From Gustavo Politis, one of the most renowned South American archaeologists, comes first in-depth study in English last undiscovered people Amazon. His work is groundbreaking and urgent, both because encroaching guerrilla violence that makes Nukak existence perilously fragile, his with represented opportunities to conduct research hunter-gatherers using contemporary methodological theoretical tools. Through a rich comprehensive ethno-archaeological portrait material culture making, this...

Resumen En las últimas dos décadas se ha producido un incremento notable de la información arqueológica sobre Tierras Bajas sudamericanas. No obstante, el mapa arqueológico este área sigue contando con algunos vacíos importantes para conocer particularidades del registro en cada región específica y muchas regiones están aún poco estudiadas. Uno estos corresponde al Delta río Paraná, que los últimos años empezado a ser objeto investigaciones sistemáticas. artículo realiza una revisión crítica...

The Arroyo Seco 2 site contains a rich archaeological record, exceptional for South America, to explain the expansion of Homo sapiens into Americas and their interaction with extinct Pleistocene mammals. following paper provides detailed overview material remains found in earliest cultural episodes at this multi-component site, dated between ca. 12,170 14C yrs B.P. (ca. 14,064 cal B.P.) 11,180 13,068 B.P.). Evidence early occupations includes presence lithic tools, concentration species...

The early peopling of the Americas has been one most hotly contested topics in American anthropology and a research issue that draws archaeologists into multidisciplinary debate. In South America, although background data on this increased exponentially recent decades, core questions related to temporal spatial patterns colonization process remain open. paper we tackle these light quantitative analysis screened radiocarbon database more than 1600 dates. We explore frequency dates as proxies...

Currently, one of the major debates about American peopling focuses on number populations that originated biological diversity found in continent during Holocene. The studies craniometric variation human remains dating from period have shown morphological differences between earliest settlers and some later Amerindian populations. This led investigators to suggest these groups—known as Paleomericans Amerindians respectively—may arisen two biologically different On other hand, most DNA...

Abstract Summary: We present bammds , a practical tool that allows visualization of samples sequenced by second-generation sequencing when compared with reference panel individuals (usually genotypes) using multidimensional scaling algorithm. Our is aimed at determining the ancestry unknown samples—typical ancient DNA data—particularly only low amounts data are available for those samples.
