Campo Laborde: A Late Pleistocene giant ground sloth kill and butchering site in the Pampas by Politis, Gustavo Gabriel, Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Stafford, Thomas W., Lindsey, Emily L.

“…However, recent excavations and more advanced accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dating at Campo Laborde site in the Argentinian Pampas challenge the Holocene survival of Pleistocene megamammals and provide original and high-quality information documenting direct human impact on the Pleistocene fauna. …”

Early Holocene Human Remains from the Argentinean Pampas: Cranial Variation in South America and the American Peopling by Menendez, Lumila Paula, Perez, Sergio Ivan, Pucciarelli, Hector Mario, Bonomo, Mariano, Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Politis, Gustavo Gabriel

“…Results show that while there is no clear separation between early and late samples from Chile, samples from Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina show more pronounced differences, the latter presenting the largest morphological variation among early American samples. …”

The role and place of ethnoarchaeology in current archaeological debate by Politis, Gustavo Gabriel

“…These papers approach different current issues in ethnoarchaeology from different perspectives and represent the vitality and worth of this (sub-)discipline.Although I find the paper by Lyon and Casey extremely illuminating, and I agree with most of their ideas, I am not convinced that ethnoarchaeology is a methodology. More in agreement with the papers by Cunningham and MacEachern and that by Sillar and Ramón Joffré, I believe that it is either a discipline (or an "ambiguous sub field", as the former authors call it) between archaeology andethnography, or a research strategy framed within different theoretical structures (from behavioural ecology to the ?…”

Early Human Holocene Remains from the Argentinean Pampa: Additional Evidence for Distinctive Cranial Morphology of Early South Americans. by Pucciarelli, Hector Mario, Perez, Sergio Ivan, Politis, Gustavo Gabriel

“…The cranial morphology of Early Holocene American human samples is characterized by a long and narrow cranial vault, whereas more recent samples exhibit a shorter and wider cranial vault. …”

Radiocarbon chronology of the early human occupation of Argentina by Prates, Luciano Raúl, Politis, Gustavo Gabriel, Steele, James

“…In other regions such as the eastern slope of the Andes in Patagonia, the peri-Andean Central West, and the Northwest, where there has been intensive archaeological research for an extended period and there are fewer systematic factors which are likely to bias archaeological visibility, the absence of archaeological evidence of early occupation may indicate delayed colonization of these more marginal environments. The conclusion discusses the implications of 14C dates associated with Fishtail Projectile Points for the western hemisphere pre-Clovis debate, and the implications of terminal Pleistocene/early Holocene dated remains of extinct mammals for the megafaunal overkill hypothesis.…”
