Availability, strategies of procurement and use of lithic resources in La Payunia, south of Mendoza

The regional structure of lithic resources in La Payunia suggests that the availability of lithic raw material for manufacture of instruments is heterogeneous, with areas of high and low abundance of rocks.

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the regional structure of lithic resources on archaeological assemblages. The results support the expectative from areas of abundance of rocks: primary processing tasks occur in the sources, the common sizes of debitage sites are small and the intensity reduction is high. The local raw material is used for manufacturing unifacial tools as well as the edges of flakes. On the other hand in areas of scarce raw materials, transport of cores and large flakes is frequent. The intensity of the reduction of rock is low, and local and non-local resources are used both for manufacturing unifacial and bifacial tools. These trends brings the possibility to outline modes procurement and mobility range of local and non-local lithic resources. Home ranges of about 200 km for mobile societies that during the late Holocene occupied La Payunia can be postulated. El relevamiento de la estructura regional de recursos líticos en La Payunia sugiere que la disponibilidad de materia prima lítica para confección de instrumentos es heterogénea, diferenciándose sectores con escasa y abundante presencia de rocas. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la incidencia de la estructura regional de recursos líticos sobre los conjuntos artefactuales. Los resultados permiten sostener que en los sectores de abundancia de rocas las tareas de procesamiento primario tienen lugar en las fuentes, los tamaños frecuentes de desechos de talla en los sitios son pequeños y la intensidad de reducción es alta. La roca local es utilizada para la formatización de herramientas unifaciales y el aprovechamiento de filos. Por su parte en sectores de escasez es frecuente el traslado de núcleos y de lascas de tamaño grande. La intensidad de reducción de rocas es baja y los recursos locales y no locales son utilizados para la formatización de herramientas tanto unifaciales como bifaciales. Estas tendencias permiten delinear modos de aprovisionamiento y circuitos de circulación frecuentes de recursos líticos locales y no locales, que postulan rangos de acción aproximados de 200 km de amplitud para sociedades móviles que durante el Holoceno tardío ocuparon La Payunia.
