Long-term occupation of bofedales ecosystems by high-Andean hunter-gatherers in the Dry Puna, northern Chile

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This project employs a geoarchaeological approach to explore human occupation of the highland wetlands ( bofedales ) and salt flats of the Dry Puna of northern Chile (>2500m above sea level) during the Holocene. Differences in the archaeological record of each ecosystem are tentatively suggested to relate to settlement patterns and the history of the landscape.
