Abstract
The earliest settlements in Chile date from around 10,500 BC. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the indigenous peoples included the Atacameno, living in small settlements in the northern deserts, the Araucanians, farmers in the more temperate valleys of central Chile, and the Chono—Alacaluf and Yahgan nomads from the mountainous southern areas.
