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…
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…
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 …
