Resumen:
Northern Neuquén (Patagonia, Argentina) constitutes a void of archaeological informationwithin the context of current knowledge on the early human peopling of South America. This report stems from a regional survey project recently started in northern Neuquén,intended to bridge this gap. In particular, new research being conducted at the Cueva Huenul 1 site (CH1) provides stratified sequences of archaeological and paleontological remains spanning the late Pleistocene-early Holocene period. Although never published in any depth, this cave site was known to have excellent preservation conditions and a long temporal sequence with a date of 11,150 ± 230 RCYBP on a sediment sample whose stratigraphic context is unknown.
