• An archaeological study reveals how ancient hunter-gatherer groups lived-and survived-more than a thousand years ago in the transition zone between the Pampas and Patagonia in Argentina. • The research, carried out by Martínez and colleagues, focuses on the Zoko Andi 1 site (ZA1), located on the lower basin of the Colorado River, a key location for understanding the daily life of these early settlers in the south. • The work is published in the journal Latin American Antiquity.
Article Summaries:
- Archaeologists led by Martínez have published new findings in Latin American Antiquity that shed light on the diet and survival strategies of hunter‑gatherer groups living over a thousand years ago in the transition zone between Argentina’s Pampas and Patagonia. The study focuses on the Zoko Andi 1 (ZA1) site, situated on the lower basin of the Colorado River. Excavations at ZA1 reveal evidence of diverse food procurement and processing techniques, offering a clearer picture of daily life for early settlers in the southern region. The research underscores the importance of this site for understanding how these communities adapted to their environment.
