Light shed on Late Holocene canoe populations in the Chilean region of Magallanes
Archaeologists from the UAB, the University of Magallanes and the University of Evora are conducting a project in the inland sea of Última Esperanza (Magallanes, Chile) to reconstruct the ancient history of hunter-gatherer groups inhabiting this region during the Late Holocene, a period rarely studied until now. The research, which is still in the analysis phase, has already revealed differences in the patterns of land and natural resource use between the areas studied, as well as documenting a possible "Indian passage".
