Sedentism among the Archaic fisher-folk of northern Chile: A malacological perspective
Oxygen isotope analysis of shell material from the Camarones West Shell Midden and from the site of Quiani has revealed that year-round collection of shellfish for food by the people of the Chinchorro Culture was not practiced. Additional shell demographics from the site of Quiani further support …

A diachronic analysis of porotic hyperostosis in prehistoric populations of northern Chile
… hyperostosis in the prehistoric populations of northern Chile. Porotic hyperostosis has been recognized as being a useful indicator of nutritional stress, in particular, iron-deficiency anemia. In the Americas, this pathology has primarily been associated with maize-dependency and pathogen load. …

Radiometric evaluation of the prehistoric mortuary practices of the Chinchorro culture in northern Chile
… were the aboriginal, pre-ceramic peoples of the northern Chilean and southern Peruvian coastline. The Chinchorro culture used four types of mummification techniques (red, black, natural and mud-coated). Each of these types may be distinct to the chronological time period in which it was used and, …

Inter-Annual to Inter-Decadal Variability of Upwelling and Anchovy Population off Northern Chile
<p>The coastal ocean of northern Chile has persistent wind-driven upwelling that produces high nutrient and chlorophyll concentrations in a narrow band along the coast. The objective of this thesis is to study the low frequency temporal variability of the upwelling system, to understand the spatial …

The petrogenesis of the Pliocene Araral stratovolcano in the Andean Central Volcanic Zone, Northern Chile
The Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC) is a silicic volcanic complex in the Central Andean Volcanic Zone (CVZ). The APVC is underlain by the thickest known crust in a continental arc setting and the largest known magma body – the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB). Lavas of the APVC and CVZ are …

Microbial carbon within and above exotic copper deposits in northern Chile : implications for ore genesis and exploration
… enrichment of Cenozoic porphyry Cu deposits in northern Chile. Carbon stable isotopic analysis is employed herein to clarify the environment of exotic ore formation and to provide guidelines for the exploration for non-outcropping mineralisation. Two main sample suites were examined: …

Why are there no low-δ18O magmas In convergent margins? A case of the Central Andes, Northern Chile
It has long been thought that low-δ 18O magmas (<5.7‰) are only found in extensional tectonic settings. Low-δ 18O magmas are rare, worldwide, especially in subduction zone settings. The main objective of this study was to conduct a search for low-δ 18O magmas in the Central Volcanic Zone (CVZ) of …
