The First Stages In The Peopling Of The Salta Province Puna Region (Northwest Argentina): A Review Based On Projectile Points

Abstract

We present an analysis of “fishtail” and triangular non-stemmed projectile points from the puna of the Salta province (northwest Argentina), which are thought to date to the late Pleistocene/early Holocene. These findings position the puna of Salta in current debates concerning the early period of human colonization.
