Central Argentina vegetation characteristics linked to extinct megafauna and some implications on human populations
In this paper we study the relationships between plants and extinct megafauna by examining the characteristics of the vegetation in the central region of Argentina (i.e. Espinal, Monte, and Chaco phytogeographic regions). First, we study the size, shape, quantity, and characteristics of fruits and seeds. We also evaluate the presence of mechanical (spinescence and wood density) and chemical (secondary metabolic compounds) defenses against high ra…
Inferring past demographic changes at different spatial scales in Northwest Patagonia and central‐south Chile
In this study, we compare the patterns of demographic changes in populations from Northwest Patagonia and central‐south Chile throughout the Late Pleistocene–Holocene obtained from absolute dates with those resulting from molecular genealogies. We have found that temporal distributions of frequencies of absolute dates constitute a more sensitive demographic indicator than molecular data to make inferences at small spatial scales in the region. Mo…
Spatio-temporal demographic dynamics of the human populations from Northwest Patagonia and central Chile during the Pleistocene-Holocene
Summer Camps Location and Distribution of Archaeological Sites in North Neuquén (Northwest Patagonia)
We study the bioclimatic and landscape characteristics of summer camps of modern transhumant herders from North Neuquén to generate a distribution model of upland areas suitable for herding and project their spatial distribution throughout the Holocene. With this aim, we analyzed ethnographic, bioclimatic and landscape data using habitat suitability models. The location of different types of archaeological sites was then compared with the project…
Craniofacial variation, body size and ecological factors in aboriginal populations from central Patagonia (2000–200 years B.P.)
Dieta y variación morfológica craneofacial en poblaciones humanas del golfo San Matías (Patagonia, Argentina)
El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la variacin morfolgica craneofacial de las poblaciones humanas que habitaron la costa rionegrina del golfo San Matas (Patagonia, Argentina), y reas vecinas, durante el Holoceno tardo (3.000-400 aos AP) y su relacin con cambios en la dieta. El registro arqueolgico de esta regin se caracteriza por presentar informacin detallada de los contextos ecolgicos que permite establecer cambios en la dieta a partir de …
