We present new evidence obtained in archaeological surveys Quebrada Pedernales (3356 masl), the southern puna of Chile (26°S; 69°W). A series surface findings such as large lanceolate stemmed projectile points and geometric stones, together with chronostratigraphic artifactual data recovered excavations at Pedernales-38 site, suggest that coastal Huentelauquén groups explored inhabited Andean highlands between 10,151 9695 cal yr BP. The record is discussed it relates to known for this...

We present the results of an interdisciplinary study conducted at Pedernales-5 site, situated in Salar de Pedernales basin (26°S; 3356 masl), dated from 10,510−10,749 to 11,201−11,612 cal. BP. Unlike other Late Pleistocene and Holocene sites Andean Puna, where vicuñas ( Vicugna vicugna) were primary prey, Pedernales-5, zooarcheological assemblage consists almost exclusively flamingo (Phoenicopteridae) bird remains. Through analysis lithic bone artifacts, archeobotanical remains, pigment...

We present obsidian compositional data obtained by X-ray fluorescence analysis in the Andean highlands (25-27ºS / 68-69ºW) of northern Chile. Seventy-six samples (n=76) from three lithic sources and six archaeological sites were analyzed, covering a chronological sequence 10,000 to 500 cal BP. Compositional analyses indicate exploitation Ciénaga Redonda Cerro Manchado local as well Ona-Las Cuevas Salar del Hombre Muerto located between 200 230 km away on eastern slope Andes, northwestern...
