This volume combines 10 years of accomplished research at the
Pilauco site. The studies are focused on a variety of scientific
areas including geological, sedimentological, geomorphological and
paleobotanical topics, as well as paleontology of vertebrata and
invertebrata, micropaleontology, archaeology, biochemistry,
taxonomy, taphonomy, astrophysics and the development of some
particular touristic aspects. In 18 chapters a variety of authors
describe the excavation and investigation of this unique location.
The book presents Pilauco as an example for the natural laboratory
which can be found in South America, a testing ground for many of
the hypotheses regarding migrations of animals and humans. In this
context the study of topics, such as the paleozoography, the role
of megafauna species for the architecture of the forests, the
animal extinctions or the early human settlements, is extremely
important on a global scale. The Pilauco site features
paleontological and archaeological evidences and is contemporaneous
with the Monte Verde site (~ 15,000 cal. yr AP). It is located 100
km north from Monte Verde and lies within the Intermediate
Depression in northwestern Chilean Patagonia. It was discovered by
chance in 1986 and has been excavated and investigated since 2007.
