Abstract

The La Tolita archeological site is located in the Province of Esmeraldas in the northwestern part of Ecuador at the border with Colombia. This area comprises one of the world's wettest coastal regions with mangrove and swamps along the coast and has one of the richest tropical rainforest of the planet, extending inland. Today this region is seriously affected by natural hazards including earthquakes, deposition of thick layers of volcanic ash, tsunamis, and El Nino flooding. The region also hosted one of the most important and famous cultures of the late Holocene, the La Tolita–Tumaco, which dominated northern South America between 2900 and 1100 yr BP. With the aim of characterizing the influence on the environment of the different factors of natural hazards, climate changes, and human activities, we drilled a 4-m long sediment core in a swamp close to the La Tolita site. The record dates back to 5000 years BP. Multiproxy analyses of pollen, microcharcoal, XRF-based geochemical data, and geochronology were performed on the sediment to distinguish the different drivers of change. At ~ 3000 yr BP, an earthquake dramatically modified the landscape, elevating the ground and changing the course of the rivers. In the following two millennia until 1100 yr BP, raised-field agricultural activities dominated the site, providing evidence for an increase in the local population. Human activity progressively declined after 1100 yr BP, with the loss of the regional influence of the Tolita…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
