Billfish foraging along the northern coast of Chile during the Middle Holocene (7400-5900 cal BP)
(Elsevier, 2016)
Early maritime adaptation is well known from eastern South America; however, evidence for navigation and large marine fish exploitation, indicative of skilled foraging techniques, remains scarce. In the Atacama Desert, ...
Nicotine in the hair of mummies from San Pedro de Atacama (Northern Chile)
(Academic Press, 2013)
The consumption of plant-derived hallucinogenic substances through smoking and snuffing is a long-standing tradition in the south-central Andes. Chemical and archaeobotanical evidence point to the consumption of nicotine ...
A late Pleistocene human footprint from the Pilauco archaeological site, northern Patagonia, Chile
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019)
Maize (Zea mays) consumption in the southern andes (30 degrees-31 degrees S. Lat): stable isotope evidence (2000 BCE-1540 CE)
(Wiley, 2017)
Objectives: The timing and dietary role of maize agriculture is central to archaeological discussions in the Andean region. In the semi-arid region of northern Chile (SARNC), archaeological models propose that maize was ...
Plant life at the dry limit—Spatial patterns of floristic diversity and composition around the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert
(Public Library Science, 2020)
Extreme arid conditions in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile have created a unique vegetation almost entirely restricted to the desert margins along the coast of the Pacific Ocean and the Andean range. In this study we ...
Evidence of extensional metamorphism associated to Cretaceous rifting of the North-Maghrebian passive margin: The Tanger- Ketama Unit (External Rif, northern Morocco)
(2013)
The distribution pattern of diagenetic conditions to very low-grade metamorphism in the eastern Rif has been determined based on a study of clay-mineral assemblages and illite crystallinity of Mesozoic metapelites. Lowgrade ...
Reply to the comment by Michart et al. On "Evidence of extensional metamorphism associated to Cretaceous rifting of the North-Maghrebian passive margin: the Tanger-Ketama Unit (External Rif, northern Morocoo) by Vázquet et al., Geologica Acta 11 (2013), 2
(2015)
Michard et al. (this issue) commented on certain aspects of the Alpine metamorphism and structural evolution of the Rif belt (Morocco) that were briefly noted in Vázquez et al. (2013). In particular, they criticize our ...
Modeling trench sediment-controlled flow in subduction channels: Implications for the topographic evolution of the Central Andean Fore Arc
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2018-10)
The high elevation of the onshore fore-arc platform in northern Chile cannot be accounted for by previously proposed tectonic mechanisms such as coastal underplating and coseismic deformation, whose topographic effects are ...
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous subduction-related magmatism in the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile (18 degrees 30 '-24 degrees S): geochemistry and petrogenesis
(2007)
Jurassic to Early Cretaceous magmatism in the Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile is represented by thick sequences of mostly basaltic- and esitic to andesitic lava flows and minor sedimentary rocks. The volcanic sucession ...
Unraveling the Peruvian Phase of the Central Andes: stratigraphy, sedimentology and geochronology of the Salar de Atacama Basin (22 degrees 30-23 degrees S), northern Chile
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
The Salar de Atacama Basin holds important information regarding the tectonic activity, sedimentary environments and their variations in northern Chile during Cretaceous times. About 4000m of high-resolution stratigraphic ...
