how these environments were colonized by the first waves reached them during late Pleistocene. Based previous research, aided human behavioral ecology principles, we assess hunter-gatherer strategies in Andean highlands Pleistocene early Holocene. Specifically, formulate...
Abstract This work concerns the study of colors and dyes identified on archaeological textiles from Atacama Desert. The different garments ornaments come excavation two important pre-Columbian cemeteries Tarapacá region: Tarapacá-40 attributed to Formative period (1100 BC–660 AD) Pica-8 Late Intermediate (900–1450 AD). For first time, a multi-analytical approach with non-invasive techniques using FORS SERS was applied samples less than 2 cm length for physicochemical characterization raw...
The Andean church of San Andrés de Pachama is located in the highland northernmost Chile, near limit with Bolivia and next to Ruta la Plata. This commercial route contributed past transport commerce various raw materials, such as silver, from mountains region Pacific Ocean coast then European market. walls inside are decorated paintings end eighteenth century that reproduce religious motivs together flowers, fruits, birds. In this study, micro samples taken one mural have been analysed...
ResumenEl presente artículo explora la interacción social en región atacameña a partir del estudio de sus pinturas rupestres.Mediante el cuantitativo y cualitativo las distribuciones pictóricas, tanto por estructuras compositivas como los íconos claves que aparecen simultáneamente dos o más localidades rupestres, se determinan flujos diferenciales información visual.Esta circulación
Results of exploratory in situ analyses with a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) applied to six rock painting sites, located from Lluta Camarones coastal valleys the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, are presented.The results indicate use iron oxide as main component all paintings, alone or combined aluminum silicate.Arsenic, highly present water region, was also identified, indicating possible binder thinner.These output allow unraveling technology, step forward define and understand...
La utilización de óxidos manganeso se evidencia en el extremo norte Chile desde periodo Arcaico (ca.10.500-4.000cal.a.p.) tierras bajas (costa y valles) altas (precordillera altiplano).En aparece contextos cazadoresrecolectores pescadores Chinchorro, los procesos momificación artificial cuerpos momificados forma natural.En encuentra aleros ocupados por cazadores-recolectores terrestres altoandinos.Adicionalmente, la información geológica existente apunta a que las fuentes encuentran sólo...
Las evidencias de los sitios Pampa El Muerto 3 (PM-3), 8 (PM-8) y Tangani 1 (TAN-1) permiten reafirmar que el arte rupestre la precordillera en extremo norte Chile se asocia a una colonización más bien tardía este espacio, hace 7000 años AP.Su ocupación por cazadores recolectores intensificó hacia fines del Arcaico (ca.6000-3700 AP) perdurando hasta Formativo Tardío (ca.1500 AP), luego reiterarse períodos Intermedio (800-500 AP
