Resumen:
The archaeological knowledge of the late Pleistocene-early Holocene human occupations in the Pampean Region has improved through the finding of new archaeological sites dated between 10,000 and 11,200 BP. Among these sites, Paso Otero 5 is characterized by the presence of extinct megamammals and modern species in association with fish tail projectile points chronologically located between ca. 10,400-10,200 years BP. The aim of this paper is twofold: 1) to discuss the chronology, faunal remains and lithic technology trends of the site and 2) to integrate this information with the knowledge of the pampean region early sites.
