  • Tracing Images, Shaping Narratives: Eight Decades of Rock Art Research in Chile, South America (1944–2024)

    Open AccessD Valenzuela, Indira Montt et al.ARTICLEArts2025

    80 years of Chilean rock art research, from its early descriptive stages in the 1940s to the present-day integration of relational ontologies, archaeometric techniques, and interdisciplinary perspectives, is reviewed. 562 publications are analysed, covering four major regions: the Arid North, Semi-Arid North, South-Central, and Southernmost Chile. Drawing from a systematically constructed corpus, we trace the evolution of research questions, theo…

  • Geoglifos Hispanicos Del Desierto De Atacama (Norte De Chile)

    Open AccessLautaro Núñez Atencio, Luis Briones Morales et al.ARTICLEDiálogo andino2022

    Un examen prospectivo entre el valle de Camarones y el río Loa (norte de Chile) ha permitido identificar una red de rutas caravaneras prehispánicas internodales. Se asocian a geoglifos vinculados con las comunidades locales del periodo Intermedio Tardío (900-1450 d.C.). Hasta ahora no se habían registrado temas hispánicos complejos. Al respecto se presenta un sitio multicomponente con diseños vinculados a la cultura regional Pica-Tarapacá, inca e…

  • Caravans of the North: A Comparison of 20 Th C Caravans in Northern Canada and Northern Chile

    Open AccessPersis B ClarksonARTICLEChungara2019

    An examination of the historic caravans of northern Canada in the 20 th c reveals compelling historical, technological, economic, social, political, and kinship comparisons to the developments of caravans in northern Chile in the 20 th c. In Canada, the transport of goods across the northern reaches of the prairie provinces was spurred by mining and logging interests, and began with horses and donkeys, subsequently shifting to gasoline engine pow…

    La incorporacin de la astronoma en los ritos y sitios en la regin Andina est bien documentada en las pocas de pre y postcontacto. En el Norte de Chile, a una escasa arquitectura monumental pretrita y una exigua documentacin indgena, han contribuido a su vez a una incompleta informacin correspondiente al uso de la astronoma por la gente antigua. La abundancia de geoglifos en la regin est asociada a los antiguos senderos caravaneros, donde la mayor…

  • New Chronometric Dates for the Puquios of Nasca, Peru

    Open AccessPersis B Clarkson, Ronald I DornARTICLELatin American Antiquity1995Cited by: 4References: 28

    Numeric age assessments of organic material encapsulated by rock varnish present on stone lintels of two "puquios" in the Nasca region of the south coast of Peru indicate a Precolumbian age. Accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon analyses at the Isotrace Laboratory revealed ages of cal A. D. 560(620)650 and cal A. D. 600(640)660 (1 sigma). These calibrated measurements are considered to be appropriate in the context of the archaeological settl…

  • New Approach to the Radiocarbon Dating of Rock Varnish, with Examples from Drylands

    Ronald I Dorn, Persis B Clarkson et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the Association of…1992Cited by: 21References: 31

    New electron microscope observations reveal that organic inclusions are often trapped in pockets under rock varnish. Accelerator radiocarbon dating of subvarnish organic detritus provides a new method of constraining when a rock was exposed by cultural or geomorphic processes. Applications are exemplified for human artifacts and landforms found in drylands. Three radiocarbon dates from 30,000 to 36,000 yr B.P. indicate rock engravings in South Au…
