This media file is a display about the economy and subsistence of ancient coastal populations in Arica, Chile. The display features text and several photographs. The main title reads "ECONOMÍA Y SUBSISTENCIA" (Economy and Subsistence). The introductory text explains that these populations inhabited coastal environments and were dedicated to fishing, hunting marine animals, and collecting maritime and riverside resources. Below the text, there are three photographs: 1. Two seagulls are pictured on a sandy beach with gentle waves. 2. A landscape photograph shows arid hills with dry, cracked earth in the foreground and lush green vegetation covering the hillsides under a clear blue sky. 3. A close-up shot of a freshwater crayfish on a rocky surface. The text further elaborates that their subsistence economy involved obtaining energy resources from diverse and complementary environments like the coast and the valley. However, the sea was their primary food source. Rivers like San José and Lluta provided freshwater and raw materials such as totora (Typha sp) and junquillo (Scirpus sp), which were essential for making ropes, clothing, blankets (mats), and fuel. The scene depicted is informational, likely from a museum or exhibition, aiming to educate visitors about the historical way of life of people in the Arica region. The photographs visually represent elements of their environment and diet.
