Pollen records from two archaeological sites with early human occupations have been analyzed. The pollen-derived environmental information from La Gruta lagoon 2, cave 1 and Chorrillo Malo 2 suggests that the initial occupation of areas south of the Deseado Massif and south of Lake Argentino corresponds to improved environmental conditions, related to greater moisture availability than previously.
