“…; Betancourt et al ., ; Latorre et al ., , 2003, 2006; Rech et al ., , 2010). The widespread abandonment of early Archaic hunter‐gatherers of the Salar de Atacama basin is part of the socio‐environmental discontinuity termed the ‘ silencio arqueológico ’ (archaeological silence) (Núñez et al ., , ). Grosjean et al () proposed that this archeological gap in the Central Atacama was caused by very dry ‘average conditions’ (more arid than today) ∼9–4 ka, interrupted by a century‐scale humid interval around ca .…”

“…The regional increased aridity that began during the early Holocene and intensified during the middle Holocene (Abbott et al, 2003;Baker and Fritz, 2015;Barberena, 2015;Marsh, 2015;Méndez et al, 2015;Núñez et al, 2013) would explain why the early foraging network that included Cueva Bautista was discontinued, and the site not reoccupied until the late Holocene. Similarly, QM12, Tuina-1, and Tuina-5 were also abandoned between the early and late Holocene, as other localities within the south central Andes became more attractive (Núñez et al, 2013;Pintar, 2014). Only later, when supported by new technological and economic systems based on camelid pastoralism, and tuber and chenopod cultivation, did human groups settle in the Altiplano high-altitude environments permanently.…”

“…hubo una disminución en las ocupaciones cazadoras-recolectoras y una dispersión hacia hábitats nuevos, como las quebradas de Tulán y Puripica. Sin embargo, no hubo un completo abandono de la región, sino que grupos humanos se desplazaron hacia hábitats con aguadas y sistemas de ríos donde la oferta de recursos se mantuvo estable (Núñez et al 2013). Estas áreas han sido denominadas refugios ecológicos.…”

“…En este sentido, debe resaltarse la diferencia de escala entre la Puna de Atacama y la región de Antofagasta de la Sierra, que es de tamaño mucho menor (2.500 km 2 ). Otra diferencia que debe recalcarse es que si bien CS1 no fue ocupada durante el Holoceno Temprano, en esta región se registran tempranas ocupaciones en sitios próximos, entre 1,5 y 8 km de CS1 (Figura 1 (Grosjean et al 2007), en Antofagasta de la Sierra no hubo una disminución en la densidad de ocupaciones y de vestigios arqueológicos durante el final del Holoceno Temprano y comienzos del Holoceno Medio, apoyando la propuesta que el concepto de Silencio Arqueológico se aplica al área central de la Puna de Atacama, que fue más vulnerable a los cambios climáticos del Holoceno Medio (Núñez et al 2013).…”
