We present stable isotope and osteological data from human remains at Paloma, Chilca I, La Yerba III, and Morro I that offer new evidence for diet, lifestyle, and habitual mobility in the first villages that proliferated along the arid Pacific coast of South America (ca. 6000 cal BP). The data not only reaffirm the dietary primacy of marine protein for this period but also show evidence at Paloma of direct access interactions between the coast and highlands, as well as habitual mobility in some parts of society. By locating themselves at the confluence of diverse coastal and terrestrial habitats, the inhabitants of these early villages were able to broaden their use of resources through rounds of seasonal mobility, while simultaneously increasing residential sedentism. Yet they paid little substantial health penalty for their settled lifestyles, as reflected in their osteological markers of stature and stress, compared with their agriculturalist successors even up to five millennia later. Contrasting data for the north coast of Chile indicate locally contingent differences. Considering these data in a wider chronological context contributes to understanding how increasing sedentism and population density laid the foundations here for the emergence of Late Preceramic social complexity.

中前陶瓷早期村庄的饮食和生活方式：来自 Paloma、Chilca I、La Yerba III 和 Morro I 人类遗骸的稳定同位素和骨学分析的见解

我们提供了来自 Paloma、Chilca I、La Yerba III 和 Morro I 人类遗骸的稳定同位素和骨学数据，这些数据为南美洲干旱太平洋沿岸第一批村庄的饮食、生活方式和习惯性流动性提供了新证据。约 6000 卡 BP）。这些数据不仅重申了这一时期海洋蛋白质在饮食中的首要地位，而且还显示了帕洛马海岸和高地之间直接接触相互作用的证据，以及社会某些地区的习惯性流动性。通过将自己定位在不同的沿海和陆地栖息地的交汇处，这些早期村庄的居民能够通过轮次的季节性流动扩大对资源的利用，同时增加住宅的久坐性。然而，他们为安定的生活方式付出了很少的健康代价，正如他们的身高和压力的骨学标志所反映的那样，与他们的农业继任者相比，甚至长达五千年。智利北部海岸的对比数据表明当地存在差异。在更广泛的年代背景下考虑这些数据有助于理解日益增加的久坐不动和人口密度如何为晚期前陶瓷社会复杂性的出现奠定了基础。
