Resumen:
The discussion of human occupation in the southern Andes
during the mid-Holocene, centered on whether or not the
region was abandoned because of the increasing aridity that
has been identified by paleoecologists, has intensified since
the 1990s. Examining lithic technology, faunal remains, and
radiocarbon data, this paper explores the topic in light of the
archaeological variability exhibited in west-central Argentina
between 8,000 and 4,000 14C BP. Analysis of data in the spatial/
temporal archaeological record demonstrates significant regional
variability during the different stages of the mid-
Holocene and in the two contrasting environmental sectors
of the study area: the mountainous areas (cordilleras) and
plains. We propose that changes in occupation are correlated
with the greater aridity of certain environments.
