SEQUENTIAL ANALYSIS OF HUMAN OCCUPATION PATTERNS AND RESOURCE USE IN THE ATACAMA DESERT

This paper presents a chronological sequence of human occupation from the end of the Pleistocene to the present day in the Atacama Desert, one of the most barren territories of the New World. The occupational sequence covers a period of 11,000 years of prehistory, in which distinct patterns of resou...
