PREHISTORIC ATACAMEÑO CERAMIC STYLES AND CHRONOLOGY REASSESSED

Archaeology in San Pedro de Atacama (northern Chile) contributes significantly to our understanding of the Middle Horizon Tiwanaku polity, its iconography, regional interaction spheres, and other pivotal themes in Andean Studies. New AMS C14 dates, however, allow us to revisit San Pedro chronologica...
