“…The open‐air site Punta Motaite is associated to engraved and painted rock art motifs included camelids with ropes around their necks, anthropomorphic figures among camelids, and human characters wearing complex attire. These motifs denote a strong, close relationship between people and camelids (Yacobaccio et al, ).…”

This paper presents a multiproxy analysis—geomorphology, organic matter, and carbonate content, diatoms, pollen, and magnetic properties of sediments—of the Barrancas Pueblo profile, located in Barrancas, Jujuy, Argentina (S 23°18′08,7; W 66°05′15,2; 3666 m.a.s.l.) to explore local environmental change over the last few millennia. This study is part of a broader investigation of the environmental conditions that facilitated and/or triggered the development of a mixed herding and hunting economic strategy during the late Holocene. The results suggest ongoing local moisture availability for most of the late Holocene; between 2400 and 1500 BP there was a stable, low energy environment that supported a vegetated floodplain, resulting in high availability of pasture and water. However, throughout most of the studied period, there were punctual arid episodes and erosion of the river catchment. High environmental variability post‐3000 cal BP could have put a premium on strategies to reduce the risk associated with resource unpredictability, such as economic specialization and intensification and storage practices designed to control and mitigate resource variability. This process could have ultimately lead to the consolidation of the Andean pastoralist way of life ca. 3000–2500 BP.

“…Con este objetivo se ha aplicado un índice de humedad, que se calcula a partir de las variaciones en los porcentajes de las dos principales e indicadoras formaciones vegetacionales de la Puna (estepa herbácea y estepa arbustiva), de todos los registros polínicos trabajados por el equipo en el área para el periodo de investigación de este trabajo: Lapao 5 y Pastos Chicos 1-2 (Oxman y Yacobaccio 2014, Tchilinguirian et al 2012, Tchilinguirian et al 2014 a y b, Morales 2011, Oxman et al 2013 situados en el departamento de Susques y el Testigo Cruces 1 situado en la localidad de Barrancas en el departamento de Cochinoca (Morales et al 2016).…”

“…Se conocen diversos antecedentes de trabajos interdisciplinarios utilizando multiproxies para el Holoceno en los Andes Centrales, particularmente en el Noroeste Argentino (Lupo, 1998;Kulemeyer & Lupo, 1998;Kulemeyer et al, 1999;Schäbitz et al, 2001;Kulemeyer, 2005;Torres, 2010;Cortes, 2010;Bonachea et al, 2010;Yacobaccio et al, 2013). Metodológicamente, se puede destacar el trabajo de Lupo et al (2006), en un sector boscoso de Yungas, mientras que los antecedentes de estudios con alta resolución para el último siglo en zonas boscosas del Amazonia de Brasil y Bolivia son escasos (Villagrán, 1993;Argollo & Mourguiart, 2000;Burbridge et al, 2004;May, 2007;May et al, 2008;Bonachea et al, 2010;Behling, 2011;Mayle, 2011;May, 2011).…”

First results from an interdisciplinary research on the history of landscape in the mountain range of Tartagal, Province of Salta (NW Argentina) for the 1959/2012 period are given. Geochemical, mineralogical and palynological studies with high temporal resolution have been performed in sediments of a core from Laguna Seca (22°21'1.81"S, 63°52'10.90"W). Dentations by 210 Pb show that the sedimentary record comprises 53 years. Sediments are composed of reddish massive clays and silts, with interbedded clays rich in organic matter and fibrous plants macro remains in the base of the core. Presence of quartz, illite and clinochlorite is prominent; most relevant geochemical components are Al, Si and K. Redundancy analysis indicates that most of chemical elements are associated to terrigenous minerals (quartz, albite and illite). Pollen types found belong to the Yungas forest, like Alnus acuminata, Anadenanthera colubrina, Celtis sp. and Schinus sp. Geochemical, mineralogical and palynological results are consistent with the annual precipitation in Tartagal during last decades, and reflect some correlation with phenomena of mass movement as well as landslides occurred in the mountain range of Tartagal and its oriental piedmont. The multiproxies data integration has generated the basis for reconstructing changes in vegetation, climate and history of anthropogenic disturbance during the Holocene in Subandine Sierra the Northwest Argentine.
