Geography
Country: Argentina
State: Santa Cruz
Coordinate: 48° 34' S, 68° 51' W
Coordinate basis: estimated from map
Time interval: Late Pleistocene
Section: 3387
Unit number: 1
Unit order: above to below
Max Ma: 0.010999
Min Ma: 0.01025
Age basis: radiocarbon (uncalibrated)
Geography comments: coordinate estimated based on photo in Fig. 1
a cave near a lagoon
there are uncalibrated 14C dates of 10250 +/- 110, 10967 +/- 55, and 10999 +/- 55 ybp on carbon and one of 10750 +/- 45 ybp on Lama gracilis
the dates are from units 4 and/or 3c but provenances are not given
occupation layers are thought to span the latest Pleistocene through the early 20th century
layer 3c overlies layer 4
