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…
On the historical mode of existence of rock art
This paper discusses a theoretical and methodological approach to exploring the historical dimension of rock art from a post-representational perspective. We propose that by making and experiencing rock art, a field of historical relations among humans, non-humans, materials, and places was woven, allowing the emergence of the affective properties of rock art and its historical mode of existence. This field of relations can be traced by reconstru…
Historia y modos de existencia de los cuerpos
Este artículo propone un marco teórico-metodológico para abordar la historicidad de los cuerpos en el Norte Semiárido de Chile durante tiempos prehispánicos. Partiendo de la noción de modos de existencia históricos, se plantea que los cuerpos deben entenderse como ensamblajes relacionales constituidos a partir de cuatro dimensiones: material, espacial, performática e incorpórea. La propuesta se ejemplifica a través del análisis de cuatro casos de…
Comensalismo político en Chile central
Christianity in the Rock Art of Australia and Chile
This article is an exploration of how Christian influences manifested in Indigenous rock art, comparing two distinct case studies: western Arnhem Land in northern Australia and the southern Andes in north-central Chile. The analysis aims to understand the intersection between Indigenous artistic traditions and the introduction of Christianity through European colonization. Our comparative analysis reveals significant regional differences. In west…
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…
Multi-isotope approach allows tracking the circulation of ceramics across the Andes (Argentina and Chile)
The circulation of material culture across space is a central topic in Andean archaeology and has witnessed significant growth during the last decades. Ceramics have been a part of this trend through the analysis of the abundance of chemical elements. Aiming at expanding ceramic sourcing and the study of large-scale conveyance of artefacts, we present the first multi-isotopic approach combining strontium, neodymium, and lead isotopes in South Ame…
A high-precision radiocarbon chronology of Inka rule in the Upper Loa River Region of northern Chile
The chronology of the Inka Empire is poorly resolved, with most scholars utilizing a post hoc ethnohistoric reconstruction of imperial expansion as a common reference point. Radiocarbon-based analyses can now accomplish sufficient resolution for meaningful independent estimates of Inka chronology, however, and it is incumbent upon archaeologists to develop such appraisals. Here we produce a Bayesian analysis of radiocarbon data from the Upper Loa…
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 …
The politics of provincial site planning and the architectural evolution of the Inka administrative center of Turi, northern Chile
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…
Making Rock Art
Ontología, modos de existencia y tecnologías
En este trabajo exploramos un acercamiento teórico-metodológico al registro arqueológico desde una mirada ontológica. Para ello proponemos un conjunto de premisas teóricas basadas en el hecho que toda práctica social es relacional, lo cual implica que, a través de ellas, y el habitar-en-el-mundo, se despliega todo un campo de relaciones históricamente posicionadas entre humanos y una serie de otros existentes (lugares, materias, seres). Al tener …
Rock paintings, soot, and the practice of marking places. A case study in North-Central Chile
The study of rock art production has been traditionally focused either on the tools used in the process and/or in the components of rock paintings. In this paper we consider the role of fire and soot as substances that participated in the dynamic process of rock art making by Late Holocene hunter-gatherers from the Limarí River Basin (North-Central Chile). Through Optical Microscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and SEM-EDS analyses, together with traditio…
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…

Andean Petroglyphs
Nurturing and Balancing the World
Technology has been a central theme in archaeological discussion. Different approaches have been developed in order to understand and better explain the processes that lead to the production of objects and things. The anthropology of technology has been one such effort, with its focus on technological style and thechaîne opératoire. In this paper we argue that, despite their many contributions, these approaches tend to isolate the process of prod…
Rock art, ontology and cosmopolitics in the Southern Andes
The affective and agentive capacities of other-than-humans have been widely assessed by archaeological approaches dealing with ancient and indigenous ontology. However, less attention has been given to how human, other-than-human and social practices were engaged in historical cosmopolitics. This paper aims to discuss how social practices related to rock art production and use, weaving a field of relations among carved rocks, landscapes, humans a…

Bone tools of Late Holocene hunter-gatherer-fishers of North-Central Chile
During the Late Holocene, important changes can be identified in the social dynamics of hunter-gatherer populations in different regions of the Southern Andes. These transformations are associated with processes of demographic growth, territoriality, increased social complexity, technological innovations, and intensified exploitation of the environment. One of the technological transformations associated with these processes is the popularization…
Maquetas inkaicas en Chiu-Chiu
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…

On-Site and post-site analysis of pictographs within the San Pedro Viejo de Pichasca rock shelter, Limarí Valley, North-Central Chile
First absolute dating of Andean hunter-gatherer rock art paintings from North Central Chile
Recognising strategies for conquered territories
In this detailed study of fifteenth-century settlements in Argentina, the authors show how the Inka did not just use force, production and ritual to subdue the indigenous population. The conquerors' strategy included the re-ordering of settlement plans, routeways and landscape, class separation and even the imposition of a rigorous discipline on the indigenous vision, controlling what could be seen looking out or looking in. The material readings…

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,…
Complejo Arquitectónico Cerro Mercachas
In this paper we discuss Inca occupation in the central zone of Chile, through the study of the biggest imperial site so far known in the area: the architectonical complex of Cerro Mercachas. An intra-site analysis was able to identify a linear and tripartite spatial organization of the site. Together with the scarce material culture identified, we suggest a ritual function for this site, related to festivities surrounding Inca metropolitan calen…

Relacionalidad, prácticas, ontologías y arte rupestre en el centro norte de Chile (2000 A.C. A 1.540 D.C.)
Las ontologías son sistemas relacionales inconscientes que se producen y reproducen a partir de un conjunto de prácticas y materialidades. A través de ellas, nociones claves a la vida social como el concepto de persona, y de comunidad se construyen históricamente, así como la misma idea de animación de los objetos.

Early Holocene Inland Occupation in the Semiarid North of Chile
The human occupation of the Pacific Rim of the southern Andes during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition was concentrated near the coast. The Pichasquita rockshelter in the Semiarid North of Chile, however, shows evidence of an early Holocene occupation of the inland mountains. This rockshelter functioned as a residential camp from which local fauna was exploited and vegetal resources were processed. Current information suggests early coastal gro…

Maize ( Zea mays ) consumption in the southern andes (30°–31° S. Lat)
The popularization of maize in the SARNC was not associated with the appearance of pottery and/or sedentism, and its role as a dietary staple was a late phenomenon (c.a. 1,000CE). The results obtained in this study show that the adoption and consumption of maize varied dramatically in the Southern Andes.
