Cuncaicha, a rockshelter site in the southern Peruvian Andes, has yielded archaeological evidence for human occupation at high elevation (4,480 masl) during the Terminal Pleistocene (12,500–11,200 cal BP), Early Holocene (9,500–9,000 cal BP), and later periods. One of the excavated human burials (Feature 15‐06), corresponding to a middle‐aged female dated to ~8,500 cal BP, exhibits skeletal osteoarthritic lesions previously proposed to reflect habitual loading and specialized crafting labor. Three small tools found in association with this burial are hypothesized to be associated with precise manual dexterity.

高海拔秘鲁安第斯山脉早期全新世个体精确人工活动的生物文化证据

Cuncaicha是秘鲁安第斯山脉南部的一个避难所，在晚期更新世（12,500-11,200 cal BP），全新世早期（9,500-9,000 cal BP）及以后的时期，考古学证据为人类占领了高海拔地区（4,480 masl） 。出土的人类墓葬之一（特征15-06）对应于一位年龄约5500 BP的中年女性，具有先前提出的骨骼骨关节炎病灶，以反映习惯性负荷和专门的手工劳动。假设发现了与这种葬礼有关的三个小工具，它们与精确的手动灵巧性有关。
