Abstract
Abstract An integrative approach to archeological research requires an understanding of the associated environmental contexts. This chapter presents four examples of concurrences between human and environmental dynamics from South America. The first case analyzes the relationship between increased frequency of mega-Niño events and precolumbian mitigation strategies and occupation patterns in the Bolivian Amazon. The second case deals with human societies that intermittently inhabited the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert associated with the occurrence of wet or dry periods during the last 13,000 years BP. The third example presents the history of the hunter-gatherers in the Los Vilos area, on the subtropical coast of Chile, from the first inhabitants to the Spanish colonization, and changes in the patterns of settlement and mobility are jointly analyzed in relation to climate change. Finally, the mobility dynamics of hunter-gatherers in the Patagonian forest-steppe ecotone since 11,500 years BP are presented.
