Abstract
dc.description.abstract
According to current thinking, the peopling of
South America involved a coastal as well as an
inland exploitation. Here the authors describe
a camp that may denote a transition between
the two. As indicated by bifacial tools, the
investigation shows that people began to move
inland and hunt mammals around 8500 cal
BP, perhaps in association with a change in
the climate.
