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 ...

The mean precipitation fields for eastern South America from eight mid-Holocene (6 ka) simulations, part of the third phase of Palaeoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP3) and the fifth phase of the Coupled Model ...

This paper summarizes the available paleoenvironmental information for the Mid-Holocene in Northwestern Argentina, in order to systematize a multi-scale scenario for human adaptation in the area. The main results of the ...

The mid-Holocene (6000 years ago) is a standard time period for the evaluation of the simulated response of global climate models using palaeoclimate reconstructions. The latest mid-Holocene simulations are a palaeoclimate ...

The firsts results of the silicophytolith research carried out for the sedimentary sequence of Alfar archaeological site are presented. The aims of this study were to identify the vegetation associations and to contribute ...

Building on previous research at smaller scales, in this paper we assemble paleoecological data and archaeological time-series for deserts located in three latitudinal bands along the South American Arid Diagonal (16°–41°S, ...

In contrast to what was recorded in other sectors of the Atlantic coast of continental Patagonia, evidence of intensive fishing activities has been found on the northern littoral of the San Matías Gulf (Río Negro, Argentina). ...
