TL;DR: Findings support the archaeological interpretation of the site and indicate that the site's inhabitants used seaweed from distant beaches and estuarine environments for food and medicine, consistent with the ideas that an early settlement of South America was along the Pacific coast and that seaweeds were important to the diet and health of early humans in the Americas.

TL;DR: Recent exploratory excavation at and interdisciplinary data from the Monte Verde area in Chile are discussed to further the understanding of the first peopling of the Americas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of forest management on streamflow in two watersheds in the Valdivian Andes (600-650 m of elevation; 39837 0S), and fish abundance as a function of forest cover in 17 watersheds located in the Coastal Range and the Central Depression (39850 0 -42830 0 S).

TL;DR: In this paper, a multilake turbidite record was used to estimate the magnitude, rupture locations, and extent of past subduction earthquakes in south central Chile by comparing historical reports, a paleotsunami/subsidence record, and a marine megaturbidite record.

TL;DR: In this paper, sedimentary data retrieved in multiple cores from several of these lakes show that turbidite deposits in these lakes accurately reflect the historical record of large megathrust earthquakes (e.g. the M w 9.5 Valdivia earthquake of 1960).
