This article on lithic technology addresses the technological changes that occurred during the occupations of the last hunter-gatherer-domesticator populations and early farmer and shepherd societies in the Puna of Jujuy. It has as a particular objective to reconstruct operational chains and technical systems from three sites in the Barrancas basin around 3750–1550 cal BP. Results include various quantitative analyses. These are divided into four parts: raw materials, knapping and shaping methods, and grasping techno-functional units. We present frequencies and percentages for each of these. In the case of not rejecting the null hypothesis and of sufficient richness (>4), we exposed the Shannon-Weaver, dominance, and evenness indices. Even if we observe continuities, the results show that the technological changes are significant and include breaks. Evidence indicates new operative chains, lithic raw material economy, and restructuring of technical systems. We highlight that Middle Holocene hunting technical systems are hafting systems, including processing tools, whereas Late Holocene technical systems are fully grasping systems, with hafting exclusively reserved to arrowheads. These changes are interpreted within the framework of a social, economic, and ecological restructuring. Interactions between farming and herding economies, full sedentary settlements, and llama caravans for long-distance traffic are the proposed phenomena that could explain these changes.

Quartz lithic technology was relevant for the human populations that inhabited the El Alto-Ancasti mountain range (Catamarca) during the first millennium AD. This is characterized by the presence of very simple retouched tools with very low labor investment. However, in the Oyola 7 rockshelter, we have identified a set of projectile points, which show a certain variety of designs, but also a greater work investment due to the bifacial manufacture and certain standardization of sizes and shapes. The main goal of this paper is therefore to present the technological characteristics of this set of projectile points, emphasizing the context in which they come from, a cave with rock art and which is the only archaeological site in which projectile points were recorded in this area of eastern Catamarca. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to contribute, from lithic technology studies, to understand ways of life, I analyzed the lithic artifact assemblage from a structure of Las Escondidas (Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca). I put into dialogue archaeological models in use in Antofagasta de la Sierra-of adaptive roots-with an approach that highlights the social role of technology in the construction of the world. I became interested in the dispositions of the technological habitus that enabled and restricted the choices involved in the making, maintenance, and use of stone tools in this context. I built a technological model for the analyzed context, which represents the repertoire enabled by the technological habitus expressed in the attributes of the artifactual set. The material, technical, procedural, and endpoint variability of the analyzed assemblage allows us to delve into the complexity of the lithic technology of the first millennium A.D. in the region.

This paper presents the results of the typological and geochemical analysis of the archaeological materials recovered from the Chapelco Chico 1 site, the easternmost site located in the binational Valdivian basin. A novel obsidian record of the FHH chemical group is highlighted, associated with an expeditive lithic technology and monochrome painted and incised pottery, which allows its association with other wooded and lacustrine contexts of both Andean mountain slopes: the Argentine Norpatagonia and the Chilean Araucania.

The objective of this work is to advance in the studies of lithic production in the archaeological sites Los Varela Recinto 11 and El Polear 1, two Aguada sites inhabited during the Middle Period (c. VI - XI AD) in the Ambato Valley (Catamarca, Argentina). To study the lithic assemblages, the techno-morphological analysis of the carved lithic material, the technical-morphological and morphological-functional analyzes of the polished artifacts were implemented through macroscopic observation. The results obtained allowed to characterize the lithic assemblages of both sites, as well as to observe differences and similarities in the production of this technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The following paper addresses the study of those knapping processes occurred during the middle Holocene in Laguna de los Pampas (Central Pampean Dunefields, Buenos Aires), carried out through tecnomorphologic and technological (chaînes opératoires) studies of the lithic artifacts recovered in the surface of the Sector 2. The results obtained points to the employ of a wide diversity of raw materials, which sources are located at least 170 km away from the site, and among which stands the orthoquartzites and cherts from Tandilia. For these two rocks, as well as for the silicified dolomite, a direct acquisition is proposed. The production of blanks was mainly made by the unipolar and centripetal débitage. The presence of dull edges, reactivation flakes and exhausted cores, as well as the employment of the bipolar reduction, suggest an optimization in the exploitation of rocks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents the research conducted in Las Lágrimas lake (SW Santa Fe), regarding the fieldwork carried out in November 2018. Human skeletal remains were found in the SW of the lagoon beach. The bioarchaeological record contains a minimum number of four adult individuals. A late radiocarbon date was obtained from bone collagen of one of the eroded burials (1450 ± 50 años AP), within the pre-Hispanic occupations of the sector. The relative abundance of pottery and the vessels completeness, as well as the presence of groundstone tools, can be related to an intensive collection and storage of plant foods. The raw materials exploited for stone tool production are similar to other Central Pampean Dunefields sites, and presumably a similar source of supply was used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies about the lithic supply within the Quinto river basin and some of its tributaries have allowed increasing knowledge about the availability of raw materials and the technological strategies linked to their use. In the present work we focus on the analysis of a set of cores recovered in quarries-workshops and sites of multiple activities located in different sectors of the area. The results obtained together with the distribution of the sources allowed tracing the different technological trajectories of the main recognized lithic resources. There is evidence of a wide use of two raw materials, quartz and chalcedony, of local and extra-regional origin. Their availability and linked sourcing strategies were different in each portion of the basin. Finally, a wide circulation of rocks is observed that seems to reflect the movement of human groups and the exchange with neighboring areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El objetivo de este trabajo es discutir las técnicas y estrategias de caza empleadas para la captura de pinnípedos en la desembocadura del Río Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, Patagonia), particularmente en la localidad arqueológica Punta Entrada. Ésta se caracteriza por poseer amplias concentraciones de material arqueológico a cielo abierto en las cuales los restos de pinnípedos de las especies Otaria flavescens y Arctocephalus australis dominan los conjuntos zooarqueológicos, evidenciando que estos animales fueron una presa principal de los cazadores-recolectores durante los últimos 2.000 años aP. Los estudios del registro artefactual lítico sugieren el uso de diversos sistemas de armas combinados, entre los cuales se incluyen aquellos de circulación regional y uso general (lanzas) y otros netamente costeros y de uso específico, como son los rompecráneos, informando así la existencia de estrategias de caza particulares para estos animales y de artefactos destinados a tal fin.

