Early to mid-Holocene aridity in central Chile and the southern Westerlies: The Laguna Aculeo record (34°S)
(Academic Press Inc., 2002)
Central Chile (32-35°S) lies at the northern border of strong Westerly influence and thus exhibits a steep precipitation gradient. Therefore, the palaeoclimatic archives in the region are suitable for detecting past moisture ...
Early to Middle Holocene subsistence strategies in the Pampas region: Evidence from the Arroyo Seco 2 site
(Elsevier, 2017-04)
The following paper presents an analysis of the faunal material from the Arroyo Seco 2 site dated from the Early to Middle Holocene (ca. 8500 to 5800 14C yrs B.P.). The zooarchaeological and taphonomic data presented here ...
The late Pleistocene-early Holocene rails (Gruiformes: Rallidae) of Laguna de Tagua Tagua Formation, central Chile, with the description of a new extinct giant coot
(Elsevier, 2020)
Rallidae, which includes coots, crakes and moorhens, is one of the most speciose families among the Gruiformes. This family exhibits a pattern of diversification that has involved significant episodes of regional expansion ...
Fuel management in high mobility groups in Patagonia (Argentina) during the Holocene: Anthracological evidences of the sites Cerro Casa de Piedra 5 and Cerro Casa de Piedra 7
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019-07)
Use of fire has been recognized for a long time as a key innovation in the development of human groups, as a multisource technological improvement. Fuel wastes recovered from archeological sites are the direct evidence of ...
Lithic Technology at Campo Laborde, an Early-Holocene Megamammal Hunting Site in the Pampean Region (Argentina)
(University of Texas A&M. Department of Anthropology. Center for the Study of the First Americans, 2012-11)
Kill/scavenge sites of megamammals in different parts of the world have provided extensive information on subsistence strategies, hunting techniques and technologies used. These kinds of sites often contain the remains of ...
Huentelauquén coastal groups in the Andean highlands? An assessment of human occupations of the Early Holocene in Salar de Pedernales, Chile (26°S, 3356 masl)
(2022)
We present new evidence obtained in archaeological surveys in Quebrada Pedernales (3356 masl), in the southern puna of Chile (26°S; 69°W). A series of surface findings such as large lanceolate stemmed projectile points and ...
Early Holocene greening of the Sahara requires Mediterranean winter rainfall
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021)
The greening of the Sahara, associated with the African Humid Period (AHP) between ca. 14,500 and 5,000 y ago, is arguably the largest climate-induced environmental change in the Holocene; it is usually explained by the ...
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 ...
New insights on sources contributing dust to the loess record of the western edge of the Pampean Plain during the transition from the late MIS 2 to the early Holocene
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019-09)
High-resolution studies of palaeorecords located closer to the dust source areas of South America are relevant for increasing the knowledge on past climatic conditions in the Southern Hemisphere. In this sense, the Pampean ...
Early Holocene Inland Occupation in the Semiarid North of Chile
(2016)
The human occupation of the Pacific Rim of the southern Andes during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition was concentrated near the coast. The Pichasquita rockshelter in the Semiarid North of Chile, however, shows evidence ...
