The Tigre Projectile Point in Central Argentina: Implications for the Initial Peopling of the Region

We report a Tigre projectile point discovered in Central Mountains of Argentina and discuss its implications for the initial peopling of the central Argentina. This type of projectile point is typical of early groups from the plains of Uruguay and south of Brazil (ca. 12,552 to 11,231 cal yr BP). It...

Sumario:We report a Tigre projectile point discovered in Central Mountains of Argentina and discuss its implications for the initial peopling of the central Argentina. This type of projectile point is typical of early groups from the plains of Uruguay and south of Brazil (ca. 12,552 to 11,231 cal yr BP). Its coexistence with Fishtail projectile points in central Argentina would indicate that there was more than one exploring stage during the Pleistocene–Holocene transition.
