Abstract:
El Alto 3 site is a foremost archaeological locality in the Córdoba mountains region (central Argentina). This relevance lies in the fact that it records the earliest stages of the Córdoba Mountains exploration and colonization , between 11.000 and 7.000 years BP. This report focuses on the findings made at the oldest layers of the site and discusses about the human peopling process in the region.
