An experimental analysis allows us to deepen into the knowledge on the quartz lithic artifacts production, emphasizing in the different techniques identified, the direct flaking and the bipolar flaking. The study was developed with the goal to obtain comparative samples to the archaeological sets recovered in some of the sites of the studied area and to explore the potential of this raw material for the manufacture of instruments, considering its mechanical properties. This article will contribute to the interpretation of the practices and technological choices of the prehispanic populations and its relation with the local resources. The aim is to contribute to the knowledge on the human occupations of the area and provide specific data on the subject at a regional level, adding new information about the lithic materiality in agro-pastoral contexts, and paying particular attention to the treatment of a relatively little studied raw material as the quartz. El cuarzo es la materia prima dominante utilizada para la talla en las ocupaciones prehispánicas de la sierra de El Alto-Ancasti, superando el 95% en todas las muestras hasta el momento estudiadas. Un análisis experimental permitió profundizar el conocimiento sobre los modos de producción de los artefactos líticos en esta roca, haciendo hincapié en las distintas técnicas de talla identificadas, la talla directa y la talla bipolar. Estas actividades fueron desarrolladas con la finalidad de obtener muestras comparativas a los conjuntos arqueológicos recuperados en algunos de los sitios de la sierra y explorar el potencial de esta materia prima para la confección de instrumentos, en función de sus propiedades mecánicas y aptitudes para la talla. El estudio que se propone contribuirá a la interpretación de las prácticas y elecciones tecnológicas de las poblaciones serranas y su relación con los recursos locales. Se pretende aportar así al conocimiento sobre las ocupaciones humanas del área y brindar datos específicos a la temática a nivel regional, sumando nueva información acerca de la materialidad lítica en contextos agro-pastoriles, atendiendo especialmente al tratamiento de una materia prima relativamente poco estudiada como el cuarzo.
