Este análisis tuvo por objetivo entender la organización espacial del sitio, el cual corresponde a un campamento de cazadores-recolectores orientado al procesamiento de animales, entre otras actividades. El conjunto de análisis realizados apunta a una ocupación no estival y reiterada del sitio desde el 3.200 hasta los 2.500 años a.p., con una organización espacial relacionada a actividades de procesamiento, descarte y transporte principalmente de guanacos, junto a la confección y preparación de artefactos líticos de apropiación.

Cumulative research shows an almost uninterrupted presence of mobile hunter-fisher-gatherer communities throughout the Holocene in North-Central Chile (29°–32° S). However, local-scale differences reveal the variability that is concealed by this broad characterization. Recent research in El Teniente Bay (31° S) shows few sites and occupations suggestive of low occupational redundancy as well as reduced archaeological assemblages, indicating limited activities in this landscape. However, several occupations date to the middle Holocene, a period when discontinuities in human occupations in response to adverse environmental conditions have been suggested on regional and supraregional scales. The main occupations detected at El Teniente are interpreted as a response to such conditions and in the context of changes in land u...

few sites and occupations suggestive of low occupational redundancy as well as reduced archaeological assemblages, indicating limited activities in this landscape. However, several occupations date to the middle Holocene, a period when discontinuities in human occupations in response to adverse environmental conditions have been suggested on regional and supraregional scales. The main occupations detected at El Teniente are interpreted as a response to such conditions and in the context of changes in land use. Despite the spottiness of the archaeological record of El Teniente Bay, it is important in terms of its chronology and the differing trends in the use of space in comparison to other areas that have been the focuses of research. This paper addresses the archaeological record of El Teniente Bay and discusses its implications for human land use in the wider area of the coast of North-Central Chile.

Here we present the zooarchaeological analysis of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) remains recovered from the Late Archaic occupation in the MAU085 site, located in the Mauro Valley, in the semi-arid north of Chile. The aim of this study is to understand the spatial organization of this hunter-gatherer site mainly focused on animal processing activities. The results suggest a redundant seasonal (non estival) occupation of the site between 3,200 to 2,500 yr BP, showing a marked spatial organization related principally to guanaco processing, transport and disposal activities together with the elaboration and preparation of lithic appropriation artifacts.
