Description
Summary:In this paper we present paleoenvironmental evidence of the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene in order to understand the process of human settlement in the Puna region of Argentina. We will analyze chronological evidence and the archaeological record of early hunter-gatherer occupations dated between 10,500 to 9000 BP (12,500 to 10,000 cal BP). Finally, we discuss specific cultural and environmental aspects related to the human dispersion and colonization of the altiplano zone. === En este trabajo se presentan las evidencias paleoambientales de finales del Pleistoceno y comienzos del Holoceno con el fin de entenderel proceso de poblamiento humano en la región de la Puna de Argentina. Se analizarán las evidencias relacionadas con lacronología y el registro arqueológico de las ocupaciones tempranas de cazadores-recolectores datadas entre 10.500 AP hasta 9000 AP (12.500-10.000 cal AP). Por último, discutiremos aspectos culturales y ambientales específicos vinculados con la dispersión y colonización humana del espacio altiplánico.
