Iron oxides have been used extensively in the Americas from Paleoindian period up to ethnographic present. But, because archaeological mining sites are extremely rare this continent, we still know very little about how indigenous groups exploited and processed these minerals. Here report finds San Ramón 15 site, located on arid coast of northern Chile, where our research revealed a prehistoric mine with associated tailings debris that was by hunter-gatherer-fisher groups. The first during...
Early inhabitants along the hyperarid coastal Atacama Desert in northern Chile developed resilience strategies over 12,000 years, allowing these communities to effectively adapt this extreme environment, including impact of giant earthquakes and tsunamis. Here, we provide geoarchaeological evidence revealing a major tsunamigenic earthquake that severely affected prehistoric hunter-gatherer-fisher ~3800 years ago, causing an exceptional social disruption reflected contemporary changes...
La inteligencia artificial (IA) está transformando la educación, incluyendo formación de futuros educadores físicos. Aunque existen preocupaciones sobre el reemplazo humano y deshumanización del aprendizaje, IA puede ser valiosa en Educación Física al facilitar intervenciones atractivas eficaces, evaluar desempeño motor diseñar programas adaptados, sugiriendo rediseñar procesos educativos para incluir alfabetización digital habilidades relacionadas con durante los docente. El presente...
ResumenEl presente trabajo constituye una reevaluación de la secuencia cronológico-cultural del período Arcaico en Taltal, un intento por documentar las continuidades y transformaciones organización económica poblaciones locales que habitaron este territorio, a partir nuevos datos generados durante los últimos años conjunto con otros estudios realizados zona anteriormente.Esta investigación ha estado principalmente orientada al registro comprensión tres variables principales dentro sistemas
Mines, spoils, retention walls and pads are the most common material remains of pre-Hispanic mining activity studied by archaeologists.In this paper we will focus on yet another category, ergology, defined as artefacts associated with day to activities.Mining ergology seeks document technological equipment miner, which is seldom found in archaeological contexts due poor preservation organic materials.The arid conditions Atacama desert offer unique conservation possibilities have shown a...
Abstract The Atacama Desert is among the driest places on Earth, yet ancient agricultural systems are present in region. Here, we a study of terraced soils high‐altitude eastern margin northern Chile, mainly dating to Late Intermediate Period (ca. 950–1400 AD) and Inka period 1400–1536 AD). Terraced fields were compartmentalized distribute limited irrigation water originating from springs. Natural used for agriculture mostly Aridisols developed Pleistocene alluvial fan terraces hillslopes...
Se presentan bioindicadores de prácticas navegación y caza especies oceánicas durante el Holoceno Medio (ca.7.000 cal a.p.) en la costa árida del Norte Grande Chile.A partir análisis los restos ictiológicos provenientes excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas sitio Agua Dulce (Taltal, II Región) se identificó presencia peces epipelágicos gran tamaño: pez espada (Xiphias gladius), marlín (Istiophoridae) dos tiburones (Notorynchus cepedianus Galeorhinus galeus), registrados cuatro momentos...
Remote sensing archaeology in recent years has emphasized the use of high-precision and high-accuracy tools to achieve detailed documentation archaeological elements (drones, LIDAR, etc.). Satellite remote also benefited from an increase spatial spectral resolution sensors, which is enabling discovery new features sites worldwide. While there can be no doubt that a great deal being gained via such “site detection” approaches, still remains possibility further exploring methods analyse...
En el presente trabajo ponemos a prueba interpretaciones en boga que le otorgan la actividad minera un rol central dentro del expansionismo incaico al norte de Chile, y particular región atacameña altiplano sur Tarapacá.Luego sintetizar información acerca minería durante Período Intermedio Tardío (ca.950-1.400d.C.), revisamos las evidencias arqueológicas cobre incaica Tarapacá (ca.1.400-1.540d.C.), reconstruyendo partir dicha revisión modalidades organización producción su administración,...
INTRODUCCIÓNLa explotación minera en la Región de Antofagasta debió iniciarse a lo menos durante el Período Arcaico Temprano (ca.10.500-9000 AP).En este período se ha documentado presencia pigmentos color rojo, seguramente óxidos hierro
ABSTRACT Imperial expansion can produce broad economic intensification throughout the provinces to provide key resources for state. However, not all such is direct result of imposition an imperial political economy over subject populations. This article presents evidence some cases where occurred due bottom‐up responses small groups that were able profit from conquest. In case Incas, although a labor‐tax system, or mit'a , was important device their expansion, we question its universality....
Dentro del escenario sociopolítico de los Andes Sur, parecen existir a lo menos dos tradiciones metalúrgicas que coexisten durante el Período Medio. La primera propiamente altiplánica, centrada en torno al estado Tiwanaku y la segunda noroeste argentino, caracterizada por metalurgia Aguada. Paralelamente, desde Medio se observa un notable aumento presencia objetos metálicos San Pedro Atacama, cuales aparecen las tumbas ciertos casos asociados con Tiwanaku,...
Se presentan los resultados obtenidos de análisis bioarqueológicos realizados en 36 individuos provenientes 25 sitios prehispánicos la costa Taltal, cuales muestran continuidad zona del modo vida cazador-recolector-pescador, asociado a explotación y consumo recursos marinos.Se especifican una serie actividades que estos habrían llevado cabo, partir presencia enfermedades articulares degenerativas algunos marcadores estrés ocupacional, además presentarse evidencia condiciones paleopatológicas...
Abstract Hunter‐gatherer architectural practices are one of the main sources data to understand complex land use these societies. In hyperarid Atacama Desert coast (Northern Chile), hunter‐gatherers‐fishers developed standardized stone‐built architecture during Late Archaic period (∼5,700–4,000 cal years BP), interpreted so far as sedentary villages or long‐term campsites. Nevertheless, lack site formation process studies and systematic chronostratigraphies defy such functional...
