Reposted by Francisca Santana SagredoRamiro Barberena @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026How did farming reach Uspallata? Through migration of farmers—or through cultural transmission with local hunter-gatherers? We address this through an integrative study of human remains spanning the last 2000 years, combining archaeology, isotopes and genomes. 121
Reposted by Francisca Santana SagredoRamiro Barberena @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026We find strong genetic continuity through time, suggesting that agriculture spread without major population movement. Instead, local communities adopted farming practices while maintaining deep regional ancestry. 111
Reposted by Francisca Santana SagredoRamiro Barberena @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026But we also find changes… Isotopes reveal shifts in farming intensity, including a marked intensification of maize farming between ~800 and 600 years ago. And then we found something unexpected… 111
Reposted by Francisca Santana SagredoRamiro Barberena @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Strontium isotopes show that many of these individuals did not live in Uspallata and that the valley saw increased immigration. These were families with a matrilineal organization that migrated in succesive generations. 111
Reposted by Francisca Santana SagredoRamiro Barberena @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Why did they leave their homes? We suggest it was a response to a long and multicausal crisis. Low populaiton size, climatic instability and the transmission of infectious diseases-tuberculosis- triggered migration along social networks. This was a resilient response. 121
