Abstract
Santoro and Nuñez present some models to '…account for the Archaic Period occupations of the Dry and Salt Punas of northern Chile and southern Peru…[and] review…the ecological conditions and the archaeological data …to stimulate further testing of these…models of Archaic settlement and subsistence patterns.' (page 79). The authors examine the different environments and present a summary of the archaeological data to discuss subsistence (with most of the archaeological data showing evidence of hunting), possible annual cycles and settlement patterns.
