Abstract

DURAN, Víctor  and  MIKKAN, Raúl. THE IMPACT OF HOLOCENIC VOLCANISM ON HUMAN SETTLEMENT SOUTH OF MENDOZA, ARGENTINA. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2009, vol.10, n.2, pp.295-310. ISSN 1850-373X.

Geoarchaeological and chronological information is used to discuss the role of Middle Holocene volcanism in the depopulation of southern Mendoza, Argentina. Types and grades of impact of volcanic activity are defined in order to establish environmental recuperation periods and to infer the effects of such activity on human societies during the Late Holocene.

Keywords : Geoarchaeology; Holocenic volcanism; Human settlement; Southern Mendoza; Argentina.
