  • Additional Fieldwork and Reassessments Support Human Presence since the Last Glacial Maximum at Chiquihuite Cave, Mexico

    Ciprian F Ardelean, Joaquin Arroyo-Cabrales et al.ARTICLEPaleoAmerica2026

    Chiquihuite Cave became known for its silica-rich limestone artifacts from stratified deposits that indicated human occupations dating between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the Younger Dryas (YD). The claims were received with skepticism by some peers. This paper presents the results of further explorations performed at the site in 2019 that confirm the presence of artifacts at other locations in the cavern. We communicate the findings of de…

  • Changes in body size in some bird species from the Yucatán peninsula since the Late Pleistocene

    Open AccessAna Frida Silva‐martínez, J Jaime Zúñiga‐vega et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023References: 52

    During the Pleistocene, the Yucatán Peninsula reached its greatest geographic extension, with 457,650 km2, but the rise of sea level after the Last Glacial Maximum (ca. 20,000-12,000 years ago) reduced its area to 225,182 km2(50.8% reduction). These geographic extension changes likely modified the extension of different habitats throughout the peninsula, which may have also promoted morphological changes in the species that inhabit this region. H…

  • The Lacustrine Preceramic Cultures in the Basin of Mexico

    Guillermo Acosta Ochoa, Guillermo Acosta-Ochoa et al.CHAPTERPreceramic Mesoamerica2021

    In this chapter, the authors present their effort to reevaluate the evidence for the preceramic occupation in the Basin of Mexico, one of the least known periods in the archaeological sequence of the region. The lacustrine system of the Basin of Mexico has played an important role in the study of the evolution of social complexity. Regardless of questions surrounding some of the discoveries reported from this area, direct dating clearly shows tha…

  • San Josecito Cave and Its Paleoecological Contributions for Quaternary Studies in Mexico

    Open AccessJoaquin Arroyo-Cabrales, Eileen Johnson et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2021

    San Josecito Cave (2250 m elevation) is located nearby Aramberri, Nuevo León, northeastern Mexico, with excavations occurring in 1935–1941 and 1990. It is a paleontological cave and the significance of its faunal data rests in the understanding of the Quaternary ecosystems of the Mexican Plateau and the Southern Plains. This significance is underpinned by a consideration of associated stratigraphic and geochronological data. The fauna is composed…

  • Muknalia is a Collared Peccary (Pecari tajacu)

    Open AccessBlaine W Schubert, Joshua X Samuels et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2021References: 2

    Several years ago, a new genus and species of peccary, “'Muknalia minima'”, was described from the Pleistocene of Mexico. We previously examined that specimen and concluded that it was synonymous with the extant collared peccary, 'Pecari tajacu', but that taxonomic revision is rejected by the authors of the original study (this volume). Here, we provide further analysis of “'Muknalia'” and expand on previous evidence from both morphology and taph…

  • The mutual ecogeographical range and paleoclimatic reconstruction during the Late Pleistocene-Holocene in the Pampas (Argentina) using meso and microvertebrate fossils

    Open AccessJ Alberto Cruz, José Luis Prado et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021Cited by: 2References: 18

    The Pampas of Argentina is a large grassland ecosystem located in the oriental region southern of South America. As a study case, we present the results of the paleoclimatic analysis of the Tixi Cave site. This is a paleontological and archeological locality that shows a long chronologic sequence, with radiocarbon dates ranging from the Late Pleistocene to historical times, and one of the best records of meso and microvertebrate fossils in South …

  • Chiquihuite Cave and America’s Hidden Limestone Industries

    Ciprian F Ardelean, Mikkel Winther Pedersen et al.ARTICLEPaleoAmerica2021Cited by: 2References: 13

    This paper is a reply to Chatters et al. (2021. “Evaluating Claims of Early Human Occupation at Chiquihuite Cave, Mexico.” PaleoAmerica 8, doi:10.1080/20555563.2021.1940441), in which they raise a large number of doubts about the legitimacy of our claims of earlier-than-expected human presence at Chiquihuite Cave, in northern Zacatecas, Mexico, mainly questioning the artificial nature of the lithic assemblage and the integrity of our geological c…

    Muchos animales se encuentran entretejidos en las visiones cósmicas de diferentes culturas del mundo. En este contexto varias especies han sido idealizadas como referentes que sintetizan atributos apreciados por el hombre como poder, valor, nobleza, así como fuerzas de la naturaleza o de lo desconocido. Con frecuencia son animales grandes los que han capturado la atención humana desde sus orígenes, como lo refleja el arte parietal antiguo. Probab…

  • New AMS Radiocarbon Ages from the Preceramic Levels of Coxcatlan Cave, Puebla, Mexico

    Open AccessA D Somerville, Isabel Casar et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2021Cited by: 6References: 41

    Archaeological studies at Coxcatlan Cave in the Tehuacan Valley of southern Puebla, Mexico, have been instrumental to the development of the chronology for the region and for our understanding of the origins of food production in the Americas. This article refines the Preceramic chronology of the Tehuacan Valley by presenting 14 new accelerated mass spectrometry (AMS) radiocarbon ages from faunal bone samples uncovered from early depositional lev…

  • Taphonomic Analysis of the Pleistocene–Holocene Transition Faunal Assemblage from Santa Marta Cave, Chiapas

    Óscar R Solís-Torres, Guillermo Acosta Ochoa et al.ARTICLEPaleoAmerica2020References: 12

    The taphonomic analysis of fauna associated with early human occupations of Santa Marta Cave shows a high incidence of anthropogenic activity in the formation of the cave deposits, although other accumulators contributed to the formation processes. Our findings support subsistence strategies consisting of the exploitation of small- and medium-sized mammals, and aquatic species such as freshwater snails (Pachychilus sp.), swamp turtles (Kinosterno…

  • Muknalia minima from the Yucatán of Mexico is synonymous with the collared peccary, Pecari tajacu (Artiodactyla)

    Open AccessBlaine W Schubert, Joshua X Samuels et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2020References: 11

    Ongoing investigation of peccary remains from fossiliferous deposits in the Yucatán resulted in re-examination of previously identified tayassuid fossils from the region. This included the recently described new genus and species of peccary, Muknalia minima, which is based on a dentary from Muknal Cave near Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Diagnostic characters of this taxon include a concave notch along the caudal edge of the ascending ramus and a v…

    Interest in the first hunter-gatherer populations of Mexico has increased in the last fifteen years. Exploration of the Late Pleistocene localities involved in the early peopling of Mexico, including the discovery of new ones and reanalysis of known ones, and the application of new methods and techniques (e.g. AMS radiocarbon dating, stable isotopes, scanning electron microscopy, palaeobotanical analysis) have increased. Archaeozoology has contri…
