    (CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2020) Uribe, Mauricio; Angelo, Dante; Capriles, Jose; Castro, Victoria; Eugenia de Porras, Maria; Garcia, Magdalena; Gayo, Eugenia; Gonzalez, Josefina; Jose Herrera, Maria; Izaurieta, Roberto; Maldonado, Antonio; Mandakovic, Valentina; Mcrostie, Virginia; Razeto, Jorge; Santana, Francisca; Santoro, Calogero; Valenzuela, Jimena; Vidal, Alejandra
    In this article, we illustrate the relationships that human societies established with their environment during the Formative period in the Pampa del Tamarugal (3000-1000 BP), Atacama Desert, Chile. We employed a theoretical-methodological perspective that emphasizes the explanatory potential of ecofacts. By mediating between humans and environment, this perspective provides a better understanding of how these societies constructed nature and culture. The purpose is to show that this process was part of a long history of rationalization of the desert, its resources, and the lived experience of the Formative communities that occupied that landscape. Therefore, we propose that this human intervention in Pampa del Tamarugal can be understood not only as an ecological and economic change but also a "cosmological" one.
