Abstract
A multidisciplinary approach has allowed the reconstruction of Late Pl eistocene and Holocene lake fluctuations in the Lake Titicaca basin. T hree high lake levels (prior to 25/28 kyr BP, between 14 and 10.5 kyr BP and from 0.4 kyr BP) and two severe droughts (25/28 and 14 kyr BP a nd 10.5 and 0.4 kyr BP) are the main paleohydrological characteristics of the Lake Titicaca evolution.
