          Abstract

          En los años sesenta, Reichel-Dolmatoff aplicó el esquema evolutivo de la arqueología americana, con el fin de ordenar la profundidad temporal del mundo prehispánico en Colombia. Sin embargo, uno de los periodos más ambiguos en su definición fue el Arcaico, principalmente por la falta de datos para la época. Cincuenta años después, el panorama ha cambiado y actualmente se cuenta con un volumen de evidencias suficiente para entender mejor un periodo clave en la historia prehispánica, caracterizado por la diversidad cultural, vista en perspectiva espacial, y la plasticidad de las estrategias adaptativas de los diferentes grupos, entre las que cabe destacar el origen de la producción de alimentos.

          Translated abstract

          In the 1960s Reichel Dolmatoff applied the evolutionary model of the American archeology to order the prehispanic record in Colombia. Nonetheless, the Archaic period was loosely defined because of the lack of data existing at the time. Fifty years after that things have changed and we now have robust evidences to be able to understand this key period in the prehispanic history, characterized by its cultural diversity and the adaptive strategies plasticity displayed by the different human groups, among which the origin of food production stands out.

              Late Pleistocene/early Holocene tropical forest occupations at San Isidro and Peña Roja, Colombia

              Evidence of early occupations by hunter-gatherers in diverse tropical forests is increasing the world over (e.g. Gorman 1971; Pavlides & Gosden 1994), even in America (Roosevelt et al. 1996). This paper reports them in northern South America. Several lines of evidence suggest that many kinds of forests, some or all without modern analogues, existed in the American tropics during glacial times and remained there, with changing composition, until the present. According to evidence presented here, human beings adapted to those forests in northern South America since, at least, the end of the Pleistocene.
