Archaeological perspectives for northern Patagonia: Cueva huenul 1 site (Neuquen Province, Argentina)

Northern Neuquén Province (Pehuenches Dept., Argentina) is barely known from an archaeological perspective, though it is centrally placed in terms of several large-scale key issues in the peopling of South America: the extinction of the megafauna and its causes, early human presence, and the existen...
