The Peopling of the Pampas and Patagonia
(Center for the Study of the First Americans, 2020-01)
Consider South America, a continent so vast it could swallow the United States twice over. Even today, only natives have ever set foot on some inner reaches. Indeed, Native Americans have colonized every clime and exploited ...
Early Holocene Human Remains from the Argentinean Pampas: Cranial Variation in South America and the American Peopling
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015-07)
Morphological comparisons between the earliest and latest human skeletons of America have suggested the existence of a complex scenario underlying the biological diversification of American populations. In the late nineteenth ...
Hunting, Butchering and Consumption of Rheidae in the south of South America: An Actualistic Study
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2022)
Ethnographic studies and ethnohistoric literature from the south of South America showed strong interest in Rheas (Rhea americana and Rhea pennata)consumption. The Chronicles from numerous explorers of the nineteenth century ...
Taxonomy of Baccharis subgen. Tarchonanthoides (Asteraceae: Astereae: Baccharidinae), a group from the southeastern South American grasslands and savannas.
(Phytotaxa, v. 241, n. 1, p. 1-70, 2016., 2016)
Early Human Holocene Remains from the Argentinean Pampa: Additional Evidence for Distinctive Cranial Morphology of Early South Americans.
(Wiley-liss, div John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2010-09)
The cranial morphology of Early Holocene American human samples is characterized by a long and narrow cranial vault, whereas more recent samples exhibit a shorter and wider cranial vault. Two hypotheses have been proposed ...
Oldest record of Leptodactylus Fitzinger, 1826 (Anura, Leptodactylidae), from the early Pliocene of the South American Pampas
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2013-11)
The Neotropical frog genus Leptodactylus is one of the most taxonomically diverse of all neobatrachian anurans. Despite the genus being highly diversified and widely distributed today, the fossil record is scanty and ...
Sex and age-biased exploitation and metric characterization of medium-sized deer in the lower Paraná wetland, South America
(Wiley, 2019-05-17)
In this paper, we present an analysis of the exploitation of medium-sized deer in the lower Paraná wetland by pre-Columbian hunter-gatherers. To achieve this goal, we developed an osteometric frame of reference for the ...
Atmospheric dust dynamics in southern South America: A 14-year modern dust record in the loessic Pampean region
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020-04)
Mineral aerosols profoundly impact global climate. Modeling of the dust cycle is the main tool used to gauge this effect. However, the scarcity of in situ modern dust flux measurements is the main reason why validation of ...
A Last Glacial anuran assemblage from the inland Pampas of South America provides insights into climate and environments during Marine Isotope Stage 3
(Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2019-07)
Environmental and climatic conditions of the South American temperate grasslands (Pampas) during the Last Glacial Period have typically been regarded as mostly arid and cold, whereas humid and mild conditions such as those ...
