Human exploitation of shellfish in the Atacama desert coast and environmental variability: a trans-Holocene perspective

2026-02-03

Abstract excerpt

The Humboldt upwelling ecosystem has been intensively harvested by people since the early Holocene. Understanding past and present human choices under climatic variability in these productive environments may hold key insights for its future sustainability by unraveling different adaptive pathways. To this end, we studied shellfish exploitation and climate patterns in the Taltal region of the Atacama desert coast...
