THE TEST OF COMPETING MODELS FOR THE PREHISTORIC PEOPLING OF THE AZAPA VALLEY, NORTHERN CHILE, USING MATRIX CORRELATIONS

This study reports biodistances from nonmetric dental traits for eleven mortuary samples -an Andean Paleoindian sample, a Tiwanaku sample, and nine from the Azapa Valley- to test three models for the prehistoric population dynamics of the Azapa Valley, Chile, using matrix correlation analysis of hyp...

description This study reports biodistances from nonmetric dental traits for eleven mortuary samples -an Andean Paleoindian sample, a Tiwanaku sample, and nine from the Azapa Valley- to test three models for the prehistoric population dynamics of the Azapa Valley, Chile, using matrix correlation analysis of hypothetical design matrices. These models include: (1) Tiwanaku colonization during the Middle Period, (2) simple gene flow over time, and (3) a modified gene flow model with coastal groups demonstrating genetic continuity while diverging from valley populations.
