The First Stages In The Peopling Of The Salta Province Puna Region (Northwest Argentina): A Review Based On Projectile Points
(Maney Publishing, 2016-03)
We present an analysis of “fishtail” and triangular non-stemmed projectile points from the puna of the Salta province (northwest Argentina), which are thought to date to the late Pleistocene/early Holocene. These findings ...
Breakage patterns on fishtail projectile points: experimental and archaeological cases
(W. S. Maney & Son Ltd, 2014-10)
Fishtail projectile points, also known as Fell 1, are dated between 11,000 and 9,500 14C yr BP in South and Central America and have been traditionally considered diagnostic of the early peopling of the continent. In this ...
The Tigre Projectile Point in Central Argentina: Implications for the Initial Peopling of the Region
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-01)
We report a Tigre projectile point discovered in Central Mountains of Argentina and discuss its implications for the initial peopling of the central Argentina. This type of projectile point is typical of early groups from ...
Differential Distribution of Projectile Points in Southern Patagonia during the Early Holocene: Peopling Implications?
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020-05)
There is still debate about when and how the peopling process of South America developed, particularly in southern Patagonia. Earliest evidence corresponds to chronologies beginning at circa 11,000 radiocarbon years ago. ...
A Fishtail Projectile Point from the Southern Pampean Hills, Characato, Córdoba, Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-07)
Here we report a newly discovered Fishtail projectile point, or Fell 1 projectile-point type, from Characato valley in the southern Pampean Hills of central Argentina. It is a fluted basal stem fragment on a non-local dark ...
Spatial Patterns in Late Holocene Lithic Projectile Point Technology of Tierra del Fuego (Southern South America): Assessing Size and Shape Changes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-03)
This paper focuses on the application of geometric morphometrics to the study of the lithic record in southern South America. We review the regional background, discuss methodological issues, and summarize research advances. ...
Cultural transmission and correlational selection in Late Period projectile points from the Puna of Salta, Argentina (AD 900 - 1500)
(University of Edinburgh. School of History, Classics and Archaeology, 2018-12)
This work proposes a methodology for documenting metric patterns of trait correlation in Late Period (ca. AD 900-1500) projectile points from the Puna and pre-Puna of Salta, Argentina. In so doing, our main goal is to ...
Technological and Protein Residue Analysis on Ancient Stemmed Projectile Points of the Southern Andes Highlands
(2024)
We present the results of technological and protein residue analyses of the lithic assemblagesrecovered at the Pedernales-38 site (26.5°S; 69°W), located in the highlands of the southernAndes (3380 masl). Based on a ...
Fishtail projectile points from South America: the Brazilian record
(Scientific Research Publishers, 2015-05)
The projectile points known as Fishtail or Fell represent a specific design associated with the earliesthunter-gatherers of the Pleistocene-Holocene transition in South America. Brazil was traditionallyconsidered as a ...
Environment, space, and morphological variation of projectile points in Patagonia (Southern South America)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11)
The aim of this work is to assess shape variation in Patagonian stemmed projectile points related to spatial and environmental factors by means of geometric morphometric and multivariate methods. The sample includes 1445 ...
