Possible Holocene excursion of the Earth's magnetic field in southern South America: New records from archaeological sites in Argentina

Palaeomagnetic studies were carried out in several archaeological and palaeontological sites across Argentina and Chile. Remanence directions far removed from the present magnetic field, probably corresponding to a field excursion were recorded in several stratigraphic sections spaning ~11 to 2 ky b...
