Plant dependency and risk management in the Andean Puna during the Mid to Late Holocene

The archaeology of the Puna, a high elevation desert in South America,gives us a long-term perspective on the role of wild plants in people?sdiets during the last 10,000 years. We explore the impact of aridificationon the use of edible wild plants among desert people through the studyof macrobotanic...
