Resumen:
The Fueguian archipelago, dominated by three major islands, namely Tierra del Fuego, Dawson and Navarino, is located in the southernmost end of South America and was peopled by hunter-gatherer societies since c. 10.500 BP and until the twentieth century. Sea coastline areas have evidence of specialized marine adaptation since c. 7.000 BP, including navigation. Ethnohistoric and ethnographic records account for an overlapping network area of three groups: selk´nam land hunters, alacaluf or kawésqar from central-western Patagonia and yámana or yaghan, south of Beagle channel, the latter two groups being defined as specialized maritime nomads.The subsistence dichotomy between terrestrial/marine and pedestrian/canoe has restrained research and comprehension of the archaeological record. A broad comparison of cultural interaction data from the Middle and Late Holocene archaeological record is developed, focusing on lithic technological traits (e.g. Levallois core reduction method) and raw material distribution (e.g. obsidians and Miraflores rocks)
