Zusammenfassung:"From 1972 to 1997, archaeological research was undertaken on open air early sites on the north coast of Peru's Cupisnique region. These sites contained lithic tools and faunal remains belonging to the Paijǹ tradition, dating from around 13000 to around 8000 cal BP. In this desert space between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes, superficial sites contained knapped lithics (projectile points and ordinary tools on flakes) and microfaunal remains such as land snails, fish and lizards. After discovering human remains eroding out of the surface, a French-Peruvian team including archaeologist Claude Chauchat and bio-anthropologist Jean-Paul Lacombe excavated a total of 19 burials associated with this Paijǹ tradition. This book presents a detailed description of these remains, yielding information about these foragers' physical constitution as well as their lifestyle."
