Abstract
Abstract The area between the Pacific coast and the Andes mountain chain in South America was examined as a potential corridor enabling early latitudinal movement of and colonization by hunter-gatherers. Selected features of the archaeological sites dated earlier than 11,500 cal BP were used to discuss some of the current debates concerning the early peopling of the region. Key issues are environmental variability and the production of organic datable material, the differential representation of types of sites, the antiquity of the bioarchaeological record, subsistence choices, and technological diversity. A defendable 13,000 cal BP marker for occupation across this corridor suggests an even earlier initial occupation, but the date of the first human presence is still a matter of contention.
