TL;DR: In this article, the authors present δ13C data from wild plants from the south coast of Peru, which may have been significant in the diets of humans and animals in the past.

TL;DR: In this paper, a genome-wide data on 89 individuals dating from ∼9,000-500 years ago (BP), with a particular focus on the period of the rise and fall of state societies was assembled.

TL;DR: The role of climate change since the Late Pleistocene in determining productivity and extent of past lomas ecosystems has been much debated as discussed by the authors, and the resource potential of the poorly studied lomas of the south coast of Peru during the long Middle Pre-ceramic period (c. 8000-4500 BP): a period critical in the transition to agriculture, the onset of modern El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions, and eustatic sea level rise and stabilisation and beach progradation.

TL;DR: This work revisits the Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization (MFAC) hypothesis by proposing more explicit links than hitherto, between the detailed technological aspects of marine exploitation using plant fibers to make fishing nets and the emergence of social complexity on the coast of Peru.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present archaeobotanical and invertebrate evidence from the flotation and analyses of 46 archaeological contexts from six middens from the Samaca and Ullujaya basins, lower Ica Valley, south coast of Peru.
