Late-Holocene and Little Ice Age palaeoenvironmental change inferred from pollen analysis, Isla de los Estados, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-06-23)
We present pollen and spore analysis from a peat-bog section from southwestern Isla de los Estados (Staaten Island), Tierra del Fuego to better understand late-Holocene environmental change in southernmost Patagonia. The ...
Late Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation changes in northeastern Brazil determined from carbon isotopes and charcoal records in soils
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Northeastern Brazil represents a strategic area in terms of Quaternary records of environmental changes in South America due to its distinct semi-arid climate in near equatorial latitudes. In this study, carbon isotope and ...
Parasitic diversity found in coprolites of camelids during the Holocene
(Springer, 2015-07)
Knowledge of parasitic infections to which fauna was exposed in the past provides information on the geographical origin of some parasites, on the possible dispersal routes and for archaeological fauna on the potential ...
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 ...
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 ...
First record of a Late Holocene fauna associated with an ephemeral fluvial sequence in La Pampa Province, Argentina. Taphonomy and paleoenvironment
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-03)
The first Late Holocene mammal assemblage (mainly micromammals) of La Pampa Province was found in Quehue paleontological site, associated with an ephemeral fluvial sequence. Taphonomical features of the collected materials ...
Geoarchaeology and taphonomy: Deciphering site formation processes for late Holocene archaeological settings in the eastern Pampa-Patagonian transition, Argentina
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-03-30)
Assessing the integrity and resolution of archaeological sites in sandy environments is a key issue for understanding site formation processes in hunter-gatherer's contexts. A case study from the lower course of the Colorado ...
Oral stress and paleodiet changes among hunter-gatherers from Negro River (northern Patagonia, Argentina) during the late Holocene
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2019-11)
The objective of this work is to evaluate temporal variation of dento-alveolar lesions in hunter-gatherer groups who inhabited the middle course of the Negro River during the late Holocene (ca. 3000-750 years BP) in order ...
Strategies for Quartzitic Raw Materials Procurement in the Eastern Pampa-Patagonia Transition of Argentina during the Initial Late Holocene
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2019-02-26)
The aim of this article is to contribute with new information for the understanding of the provisioning strategies of quartzitic raw materials carried out by the hunter-gatherer groups who inhabited the eastern Pampa-Patagonia ...
Last Glacial Maximum, Late Glacial and Holocene of Patagonia
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2022)
The Patagonian glaciations developed since the latestMiocene (ca. 6Ma)in multiple events, of varied duration and intensity. Most of the present glacial landscapeis the outcome of the glacial modelling during the Pleistocene, ...
