- •
The high Andes were among the last environments to be colonized by humans.
- •
We report a 12,700–12,100 cal BP occupation in the Andean Altiplano of Bolivia.
- •
Mobile foragers occupied the site logistically employing a curated technological strategy.
- •
The occupation of the site coincides with a humid phase and its abandonment with regional increased aridity.
- •
Evidence suggests human adaptation to the high Andes was gradual.
