@article{Borrero1999ThePE, title={The Prehistoric Exploration and Colonization of Fuego-Patagonia}, author={Luis Alberto Borrero}, journal={Journal of World Prehistory}, year={1999}, volume={13}, pages={321-355} }
The main goal of this paper is to review the earliest archaeological evidence for the presence of humans in Fuego-Patagonia.
