Changing scenarios in Bajo de la Quinta (San Matías Gulf, Northern Patagonia, Argentina): Impact of geomorphologic processes in subsistence and human use of coastal habitats

As in other parts of the world, the northern coast of the San Matías Gulf (Northern Patagonia, Argentina) has undergone remarkable changes after the Middle Holocene sea level maximum. By means of an interdisciplinary work, the geomorphologic evolution of Bajo de la Quinta coastal hollow was reconstr...
