Excavations at Quebrada Jaguay 280 (QJ-280) (16°30'S) in
south coastal Peru demonstrated that Paleoindian-age people of the Terminal Pleistocene (about 11,100 to 10,000 carbon-14 years before the
present or about 13,000 to 11,000 calibrated years before the
present) in South America relied on marine resources while resident on
the coast, which extends the South American record of maritime
exploitation by a millennium. This site supports recent evidence that
Paleoindian-age people had diverse subsistence systems. The presence of
obsidian at QJ-280 shows that the inhabitants had contact with the
adjacent Andean highlands during the Terminal Pleistocene.
