Early human occupation in north-central Chile
Understanding early human occupation in the Americas requires the integration of multiple analytical scales and regional approaches to capture both broad and localized patterns. North-Central Chile is a key area for examining this process, as it is characterized by a Mediterranean environment in which desert and puna ecosystems are absent, in contrast to the northern Andes. Despite its significance, evidence for human occupation between 12,000–90…
Project Communication
The evolving landscape of research project communication in the digital age is the focus of the present entry. This text highlights the transformation of research into a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and global effort, emphasizing the role of the Internet in fostering teamwork and large‐scale investigations. Against this backdrop, the increasing relevance of visibility, productivity, accountability, digital identity, and networking in contemp…
Years of sustainable marine resource exploitation (and beyond) at Punta Teatinos, Chilean semi-arid north (30° Lat. S)
Sustainability is presented as a relevant form of resource management that can be approached by archaeology. Using the framework of socio-ecological systems (SES), seven indicators are proposed to infer multispecies sustainable coastal SES from the zooarchaeological record. This is tested by presenting the results of chronological and faunal analyses from Punta Teatinos, a shell midden in coastal north-central Chile. Three different modes of faun…
Dialogic markers in Ask an Expert webpages on environmental discourse
Scholars and scientists increasingly promote collaboration, accessibility and information sharing through digital media. One such communicative scenario for scientific dissemination is Ask an Expert practices, where specialised knowledge of societal relevance is exchanged between expert and non-expert users. Focusing on the discourse of climate change and environmental sustainability, this paper analyses a corpus of 80 texts from the Ask an Exper…
Investigating Recontextualisation Processes in Scientific Digital Practices
Scientific communication is exploiting innovative dynamics of research dissemination and knowledge transfer through digital platforms which allow for the wide circulation of disciplinary information for diversified audiences. Against this backdrop, recontextualisation is a key phenomenon, enhanced by medium-dependent affordances, the combination of semiotic modes and users’ discursive choices. In this paper, we present and justify the SciDis Data…
Hacia un entendimiento comparativo de los procesos de regionalización humana posglacial a lo largo de Chile
Terminal Pleistocene-Early Holocene human occupation in north-central Chile
While a clear human presence may be recognised in the Andes by 12 000-11 000 cal BP, most archaeological research has focused on occupation of the Andean highlands. To understand the initial occupation of inland areas of South America, the authors consider regional connections and spatial exploitation strategies of hunter-gatherers highlighted in a recent survey of Andean sites. Focusing on north-central Chile, artefacts and radiocarbon dates fro…
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 …
Comentarios a una datación del Holoceno Medio para el sitio La Fundición, Norte Semiárido de Chile (29°S)
La realización de una datación por radiocarbono de material proveniente del sitio La Fundición (29° S) ha permitido reconocer una ocupación humana del Holoceno Medio. En este trabajo, junto con presentar la fecha obtenida, discutimos las implicancias interpretativas y metodológicas de este resultado. En términos interpretativos, exploramos cómo la datación obtenida se inserta dentro de la actual discusión sobre uso del espacio y cronología durant…
Dialogic interaction with diversified audiences in Twitter for Research Dissemination Purposes
International research groups are expected to ensure global dissemination and visibility of their knowledge production, for which Twitter is effectively employed to reach diversified audiences. This paper analyses the dialogic dimension of tweets published in accounts of Horizon2020 research projects, where group’s productivity and work are promoted, and multiple readers addressed. Our study focuses on the use, in these Twitter accounts, of inter…
Rituales de la vida y de la muerte
We present the results of a regional study on the interaction between the Tawantinsuyu and low-inequality local communities that inhabited the Maipo-Mapocho rivers basin, Central Chile, during the Late Period (1.400 - 1.536 DC). Systematization and integration of previously unpublished data from several types of sites, suggests that this relationship would have been based on public ritual events involving acts of negotiation and redistribution. T…
Bedrock Mortars in the Semiarid North of Chile (30° S.)
Bedrock mortars recur in the record of many prehispanic communities. However, few studies discuss their relationship with social processes. In the present work, we discuss a regional study of bedrock mortars in the semiarid north of Chile, specifically the Limarí River basin (30° S). Using a combination of formal, spatial, contextual, archaeobotanical, and absolute dating analyses, we assess the chronology of bedrock mortars and how they related …
Making rock art under the Spanish empire
The production of rock art was a recurrent practice in pre-Colombian America and continued after the arrival of Europeans in AD 1540 and conquest by the Spanish Empire. Contact rock art associated with this historical moment is known in various regions of the Andes. The main focus of study has been through characterisation, defining relative chronologies and assessing which rock art images are attributable to Indigenous communities. In this work,…
Queros De Cerámica Y La Presencia Del Tawantinsuyu en La Cuenca De Los Ríos Aconcagua Y Mapocho, Extremo Sur Del Collasuyu
Este trabajo propone discutir las implicancias políticas y \nsociales de la presencia de queros en las cuencas de los ríos \nAconcagua y Mapocho, centro de Chile. Se describen las \ncaracterísticas formales, iconográficas y contextuales de tres \npiezas cerámicas tipo queros, las únicas de esta materialidad \nhalladas completas en Chile central hasta hoy. Estos resultados, \nsumados a la integración con información contextual de cada \nzona, sugi…
Dinámica Espacial Y Temporal De Las Ocupaciones Prehispánicas en La Cuenca Hidrográfica Del Río Limarí (30° Lat. S)
Este trabajo discute la secuencia de desarrollo histrico prehispnico en el Norte Semirido de Chile a partir del estudio de las dinmicas espaciales y temporales de las ocupaciones humanas en la cuenca hidrogrfica del ro Limar. A partir del estudio de asentamientos, materiales depositados en colecciones y arte rupestre se observa una secuencia de transformaciones y desarrollo desde el Arcaico Temprano hasta el perodo Incaico que diverge de lo tradi…
Un Tigre en El Valle
Se presentan los resultados de las investigaciones desarrolladas en el sitio incaico El Tigre, situado en la cuenca superior del ro Aconcagua, en la zona septentrional de Chile Central. Su conjunto arquitectnico monumental, su contexto material y el anlisis de su relacin con otras manifestaciones incaicas situadas en zonas adyacentes apuntan a un carcter mutifuncional del sitio, reflejado de manera preferente en su asociacin con la red vial y exp…
