El presente libro es un complejo ensamblaje que articula ensayos, imágenes y objetos disímiles, cuya reunión en este cuerpo de papel pretende representar las más de cuatro décadas de trayectoria del Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino. Su estructura interna se compone de tres sistemas autónomos y complementarios entre sí que gozan de la misma jerarquía en la conformación final de la obra. Uno de ellos es un texto escrito a modo de ensayo dividido en siete capítulos secuenciales que sirven de esqueleto de contenido conceptual, temático e histórico al relato. Otro sistema paralelo es un catálogo visual y razonado de 62 de los objetos de arte precolombino y etnográfico de las culturas nativas americanas más emblemáticos que el Museo custodia en la actualidad, separados en tres grandes conjuntos que se intercalan a lo largo del volumen y entremedio de los capítulos escritos. Finalmente, anclando textos y objetos, el libro incluye seis interludios de imágenes de distinta naturaleza que a la vez marcan y guían la ruta visual para una biografía del coleccionismo a través de fragmentos de la propia historia del Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino.

This is the exhibit guide of a new permanent exhibition centered on the native peoples that inhabited Chilean territory from ancient times to the present. Named after the project itself, this exhibit is being installed in the newly built gallery and is intended to draw attention to the creativity and art of the societies occupying the different geographic regions and landscapes of this long country, from its northern desert to its semi-arid scrublands, fertile central valleys, dense forests and even to Easter Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The Chilean territory was divided into a series of geo-cultural zones, each of them “countries” in their own right with their own cultural traditions that flourished over the ages. The display is organized around a few central concepts, starting with the diverse landscapes of Chile’s territories and the ingenuity with which its indigenous inhabitants have adapted to these sometimes extreme environments, and continuing with certain technologies, and ideological modes of expression shared by all human beings, such as aesthetics and beliefs. Above all, the exhibit emphasizes that the pre-Columbian world has not disappeared but remains present in the country’s genetic makeup, religious ideals, everyday language, traditional cuisine and, in particular, in Chile’s present-day indigenous peoples, the descendants of the pre-Columbian societies that preceded them. This publication brings together many of these concepts and examines them through representative works.

The potential importance of the Monte Verde site for the peopling of the New World prompted a detailed examination of the collections from that locality, as well as a site visit in January 1997 by a group of Paleoindian specialists. It is the consensus of that group that the MV-II occupation at the site is both archaeological and 12,500 years old, as T Dillehay has argued. The status of the potentially even older material at the site (MV-I, -33,000 B.P.) remains unresolved.

Based on their petrography and chemistry, 18 tephra analyzed from two lake and bog cores and one outcrop in the upper Río Cisnes valley are believed to have been derived from nine different eruptions of the Mentolat volcano, four of the Melimoyu volcano, and one from the Hudson volcano. Some of these tephra correlate chronologically and petrochemically with previously documented large eruptions of these volcanoes, including the Late-Glacial Ho eruption of Hudson (17,340 cal yrs BP), the mid-Holocene MEN1 eruption of Mentolat (7,710 cal yrs BP), and the Late-Holocene MEL2 eruption of Melimoyu (1,680 cal yrs BP). A Melimoyu-derived tephra from the outcrop occurs in glacial-lacustrine sediments and is considered to pre-date the Last Glacial Maximum (>19,670 cal yrs BP). The data suggest that none of the tephra were produced by explosive eruptions of the Maca, Cay and Yanteles volcanoes.
