    Open Access•Carolina Godoy-Aguirre, M Frugone et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 11

    Understanding socio-ecological systems over the long term can shed light on past adaptive strategies in environmentally sensitive regions. Central Chile is an emblematic case study for mediterranean ecosystems, where a progressive and sustained population increase began approximately 2000 years ago alongside significant landscape changes. In this work we analyzed regional paleo-demographic trends by compiling a new database of archaeological date…

  • Silvopastoralism and the shaping of forest patches in the Atacama Desert during the Formative Period (ca. 3000–1500 years BP)

    Open Access•Virginia Mcrostie, P Babot et al.•ARTICLE•The Holocene•2022•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 15

    During the Formative period by the Late-Holocene (ca. 3000–1500 BP), semi-sedentary and sedentary human occupations had emerged in the oases, salares, and riverine systems in the central depression (2400–1000 masl) of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile (19–25°S). This hyperarid core was marginally occupied during the post-Pleistocene and middle Holocene droughts. Settlement on these lower belts was accompanied by a rise in humidity, the introduct…

    Open Access•Sandra Rebolledo, P Béarez et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Archaeology•2021•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 23

    Recovery methods and techniques for archaeological sampling can yield major differences in abundance and anatomo-taxonomical representation of animals, affecting past social and ecological reconstruction. Despite being a common organic material in archaeological sites, faunal remains typically exhibit differential preservation of species and skeletal elements due to pre- and post-depositional processes. This is particularly true for small-sized a…

  • In-stream wetland deposits, megadroughts, and cultural change in the northern Atacama Desert, Chile

    Open Access•Craig David Tully, Jason A Rech et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Research•2019

    A key concern regarding current and future climate change is the possibility of sustained droughts that can have profound impacts on societies. As such, multiple paleoclimatic proxies are needed to identify megadroughts, the synoptic climatology responsible for these droughts, and their impacts on past and future societies. In the hyperarid Atacama Desert of northern Chile, many streams are characterized by perennial flow and support dense in-str…

  • Hunter-Gatherer Mobility Strategies in the High Andes of Northern Chile during the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene Transition (ca. 11,500–9500 CAL B.P.)

    Daniela Osorio, J M Capriles et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Field Archaeology•2017

    The high Andes of western South America feature extreme ecological conditions that impose important physiological constraints on humans including high-elevation hypoxia and cold stress. This leads to questions regarding how these environments were colonized by the first waves of humans that reached them during the late Pleistocene. Based on previous research, and aided by human behavioral ecology principles, we assess hunter-gatherer behavioral s…

    Hunter-gatherers collected and used various woody species depending on the landscape, availability of plant communities, and sociocultural considerations. With extensive paleo-wetlands and groundwater-fed oases, the Atacama Desert was interspersed with riparian woodlands that provided vital resources (fuel, water, and game) at the end of the Pleistocene in areas such as the Pampa del Tamarugal (PdT) basin. We use anthracological analyses to deter…

  • Calibrating the pollen signal in modern rodent middens from northern Chile to improve the interpretation of the late Quaternary midden record

    Open Access•María Eugenia De Porras, Antonio Maldonado et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Research•2015

    The use of rodent middens from northern Chile as paleoecological archives has at times been questioned due to concerns about their biogenic origin and the degree to which their record represents vegetation composition rather than rodent habits. To address such concerns, we carried out a modern calibration study to assess the representation of vegetation by pollen records from rodent middens. We compared vegetation censuses with soil-surface and m…

  • How Do Surficial Lithic Assemblages Weather in Arid Environments? A Case Study from the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile

    Open Access•Paula C Ugalde, C M Santoro et al.•ARTICLE•Geoarchaeology•2015•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 17

    Archaeological sites composed only of surficial lithics are widespread in arid environments. Numerical dating of such sites is challenging, however, and even establishing a relative chronology can be daunting. One potentially helpful method for assigning relative chronologies is to use lithic weathering, on the assumption that the most weathered artifacts are also the oldest. Yet, few studies have systematically assessed how local environmental p…

  • Late Pleistocene human occupation of the hyperarid core in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile

    Open Access•Claudio Latorre, C M Santoro et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Science Reviews•2013

    Few archeological sites in South America contain uncontroversial evidence for when the first peopling of the continent occurred. Largely ignored in this debate, extreme environments are assumed either as barriers to this early wave of migration or without potential for past habitability. Here, we report on a rare 12–13 ka human occupation from Quebrada Maní (site QM12), a plantless, near rainless landscape (1240 m asl and 85 km from the Pacific O…

Based on previous research, and aided by human behavioral ecology principles, we assess hunter-gatherer behavioral s…

  • Late Pleistocene Fuel Management and Human Colonization of the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile

    Open Access•Delphine Joly, C M Santoro et al.•ARTICLE•Latin American Antiquity•2017•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 35

    Hunter-gatherers collected and used various woody species depending on the landscape, availability of plant communities, and sociocultural considerations. With extensive paleo-wetlands and groundwater-fed oases, the Atacama Desert was interspersed with riparian woodlands that provided vital resources (fuel, water, and game) at the end of the Pleistocene in areas such as the Pampa del Tamarugal (PdT) basin. We use anthracological analyses to deter…

  • The Neotoma Paleoecology Database, a multiproxy, international, community-curated data resource

    Open Access•John W Williams, Eric C Grimm et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Research•2018

    The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is a community-curated data resource that supports interdisciplinary global change research by enabling broad-scale studies of taxon and community diversity, distributions, and dynamics during the large environmental changes of the past. By consolidating many kinds of data into a common repository, Neotoma lowers costs of paleodata management, makes paleoecological data openly available, and offers a high-quality…

    El “Acta de Tarapacá” constituye un llamado de atención sobre la necesidad de cambiar la manera como las sociedades humanas han estado utilizando el agua en el Desierto de Atacama, mediante una perspectiva histórica a lo largo de milenios. El Acta, una iniciativa que resume los resultados del proyecto CONICYT/PIA Anillo SOC1405 “Cambios Sociales y Variabilidad Climática a Largo Plazo en el Desierto de Atacama”, está dirigida a la sociedad civil y…

  • In-stream wetland deposits, megadroughts, and cultural change in the northern Atacama Desert, Chile

    Open Access•Craig David Tully, Jason A Rech et al.•ARTICLE•Quaternary Research•2019

    A key concern regarding current and future climate change is the possibility of sustained droughts that can have profound impacts on societies. As such, multiple paleoclimatic proxies are needed to identify megadroughts, the synoptic climatology responsible for these droughts, and their impacts on past and future societies. In the hyperarid Atacama Desert of northern Chile, many streams are characterized by perennial flow and support dense in-str…

  • Marine Radiocarbon Reservoir Age Along the Chilean Continental Margin

    Open Access•Víctor Merino-Campos, Ricardo De Pol-Holz et al.•ARTICLE•Radiocarbon•2019•Citada por: 5•Referencias: 54

    We present 37 new radiocarbon ( 14 C) measurements from mollusk shells fragments sampled along the Chilean continental margin and stored in museum collections with known calendar age. These measurements were used to estimate the modern pre-bomb regional marine 14 C age deviations from the global ocean reservoir (∆R). Together with previously published data, we calculated regional mean ∆R values for five oceanographic macro regions along the coast…
