A Fossil Bone of a Giant Ground Sloth from the Last Millennium of the Pleistocene: New Data from Salto Department, Uruguay

During the Pleistocene-Holocene transition at ~10.0 uncalibrated, or ~11.7 calibrated kya, the Americas were undoubtedly inhabited by humans from north to south ends. The groups living in that time…

A New View on the Late Pleistocene Lithic Remains from Pikimachay Cave, South Central Peru

Between 1966 and 1972, Richard MacNeish led the “Ayacucho Archaeological-Botanical Project” in the Ayacucho Basin, south-central Peru. Over the last decade, we reappraised the lithics recovered in…

LUMINESCENCE DATING OF LATE PLEISTOCENE AND HOLOCENE SEDIMENTS IN URUGUAY

The archaeological record in the Negro River in central Uruguay Republic is remarkable for its richness, including the presence of a significant number of Paleoindian fishtail points. As part of…

Going back to collections: a study case of the Florentino Ameghino collection housed in the Museo de La Plata (Argentina)

The historical Florentino Ameghino collection housed in the Museo de La Plata (Argentina) joined the 19th century international discussion about human antiquity. The collection comprises bones with…

Damaged glyptodontid skulls from Late Pleistocene sites of northwestern Venezuela: evidence of hunting by humans?

The Muaco and Taima-Taima sites, in Falcón State of northwestern Venezuela, are among the earliest sites of human occupation in South America containing artifacts associated with preserved megafaunal…

Paleopathologies of the Clavicles of the Giant Ground Sloth Megatherium americanum (Mammalia, Xenarthra) from the Pleistocene of the Pampean Region (Argentina)

Abstract. This study presents pathological conditions observed in the clavicular joints of the extinct giant ground sloth Megatherium americanum. Clavicles are key for shoulders and forelimbs…
