- Abstract:
- The aim is to test hypotheses of the affinities and evolution of early humans in Mexico in the context of the archaeology and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the area in the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. There will be an integration of environmental and archaeological data using stratigraphy, palaeoclimatic proxies and chronology (14C, U-Series, ESR, thermoluminescence, tephra) from recently excavated sites and from new fieldwork sites, with biological data on Palaeoamerican populations using DNA, craniofacial analysis and the creation of a database.
