Division of labor and sex (in)equality among the marine hunter-fisher-gatherers of north-central Chile (5500–2000 cal BP)
Understanding the local historical trajectories of hunter-gatherers requires a close examination of sexual divisions, as they may undermine egalitarian politics and trigger processes of social differentiation. This study examines the diet (stable isotopes and dental pathologies) and burials of males and females interred at Punta Teatinos, a coastal site located in north-central Chile (5500–500 cal BP), which included a cemetery that was used betw…
Cazadores-recolectores-pescadores del Holoceno medio-tardío en el norte semiárido de Chile
La costa del Pacífico de los Andes meridionales tiene una larga historia ocupacional que muestra una diversificación regional hacia el Holoceno medio y tardío. La costa del centro norte de Chile tuvo una importante ocupación cazadora-recolectora entre 6000 y 2000 cal aP, que difiere de las observadas en áreas vecinas por sus características ambientales e históricas. Los estudios de contextos funerarios revelan que estos grupos experimentaron una …
Human Paleodemography and Paleoecology of the North Pacific Rim from the Mid to Late Holocene
Using 14 proxy human population time series from around the North Pacific (Alaska, Hokkaido and the Kuril Islands), we evaluate the possibility that the North Pacific climate and marine ecosystem includes a millennial-scale regime shift cycle affecting subsistence and migration. We develop both visual and statistical methods for addressing questions about relative population growth and movement in the past. We introduce and explore the use of a T…
Pacific walrus diet across 4000 years of changing sea ice conditions
Declining sea ice is expected to change the Arctic's physical and biological systems in ways that are difficult to predict. This study used stable isotope compositions (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of archaeological, historic, and modern Pacific walrus ( Odobenus rosmarus divergens ) bone collagen to investigate the impacts of changing sea ice conditions on walrus diet during the last ~4000 yr. An index of past sea ice conditions was generated using dinocy…

Maize ( Zea mays ) consumption in the southern andes (30°–31° S. Lat)
The popularization of maize in the SARNC was not associated with the appearance of pottery and/or sedentism, and its role as a dietary staple was a late phenomenon (c.a. 1,000CE). The results obtained in this study show that the adoption and consumption of maize varied dramatically in the Southern Andes.
Quantifying variability in stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios within the skeletons of marine mammals of the suborder Caniformia
Stable isotope ratios of bone collagen are commonly used to investigate foraging and movement of human and animal populations. This technique is especially valuable for archaeological and paleoecological applications, as bones are among the few tissues that are commonly preserved in archaeological and assemblages. Selection of skeletal elements for stable isotope analysis is typically driven by sample sizes and convenience, with the assumption th…
Antiquity and geographic distribution of cranial modification among the prehistoric groups of F uego‐ P atagonia, C hile
OBJECTIVES: Nineteenth and twentieth century documents testify that four ethnic groups, generally classified as terrestrial hunters or canoe nomads, inhabited Fuego-Patagonia. Archaeologically, however, their presence and temporal depth remains unknown. This study analyzes the antiquity and geographic distribution of cranial modification, a highly visible symbol of social identity, in Fuego-Patagonia, Chile, to assess whether it expressed ethnic …
The Paleo-Aleut to Neo-Aleut transition revisited
Reconstructing site organization in the eastern Aleutian Islands, Alaska using multi-element chemical analysis of soils
Changes in northeast Pacific marine ecosystems over the last 4500 years
Changes in food web dynamics and ocean productivity over the past 4500 years are investigated using stable isotope analysis of nitrogen and carbon in collagen from animal bones preserved in coastal archeological middens on Sanak Island, along the eastern edge of the Aleutian archipelgo. Samples included Steller sea lions, Harbor seals, Northern fur seals, sea otters, Pacific cod and sockeye salmon. Sea otters had the highest δ 13 C (−11.9 ± 0.7‰)…
