Nuevas evidencias de cazadores recolectores terrestres del Holoceno medio y tardío en Tierra del Fuego : el sitio Cabo Monmouth 20.

Abstract

The Cabo Monmouth 20 site represents new evidence of Middle and Late Holocene occupations (ca. 5.000 years BP) for the north of Isla Grande, Tierra del Fuego. In this paper we evaluate archaeo- logical evidence from a test pit excavation, synthesize stratigraphic and contextual data, and present a new radiocarbon date (5,520 + 50 years BP) on shell material of anthropic origin. The latter confrms the antiquity of the site, highlighting the presence of archaeological deposits in a co-eval palaeosol.
