Subsistence patterns during the Holocene in the Interserrana area (Pampean region, Argentina): Evaluating intensification in resource exploitation
(Elsevier Inc, 2014-02)
Intensification is defined as the process by which the total productivity per areal unit of land is increased at the expense of overall decreases in foraging efficiency. The Interserrana area is a large ecosystem of ...
Population dynamics and human strategies in Northwestern Patagonia: a view from Salamanca Cave (Mendoza, Argentina)
(University of Ljubljana Press, 2021-11-09)
In this paper we evaluate the role of human strategies in the Andean Piedmont from northern Patagonia across the Holocene. Specifically, we present the analysis of the Early Holocene Late Holocene archaeological record of ...
Sustainable harvest or resource depression? Using ancient DNA to study the population dynamics of guanaco in western Argentina during the Holocene
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-05-23)
Zooarchaeologists have relied upon various approaches to study the impacts of harvest pressure and environmental change on ungulate populations, such as analysis of prey mortality patterns and morphometrics. Analysis of ...
More carnivorous than vegetarian: Isotopic perspectives on human diets in Late Holocene northwestern Patagonia
(Elsevier, 2020-12-19)
This paper reevaluates the significance of plants and animals in Late Holocene human diets of northwestern Patagonia. The area was occupied by hunter-gatherers who, despite the presence of nearby agricultural populations, ...
Was There a Process of Regionalization in Northeastern Patagonia During the Late Holocene?
(Routledge, 2017-01)
The objective of this article is to evaluate if changes in the social organization of hunter-gatherer groups from northeastern Patagonia (Argentina) during the Final Late Holocene (ca. 1000–250 years BP) may be understood ...
Filling in the gaps and testing past scenarios on the central westcoast: hunter-gatherer subsistence and mobility at 'deurspring 16' shell midden, Lamberts Bay, South Africa
(South African Archaeological Soc, 2016)
This paper presents the first detailed report on mid-Holocene faunal and artefactual observations from Deurspring 16 (DSP16) shell midden situated on the central West Coast of South Africa. DSP16 also yielded late Holocene ...
Human use of birds and fish in marine settings of southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego in the Holocene: A first macro-regional approach
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-07)
This paper presents a review of the zooarchaeological representations of birds and fish in coastal archaeological sites of southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego (47°-55°S). The spatial and temporal variations of this ...
Palaeogeographic changes drove prehistoric fishing practices in the Cambaceres Bay (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) during the middle and late Holocene
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-05)
Fishing intensification is evidenced in the archaeological record of the Beagle Channel region (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) during the late Holocene by significant diachronic increases in both the representation of coastal ...
Nothofagus forest dynamics and palaeoenvironmental variations during the mid and late Holocene, in southwest Patagonia
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2014-06)
Southern Patagonia intersects the core of the Southern Westerlies, providing a unique opportunity for palaeo-reconstructions and the implication of past wind variations. There is a strong link between the strength of the ...

(Wiley, 2012-01)
This article explores the levels of fragmentation and fracture patterns in archaeofaunal assemblages from the lower basin of the Colorado River (Argentina) following Outram's methodology. Remains of ungulates (guanaco) ...
