AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
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.
