| Summary: | Cl concentrations in the Sajama ice core, and to a number of other pedological and geomorphological features indicative of long-term dry climates (8, 11–14, 18). This decline in human activity around the Altiplano paleolakes is seen in most caves, with early and late occupations separated by largely sterile mid-Holocene sediments. However, a few sites, including the caves of Tulan-67 and Tulan-68, show that people did not completely disappear from the area. All of the sites of sporadic occupation are located near wetlands in valleys, near large springs, or where lakes turned into wetlands and subsistence resources were locally still available despite a generally arid climate |