The knowledge about rocks availability in areas of archaeological investigations is fundamental in order to approach the lithic technology studies and human behaviors associated to its production. The aim of this paper is to characterize the structure of the basis of lithic resources of the area and to contrast previous observations. Here we present the first results of the prospections carried out in an inactive littoral cordon at the archaeological locality of Punta Entrada (Santa Cruz river mouth, Santa Cruz). Also petrographic analysis of samples recovered there are exposed. Patagonian Shingle Formation is the only one with outcrops in the area. This Formation would have functioned as a secondary source of a wide variety of lithologies of different qualities, which are presented in different sizes and morphologies thus offering a wide range of possibilities to the knappers.

Human populations used different lithic tools in order to address daily activities in everyday social reproduction. One way of approaching these instruments is by studying how lithic edges, points and surfaces were formatted. In this work, we are interested in introducing tool manufacturing by human populations that inhabited El Alto-Ancasti mountains (Catamarca, Argentina) during the first millennium of the era. For this purpose, we evaluate technical, morphological and functional characteristics of lithic instruments retrieved from excavations in different sites of eastern Catamarca, and then analyze the differences among the latter. In addition, this work is a contribution to the study of instruments made of quartz, a raw material that displays particular features in terms of hardness and quality for knapping. It also practically represents the whole lithic technology found in archaeological sites in a wide area of central and northern Argentina. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lake Cardiel basin (Central-West Santa Cruz) has been object of archaeological research seeking to discuss the relationships between climatic/environmental and social change during the Holocene. These researches characterized the basin as a region of late settlement in relation to neighboring spaces. In this basin a drying process during the Holocene generated a reorganization of local populations. This paper approaches the problem from a particular site, Alero Los Guanacos 1, to discuss the way in which these processes are presented at a smaller scale. The site presents occupations during the mid and late Holocene. The technology recovered there is analyzed, and taking this into account, variations in the site use over time are discussed. Some of these variations differ from the general overview known for the basin. It is concluded that these differences are the result of the differential role of the different spaces in the settlement process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents novel information on technological choices regarding lithic raw material and core exploitation in the proximity of the Avilés and Chico river confluence, in the steppe sector of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. The techno-morphological analysis of the Avilés 3 archaeological site indicated a predominance of informal, non-depleted cores (N=16) of expeditive manufacture. As a conclusion, this work poses that human groups did not seek to maximize raw material. Instead, they applied an expeditive rock exploitation strategy, within a high-mobility scenario with an abundant distribution of easily obtainable raw materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work presents the phylogenetic analysis of the mid-Holocene lanceolate projectile points from the southern Andean Highlands region. We applied the cladistics method and a total evidence approach, by integrating a robust set of morphological, metric and discrete data. Through this methodology, we documented a strong phylogenetic signal in the cultural data set, and a structure which fits the cladistic model of branching evolution. The obtained phylogenic tree reveals the pattern of evolutionary change of these artifacts as well as a process of diversification of point classes. We conclude that in the study area the diversification of projectile point classes occurred during the mid-Holocene in tandem with a general trend towards the reduction in size of the points; and associated with the spread of new hunting techniques. We discuss these results suggesting that this process of diversification was the result of an increased rate of technological innovation that accompanied population growth since the beginning of the mid-Holocene.
