Abstract

The Valdivia valley of southwestern Ecuador is currently an ecotonal area between both northerly and interior humid environments, and southerly and coastal arid environments. Inferences drawn from a sample of archaeologically recovered vertebrate taxa in Early Formative context (3000 BC to 2400 BC) at the site of Loma Alta (OGSEMa‐182), suggest the availability of widely variable habitats, ranging from arid and open, to humid and forested conditions. The sample of vertebrate taxa might represent a prehistoric accumulation from a synchronic range of variable habitats available throughout the valley, even under arid conditions. Nevertheless, its derivation from a severely time‐averaged assemblage in deep village refuse raises the possibility of accumulation in environmentally transformed contexts of variable temporal duration.

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.
