Descripción
To examine the climate of the mid-Holocene and early human settings in the Andes when the Altiplano was recording the most arid phase of the Holocene, we analyzed plant-related proxies (pollen, phytoliths, diatoms, stable isotopes) from a sediment core sampled at high elevation in the Eastern Cordillera of Bolivia. Our study was carried out in the wetland of Tiquimani (16°12′06.8″S; 68°3′51.5″W; 3760 m), on a well-known pathway between Amazonia and Altiplano. The 7000-year old record shows a two-step mid-Holocene with a dry climate between 6800 and 5800, followed by a wetter period that lasted until 3200 cal. yr BP. In the Central Andes of Bolivia, a widespread aridity was observed on the Altiplano during the mid-Holocene. However, here, we show that moisture was maintained locally by convective activity from the Amazon lowlands. During the arid interval between 5000 and 4000 yr BP, these niches of moisture produced specific grasslands that may have enabled the survival of an archaic culture of hunter–gatherers on the Puna. This development occurred 2000 years before expansion of quinoa cultivation on the Puna.
