Resumen Pese a los últimos eventos de la contingencia y el debate público que han situado el interés académico en la relación entre ciencia y política en Chile, la arqueología se ha mantenido relativamente ajena a estas discusiones. En el presente trabajo buscamos revertir esta lejanía, proponiendo una reflexión en torno a la principal institución...

The object of the present article is to study the relations between the forms of knowledge production in archaeology and the existing systems of publication in academic journals. We explore the predominant criteria in peer-review processes and the relative importance of their epistemological dimension. The results are discussed in terms of the soci...

http://repositorio.uchile.cl/handle/2250/178592. Las discusiones sobre la intensificación en el uso de recursos marítimos por las comunidades arcaicas que habitaron las costas arréicas del desierto de Atacama en la zona de Taltal, descansan mayoritariamente en interpretaciones del registro ictiológico y malacológico, ante la escasa presencia relat...

Hunter‐gatherers’ architectural practices are one of the main topics to understand the entangled land use of these societies. In the hyperarid Atacama Desert coast (Northern Chile), hunter‐gatherers‐fishers developed standardized stone‐built architecture during the Late Archaic period (∼5,700–4,000 cal years BP), interpreted so far as sedentary vil...

Early inhabitants along the hyperarid coastal Atacama Desert in northern Chile developed resilience strategies over 12,000 years, allowing these communities to effectively adapt to this extreme environment, including the impact of giant earthquakes and tsunamis. Here, we provide geoarchaeological evidence revealing a major tsunamigenic earthquake t...

En este texto se presenta una nota sobre el desarrollo de trabajos de observación y registro de carcasas animales en dos espacios ecológicos diferentes, separados por escasos kilómetros pero con notorias diferencias en términos de altitud, humedad, temperatura, radiación solar y salinidad. El trabajo de observación tiene por objetivo detectar, desd...

The site GNL Quintero 1 (GNLQ1) in coastal central Chile, as the sole submerged Late Pleistocene site in the south-eastern Pacific. Makes its faunal assemblage a key source to study underwater taphonomic dynamics, particularly in submerged terrestrial contexts. GNLQ1 deposit its associated with underwater freshwater and saltwater exposure condition...

The taphonomic evaluation of zooarchaeological assemblages is paramount for compelling interpretations of past subsistence strategies, palaeoecological interactions and overall biasing of the anthropic bone deposition and modification by non-anthropic agents. A recent trend in this field, has focused on bone surface modifications (BSM) to successfu...

The earliest architectonic features found in the desertic coast of Chile appear between 5600- 4500 years Cal. B.P. dominating the coastal fringe across the second half of the Mid- Holocene. The buildings, circular stone features with ashen floors, are dug into middens ascribed to the first half of the mid-Holocene (7500-5500 Cal. A.P.). Their ubiqu...
