Few archeological sites in South America contain uncontroversial evidence for when the first peopling of continent occurred. Largely ignored this debate, extreme environments are assumed either as barriers to early wave migration or without potential past habitability. Here, we report on a rare 12–13 ka human occupation from Quebrada Maní (site QM12), plantless, near rainless landscape (1240 m asl and 85 km Pacific Ocean) located hyperarid core Atacama Desert. This location harbored wetlands...
In deserts, water has been singled out as the most important factor for choosing where to settle, but trees were likely an part of landscape hunter-gatherers beyond merely constituting economic resource. Yet, this critical aspect not considered archaeologically. Here, we present results mapping and radiocarbon dating a truly unique archaeological record. Over 150 preserved stumps around five Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene campsites (12,800 11,200 cal BP) show that key features in creation...
Hunter-gatherers collected and used various woody species depending on the landscape, availability of plant communities, sociocultural considerations. With extensive paleo-wetlands groundwater-fed oases, Atacama Desert was interspersed with riparian woodlands that provided vital resources (fuel, water, game) at end Pleistocene in areas such as Pampa del Tamarugal (PdT) basin. We use anthracological analyses to determine fuel management strategies hunter-gatherer societies this hyperarid...
Shell middens are conspicuous manifestations of the exploitation rich, sustainable, easily seen and harvested marine resources that, worldwide, enabled hunter-gatherers to reduce mobility increase population social complexity. Globally, known sites tend cluster chronologically around 6 k BP, after slowing eustatic sea-level rise, although Pacific coast South America offers some rare earlier exceptions. We report investigations La Yerba II, a Middle Preceramic shell matrix site on Río Ica...
Le site de Paso Otero 5 (Argentine) se caractérise par une forte proportion d'os brûlés. Situé dans la Pampa humide (province Buenos Aires), ces os sont les seuls témoins combustion un environnement pauvre en combustible ligneux. C'est pourquoi l'hypothèse d'une utilisation l'os comme a été rapidement évoquée. A partir techniques descriptives et d'analyses physico-chimiques (analyse CHN-RC, diffraction des rayons X, MEB) nous avons pu définir le degré combustion, processus diagenétiques qui...
This work presents the results of a study mining-metallurgical production in late pre-Hispanic times Collahuasi Mining District (Northern Chile), specifically examining technology employed and changes scale production. We focus on recent obtained 50 pyrometallurgical furnaces identi ed at Ujina 8 10 archaeological sites their relation to 37, metallurgical camp located very close vicinity. makes 8, 10, 37 largest copper center Northern Chile.

Frédéric Engel (1981:24), el pionero de los estudios del Precerámico en Perú, argumentó que la distribución sitios arqueológicos durante Holoceno temprano fue determinada por “la capacidad las lomas” –oasis estacionales producidos humedad oceánica están presentes a lo largo costa Perú– una proposición aún se encuentra debate. Nosotros evaluaremos ideas basándonos datos Medio (hasta 4500 años cal AP) ubicados dentro y cerca lomas sur Perú.
