Dear Readers,

Magallania informs its readers that its 2027 volume will include a special section entitled “Early Peopling of Fuego-Patagonia”, scheduled for publication in the second quarter of the year as part of the journal’s regular volume.

This section will bring together original contributions devoted to the study of exploration, colonization, interaction, technological innovation, and sociocultural trajectories in the southernmost region of South America, from the end of the Pleistocene to the beginning of the Early Holocene.

The section aims to integrate case studies, regional analyses, theoretical and methodological discussions, and interdisciplinary research with an archaeological focus, contributing to a deeper understanding of the earliest processes of Homo sapiens expansion into the southernmost reaches of the continent.

The academic coordination of this section will be undertaken by Editor Dr. Fabiana M. Martin, Guest Editor Dr. Nora V. Franco, and Editor Dr. Luis A. Borrero, who will oversee manuscript submissions, external peer-review processes, and the various stages of editorial production, in accordance with the journal’s editorial policies.

The section will be developed under the supervision of the Editor-in-Chief of Magallania, Dr. Víctor Sierpe, ensuring compliance with the scientific and ethical standards that guide the journal.
