Antiquity and geographic distribution of cranial modification among the prehistoric groups of <scp>F</scp>uego‐<scp>P</scp>atagonia, <scp>C</scp>hile

Abstract

Thus, this Late Holocene, widely distributed practice, was not a reflection of ethnicity, but a material expression of information circulation and the complex social relations that these small-size groups had with one another. These results suggest that the emergence of modern ethnic identities in the region is a historic process that resulted from the interaction of local groups with European and Criollos.
