Palaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile - Cartajena, Isabel; Grosjean, Martin; Nuñez, Lautaro
Palaeoindian occupation of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile has been found
between 12 600 and 10 200 cal. yr BP. The new site at Salar Punta Negra (24 280S/60 530W/
2976 m) includes about 1000 classifiable, mostly unifacial artefacts and, uniquely, three different
diagnostic types of early projectile points. Two of the Lateglacial/early Holocene projectile types
have wide distribution and are known from different geographical areas in South America: the
Palaeoindian ‘Fell’ fish-tail point mainly from the southern cone of South America, and the triangular
‘Tuina’ points typical of the Puna of the south-central Andes in northern Chile and northwestern
Argentina. In addition, we found a...

CAUSALIDAD O CONCURRENCIA, RELACIONES ENTRE CAMBIOS AMBIENTALES Y SOCIALES EN LOS CAZADORES RECOLECTORES DURANTE LA TRANSICIÓN ENTRE EL HOLOCENO MEDIO Y TARDÍO (COSTA DEL SEMIÁRIDO DE CHILE) - Méndez Melgar, César A.; Jackson Squella, Donald
Palaeoenvironmental research along the Chilean semiarid coast line (31 degrees 50'S) has revealed interesting contemporaneous trends in the transition from and to humid phases, and differences in intensity of human occupation in the area. Even though environmental variation is contemporary to changes in settlement and mobility patterns, these do not fully explain modifications observed in the archaeological record. In this paper we discuss settlement patterns and mobility during Mid to Late Holocene, a well-documented period from the local pollen record (post similar to 6, 100 cal. years B.P.), on the basis of contextual variables, radiocarbon chronology, zooarchaeological record and artifact...
