Resumen:
Northern Neuquén (Patagonia, Argentina) constitutes a void in our currentknowledge of the early human peopling of South America (Borrero 2008).This report stems from a regional survey project recently started in northernNeuquén that was intended to bridge this gap. In particular, new researchbeing conducted at the Cueva Huenul 1 site (CH1) provides stratified sequencesof archaeological and paleontological remains spanning the late-Pleistocene/early-Holocene period (Figure 1). Although never published inany depth, this cave site was known to have excellent preservation conditionsand a long temporal sequence, with a date of 11,150 ± 230 RCYBP (AC-0010)on a sediment sample whose stratigraphic context is unknown (Cordero et al.2002).
