Caleta Huelén-42: Revaluación de un sitio con arquitectura de cazadores-recolectores-pescadores del Desierto de Atacama, norte de Chile
Caleta Huelén-42 es uno de los sitios más relevantes para comprender la emergencia de arquitectura y procesos de complejización social de cazadores recolectores marítimos del Desierto de Atacama. A pesar de su importancia, la información estratigráfica y contextual es escasa y difícil de evaluar en las síntesis regionales producto de la interrupción de sus investigaciones hace 50 años. Este trabajo reanuda los estudios del sitio, y se orienta a d…
El Interfluvio Petorca-Quilimarí 30 años después: Ocupaciones del Holoceno Medio y Tardío en Huaquén (32°21’ lat. S), costa central de Chile
Examining an area between two zones that research historically regarded separately-Central Chile and the country's semi-arid north-presents an opportunity to consider, on several socio-spatial scales, the various degrees and characteristics of integration shown by the communities in question. In this article, we use excavation and material analyses from seven archaeological sites in Huaquén, located to the north of the Petorca and La Ligua river …
Remains of fill and floor? contextual taphonomy in a semi-subterranean structure in the hyperarid coast of the Atacama Desert, Chile
Architectural features and shell-matrix sites are one of the most challenging records for archaeological interpretation, due to their intricate stratification and complex depositional paths. In the hyperarid coast of the Atacama Desert, hunter-gatherer-fisher developed standardized stone-built architectural features mostly built on or directly related to shell-matrix deposits during the Late Archaic period (5700 – 4000 cal. years B.P.). These str…
Arqueología del Cantón El Toco. Trasladando la frontera de lo visible a partir de los estudios de impacto ambiental
La arqueología del salitre desarrollada en los últimos 15 años ha contribuido a “hacer visibles” una serie de materialidades, agentes, prácticas y/o procesos sociales difíciles de identificar o poco investigados desde la documentación escrita, contribuyendo a la investigación histórica en búsqueda de una comprensión integral del ciclo salitrero en el actual norte de Chile. El renovado interés que ha despertado la arqueología salitrera en la actua…
Patologías congénitas y defectos del desarrollo en poblaciones arqueológicas en la costa desértica de Antofagasta: Reflexiones Sobre Su Origen a Partir De Casos De Estudio
This article presents a synthesis and discussion regarding congenital pathologies and developmental defects identified in the axial skeletons of individuals from different archaeological periods on the Antofagasta coast. Despite the small number of cases in the analyzed sample (n = 6), the research compares that figure with the cases reported for the coastal area of Arica and Tarapacá, revealing no statistically significant differences between th…
Fish vertebrae as archeological biomarkers of past marine ecological conditions: Comparison of mercury levels in Chilean swordfish between the Middle Holocene and the modern period
The ocean has always been a source of inspiration for past and present civilizations, especially for those involved in fishing activities. The regular fishing of large pelagic fish by past societies using harpoons has been demonstrated, with several studies reporting the discovery of an important fishery of large pelagic fish (including swordfish) dating from as early as the sixth millennium BCE on the North Chilean Pacific Coast. The swordfish (…
Soils in ancient irrigated agricultural terraces in the Atacama Desert, Chile
The Atacama Desert is among the driest places on Earth, yet ancient agricultural systems are present in the region. Here, we present a study of terraced agricultural soils in the high‐altitude eastern margin of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile, mainly dating to the Late Intermediate Period (ca. 950–1400 AD) and Inka period (ca. 1400–1536 AD). Terraced fields were compartmentalized to distribute limited irrigation water originating mainly from…
Ritual stone‐built architecture and shell midden foundation: A semisubterranean structure in hyperarid Atacama Desert coast, Northern Chile
Hunter‐gatherer architectural practices are one of the main sources of data to understand the complex land use of these societies. In the hyperarid Atacama Desert coast (Northern Chile), hunter‐gatherers‐fishers developed standardized stone‐built architecture during the Late Archaic period (∼5,700–4,000 cal years BP), interpreted so far as sedentary villages or long‐term campsites. Nevertheless, the lack of site formation process studies and syst…
Estudio arqueomineralógico de las menas de cobre prehispánicas en Collahuasi, norte de Chile
Northern Chile is known for its large-scale contemporary copper exploitation. Archaeological evidence indicates that such exploitation is not only a modern occurrence but has been ongoing since at least the Late Archaic Period. In order to identify the raw mineral materials used in pre-Hispanic mining and metallurgical production processes we performed an automated mineralogy analysis (QEMSCAN). The samples are from the Collahuasi mining-metallur…

Maquetas inkaicas en Chiu-Chiu: Paisaje y ritualidad agraria en el desierto de Atacama
Sculpted stone models or maquetas are a distinctive material expression of the inca occupation of the Atacama Desert. In this paper, we characterize a site with stone maquetas located along the Loa River above the town of Chiu-Chiu. Based on its formal attributes, the site can be dated to the Inca period. We consider the site's internal spatial organization and relationship with the landscape to discuss how the maquetas acted as intermediaries be…
From the use of space to territorialisation during the Early Holocene in Taltal, coastal Atacama Desert, Chile
Metalurgia en San Pedro de Atacama Durante el Período Medio: Nuevos Datos, Nuevas Preguntas
Dentro del escenario sociopolítico de los Andes del Sur, parecen existir a lo menos dos tradiciones metalúrgicas que coexisten durante el Período Medio. La primera propiamente altiplánica, centrada en torno al estado de Tiwanaku y la segunda en el noroeste argentino, caracterizada por la metalurgia Aguada. Paralelamente, desde el Período Medio se observa un notable aumento de la presencia de objetos metálicos en San Pedro de Atacama, los cuales a…
