Resumen
En muchos trabajos arqueológicos subyace la suposición de que el crecimiento poblacional de los pueblos cazadores-recolectores fue constantemente lento y que sólo en tiempos relativamente recientes habrían alcanzado densidades parecidas a las que exhibían en momentos de la llegada de los primeros observadores europeos. En el caso del Área Litoral Sudamericana Sudoccidental, que se extiende desde Chiloé hasta el Cabo de Hornos, hay razones teóricas para suponer que, por el contrario, el crecimiento inicial debió de ser muy veloz; las consecuencias habrían sido que la ocupación de toda el área ocurriera muy rápidamente y que una densidad relativamente alta fuese alcanzada ya en época temprana. De esas razones, algunas son generales a la dinámica demográfica de los cazadores-recolectores, otras son específicas de los grupos adaptados a los litorales y dependientes de los recursos que esos ambientes brindan.
Many archaeological papers incorporate an underlying notion which assumes that population growth of hunter-gatherers was constant and slow, and that only in relatively recent times had these populations reached densities similar to those observed when the Europeans arrived. In the case of the South American Southwestern Littoral Area, which ranges from Chiloé to Cape Horn, contrary to what was assumed by the notions mentioned above, there are theoretical reasons to suppose that the initial demographic growth must have been quite rapid. The consequences would have been that the occupation of the whole area would have happened quickly and that a relatively high population density would have been reached in early times. Among these theoretical reasons, some are related to the general dynamics of hunter-gatherer demography, while others are related to the groups adapting themselves to the littoral, and depending on the resources available in these environments.
