En trabajos anteriores se ha propuesto, a partir de rasgos morfológicos, la complementariedad funcional entre materias primas líticas y óseas en el humedal del Paraná inferior durante el Holoceno tardío (Loponte y Sacur Silvestre 2002). En esta oportunidad se evalúa dicha hipótesis a partir del análisis funcional microscópico de ambos conjuntos artefactuales del sitio arqueológico Anahí. En un eje metodológico, se observa que en el material lítico y óseo los rastros se desarrollan de manera particular implicando cada uno un abordaje propio. Por otra parte, la comparación entre ambos conjuntos arqueológicos permite discutir la existencia de conductas tendientes al empleo diferencial de materias primas que estarían vinculadas no solo con su disponibilidad sino también con sus propiedades.In previous work, functional complementarity between lithic and bone materials for the Lower Paraná wetlands during the late Holocene based on morphological traits was proposed (Loponte y Sacur Silvestre 2002). In this paper, this hypothesis by applying microscopic functional analysis to both types of artefactual assemblage from Anahí archaeological site is evaluated. From a methodological perspective, it is evident that traces in lithic and bone material develop in different ways, implying that a distinct approach is needed for each material. Even so, comparison of the archaeological assemblages enables to discuss the existence of behaviors related to the differential exploitation of lithic and bone materials that may be linked not only to their availability but also to their distinct properties.
