PALEOCLIMATIC AND MATERIAL CULTURAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE FORMATIVE PERIOD OF NORTHERN CHILE

The recent development of a macrophysical paleoclimatic modeling methodology allows the reconstruction of site-specific models of Holocene precipitation and temperatures with a temporal resolution of 200 years intervals back to 14,000 B.P. Where suitable modern analogue data are available, rain inte...
