Recordist's notes
Chorillo Miraflores Valley, wind 35km/h, (ZOOM F1, stereo contact mice on fence) The Miraflores Valley was one of the most important lithic sources of raw materials (tuff and silicified tuff) for the production of stone tools at the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego region. Recent archaeological research showed that the materials were transported up to 320 km away and also off shore. These rocks were recorded in archeological contexts of several small islands in the Strait ofMagellan and on the coasts of continental Patagonia, suggesting some level of interaction between terrestrial and maritime hunter-gatherers dating back 4000-3000 years.
