This paper presents the recent results of the archaeological research that aims to approach to the occupational dynamics of Moreta settlement (Jujuy Puna, Argentina), including the uses of space and productive practices carried out during the long temporary lapse in which it was inhabited. According to these results, this site was occupied at least since the second half of the first millennium A.D. until colonial times. This long occupation, including an important chicha presence and Inka dominion, along with the evidence indicating the development of agriculture, pastoral and metallurgical activities, show the relevance Moreta has to the understanding of the human occupation of this sector of Argentinean Northwest and its related practices.

This article discusses the history of the human colonization of South America through a macrohistorical analysis. The author comments on the development of agricultural systems, including the use of so-called Old World crops, such as potatoes, corn, and cassava. He cites his book "The Colombian Exchange," which details the environmental history of Colombia dating from 50,000 years ago. He also considers the process of the domestication of animals, the introduction of disease from Europe after the discovery of the region by Christopher Colombus in 1492.

The Atacama Desert (from Arica to Taltal, 18°-25° S), one of the driest environments on Earth, has been considered an inhospitable habitat and hence a major barrier for the hunter and gatherer groups that migrated to South America at the end of the Pleistocene. Recent paleoecological and geomorphologic data, summarized here, show that during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition (ca. 17,500-9500 cal BP) some sectors of the Atacama were much wetter and had greater bioproductivity than today, factors that increase the possibilities of finding early American sites. Here, we first describe the current environment of the Atacama and compare it to past environmental conditions. Second, we present our results that show archaeological evidence for the human colonization of the hyperarid coast (0-900 masl), the intermediate depression (900-2200 masl), the precordillera (2200-3500 masl) and the altiplano (>3500 masl). Finally we discuss some of the possible migratory routes for the peopling of South America. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We discuss faunal and contextual information of four late Pleistocene archaeological sites (Tagua Tagua 1 and 2, Quebrada Santa Julia, and Valiente) of Central-North Chile (~31° to 35° S). We synthesize available taxonomy, anatomical parts represented, evidences of anthropogenic marks, taphonomic aspects, and associated contexts. This assessment shows the behavioral variability of bone assemblages with regards to site functions. We suggest that models of transport and discard of anatomical parts of large and medium-sized prey were seldom patterned and very variable among late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in these latitudes of South America.
