Southern Patagonia:coastal versus interior human migration
Author(s): Luis Borrero; Fabiana María Martin; Manuel San Román; Flavia Morello; Dominique Todisco
Year: 2017
Summary
In spite of the ca. 14,000 Cal BP or more at 41º S, the oldest human occupations in southern Chile below 52º S are not easy to explain as a result of a Pacific coastal migration. The oldest Late Pleistocene occupations recorded at Ultima Esperanza and Tierra del Fuego are all focused on the exploitation of terrestrial resources and have ties with sites located in the eastern steppes, such as Fell Cave, Piedra Museo or Cerro Tres Tetas. The oldest maritime oriented human occupations of the western archipelagos are only of Mid-Holocene age. However, discussion is still open, since this region is still poorly explored.
