Statistical Analysis of Radiocarbon Datings from the South Central Sector of Quebrada de Humahuaca

Abstract

In this paper we present a compilation and review of radiocarbon dates from different archaeological sites in the center-south of the Humahuaca Gorge, Jujuy province, Argentina. These include those made by Beatriz Cremonte and her team in recent years, as well as the previously available for the region. After reviewing each radiocarbon dating and the context, conventional statistics and Bayesian modeling techniques are used to evaluate temporal trends.
