FRANCO, Francisco  e  CAMPS, Gonzalo Andrés. SPECIES DISTRIBUTION MODELING AS A TOOL FOR INFERENCE: AN EXAMPLE FROM GEOFFROEA DECORTICANS IN THE SOUTHERN CALCHAQUI AREA, NORTHWESTERN ARGENTINA. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.21, n.2, pp.131-144.  Epub 06-Mar-2020. ISSN 1850-373X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.37176/iea.21.2.2020.489.

In this interdisciplinary contribution, first, the concept of species distribution modeling is developed along with its implications, potential, and inferential strategies. Second, application of the MaxEnt tool is demonstrated based on the distribution modeling of the chañar tree (Geoffroea decorticans (Gillies ex Hook. & Arn.) Burkart) between 4200 and 300 BP. Third, archaeological implications are generated from the use of distribution modeling for different archaeological sites in Northwest Argentina where the consumption of Geoffroea decorticans during the first millennium A.D. has been identified.
