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...
Physical violence and social conflict have been widely studied in the ancient societies of the Andes. However, studies about violence are scarce for the Formative period of northern Chile (1000 BC–AD 900). Evidence from these investigations is generally interpreted as interpersonal violence, whose protagonists are mostly men. Here, we present the c...
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...
Results of the zooarchaeological analysis of the Pedernales-1 site are presented. The site is located at 3.379 m.a.s.l. in the Pedernales salt flat (Atacama Region, Chile), dated in 2,964-3,206 cal. years BP for the earliest component and 539-634 cal. years. BP for the later component. The faunistic record is mainly composed by remains of vicuñas (...
This article presents the results of radiocarbon datings and stable isotopes analyses ( 13 C, 15 N, and 18 O) of seven individuals, four infants and three adults recovered from pre-Hispanic mortuary contexts in the Andean foothills of the Atacama Region (Chile). The datings obtained and contextual data suggest that the mortuary contexts correspond...

Resumen: La deformación intencional del cráneo ha sido uno de los rasgos culturales más estu-diados por la antropología física para comprender los procesos de interacción social y cambio cultural de las poblaciones que la practicaron. Se han desarrollado distintas propuestas para clasificar las variantes de deformación, principalmente a partir de l...
The Formative Period in Tarapacá (Atacama Desert, 1st Region, Chile) is characterized by profound social, economic and ideological changes, as well as technological innovations in pottery and the beginning of agriculture in the Pampa of Tamarugal (Muñoz et al. 2016). This is well represented in the Caserones village (site Cas-1), and its associated...
