Resumen:
On the basis of ethnographical information, it has long been thought that hunter-gatherers living at southern South America had very extensive home ranges of more than 250 kms, including both the coast and the interior. It was also proposed that this situation was similar in the past.
We use ecological information, lithic raw material provenance and isotopic information from human bones in order to evaluate the extension of home ranges of archaeological populations in Southern Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. The analysis points to variability in the extension of home ranges, both spatially and temporally.
