Part of the South American Archaeology Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Magallania defines the region between the Santa Cruz river basin to the north and the Fuegian expression of the Andes to the south.
It is one of the southernmost spaces in the world and the last to be occupied by humans, a process that occurred at least at the end of the Pleistocene (11,000 to 9,000 AP) and before the complete formation of the Strait of Magellan (ca. 8000 AP). Thereafter, the Strait functioned as a biogeographic barrier, creating conditions for divergent cultural evolution between the populations of the mainland and Tierra del Fuego.
For this reason, the archeology of Magallania offers a unique possibility to inquire about the relationship between the environmental dynamics and the spatial organization of populations of hunter-gatherers settled on both sides of the Strait of Magellan.
Spanish Description: En su version original, Magallania es el nombre acunado por Martinic para definir la region comprendida entre la cuenca del rio Santa Cruz al norte hasta la expresion fueguina de la cordillera de los Andes al sur.
Es uno de los espacios mas australes del mundo y de los ultimos en ser ocupados por humanos, proceso que ocurrio al menos a fines del Pleistoceno (11.000 a 9.000 AP) y antes de la completa formacion del estrecho de Magallanes (ca. 8000 AP). A partir de entonces el Estrecho funciono como una barrera biogeografica, creando condiciones para que ocurra la evolucion cultural divergente entre las poblaciones del continente y la Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego.
Por este motivo, la arqueologia de Magallania ofrece una posibilidad unica para indagar acerca de la relacion entre la dinamica ambiental y la organizacion espacial de las poblaciones de cazadores recolectores asentadas a un lado y otro del estrecho de Magallanes.
