| Sumario: | Here we report a newly discovered Fishtail projectile point, or Fell 1 projectile-point type, from Characato valley in the southern Pampean Hills of central Argentina. It is a fluted basal stem fragment on a non-local dark red volcanic rock. Fishtail points are rare, and archaeological sites dating to the Pleistocene-Holocene transition particularly scarce, in this region; hence, this new evidence importantly establishes early human occupation through material culture. |
