![]() This is a different case although part of the information contained Politis publish regularly in English, the books containing detailed basic informationĪbout the early sites they study are in Spanish (Politis et al. We look further north into the Pampean region, where even if Mazzanti and especially That is, the local authors tend to present a greatĪmount of detailed information in Spanish, their native language. She also mentions two books in Spanish written by Gradin and Aguerre Patagonian sites: one by Bird (1988), edited by Hyslop, and another one by Dillehay In her introduction, Miotti mentions other books written in English that deal with important early My first comment is related to a characteristic of this book, apparently disconnected from its academic strength: the language chosen by the editors. That is to say, in no way can I claim to be an unbiased The authors of these papers have been my lifelong colleagues, and friends and someĮven have been my students. I have seen research progress throughout a great part of my career, as many of Workshop held in 2000 and hosted by Laura Miotti at the National University of La Memories about the site are related to the visit during the international INQUA This site has a very long occupational history, one of the longest recorded for Patagonia east of the Andes. Patagonian and American archaeology in general. In Alero Piedra Museo 1 (AEP-1), a site that is central to relevant issues concerning This book is the result of three decades of work at Piedra Museo locality and mainly It is likely that paleoenvironmental reconstructions of those runs with lengthy sediment records will produce new knowledge about paleoclimate, paleobiology, and more recent ecological change. Therefore, either saturation or inundation of Florida’s artesian spring runs was much more geographically and temporally variable than has been previously assumed. Radiocarbon dating of sediment cores indicated that many of these runs have accumulated organic material for thousands of years five of the fifteen spring runs contain organic material that pre-dates Holocene sea-level stabilization. We evaluated the extent and age of organic material accumulation in a broad sample of fifteen spring runs in central Florida. Substantial ecological changes within many of Florida’s spring runs over the past two decades have raised interest in the use of sediment core analyses to characterize the nature, extent, timing, and potential triggers of these changes. However, little paleoenvironmental work has been undertaken to test these assumptions. ![]() Low sea level and associated karstic aquifer drawdown have been assumed to have prevented artesian flow in current Florida spring systems throughout the Terminal Pleistocene. The origin of modern spring flow in Florida is generally presumed to correspond with sea-level stabilization at or near present levels during the Middle Holocene. A model of the possible route/s followed by the waves of colonizers who peopled northern South America and the lands beyond the equator in the southern hemisphere is also proposed. By comparing them from a morphological and technological viewpoint, and because of the observed similarities between North and South American fishtailed points, the hypothesis in this paper proposes that South American Fell points are related to similar ones from eastern North America. This group stands out, because with their narrow or broader blades, their lower portions typically have deeply indented concave edges, forming flaring rounded or pointed ears with fluted and unfluted bases which are reminiscent of the Fishtail. In order to discuss this issue, special attention has been paid among the existing varieties to a group distributed throughout eastern North America, mainly in states with a shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico. Different hypotheses have been proposed regarding its origin, mainly related to Paleoindian points from North America. One of the most iconic lithic remains from the South American Paleoindian record is the so-called Fishtail, or just “Fell” projectile point, a distinctive artifact that stands out due to its wide distribution from southern Mexico to southernmost South America. In archaeology, stone tool vestiges are one of the main pieces of evidence used for assessing the knowledge and understanding of this topic. ![]() In order to find out about and discuss the peopling of the Americas, there is evidence that comes from a range of scientific disciplines.
