We present the results of an interdisciplinary study conducted at the Pedernales-5 site, situated in the Salar de Pedernales basin (26°S; 3356 masl), dated
from 10,510−10,749 to 11,201−11,612 cal. BP. Unlike other Late Pleistocene and Holocene sites in the Andean Puna, where vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna)
were the primary prey, at Pedernales-5, the zooa...
We present obsidian compositional data obtained by X-ray fluorescence analysis in the Andean highlands (25-27°S/68-69°W) of northern Chile. Seventy-six samples (n = 76) from three lithic sources and six archaeological sites were analyzed, covering a chronological sequence from 10,100 to 500 cal BP. Compositional analyses indicate the exploitation o...
Resumen Se presentan los resultados de las excavaciones y análisis de artefactos, ecofactos y arte rupestre del sitio Infieles-1, Puna de Atacama, Chile. Este sitio se emplaza adyacente a un paredón de ignimbrita con diversas manifestaciones rupestres. El análisis de estas pinturas y grabado, junto a la excavación realizada permitió identificar tre...
This article presents the results of excavations at the Infieles-1 site, located at 3529 m. a.s.l. in the Salar de Infieles (25 S), highlands of the Chile's southern Puna ecoregion. An initial human occupation was discovered next to an ignimbrite rock-shelter at a depth of 70e80 cm on top of a volcanic ash deposit, dated between 10,798 and 12,440 c...
This paper describes the fossil remains of the
appendicular and axial skeleton of a camelid, whose age at death was
approximately 11 months from gestation or 0 to 15 days from birth. The fossils
were recovered in the vicinity of Calama, in the gravel bed of the Salado River
within the Chiuchiu Formation, at an average altitude of 2,500 m.a.s.l. The...
This article presents the results of the interdisciplinary investigation in Quebrada Pedernales (26°S-69°W, Chile 3456 masl), in the highlands of northern Chile. The excavations and surveys carried out revealed a great diversity of pre-Hispanic evidence in an area of the Andes that has been little investigated. This evidence allowed us to reconstru...
We present new evidence obtained in archaeological surveys in Quebrada Pedernales (3356 masl), in the southern puna of Chile (26°S; 69°W). A series of surface findings such as large lanceolate stemmed projectile points and geometric stones, together with chronostratigraphic and artifactual data recovered in excavations at the Pedernales-38 site, su...
