| description |
The study of quartz as a raw material for the manufacturation of lithic instruments has increased in the last years, with an important development of analytical strategies to understand the technological choices made by ancient flintknappers. In our particular case, we have done an experimental approach with the main goal of differentiate between the use of direct knapping and bipolar technique and to compare with the materials recovered from the archaeological sites of El Alto-Ancasti mountains chronologically dated in the second half of the First millennia of the era.
Our goal here is to present new lines of evidence based on the results of experimental approach and lithic assemblages through metric and geometry morphometric analysis. Our hypothesis is that different knapping techniques were performed to obtain diverse blanks to manufacture specific instruments. In this article, we compare the length, width and thickness. In addition, we performed a geometrical morphometric analysis to identify tendencies in blanks used to manufacture different types of instruments. |

El estudio del cuarzo como materia prima para la manufactura de instrumentos líticos ha ido aumentando, desarrollándose nuevas estrategias analíticas para comprender las elecciones tecnológicas de los antiguos talladores. En nuestro caso particular, hemos desarrollado una experimentación tendiente a diferenciar los resultados obtenidos mediante talla directa y talla bipolar, comparando con los resultados de los sitios excavados en la Sierra de El Alto-Ancasti, Catamarca, ubicados cronológicamente en la segunda mitad del primer milenio de la era. Nuestro objetivo aquí es el de aportar nuevas vías de estudio con base en los materiales de experimentación y los conjuntos arqueológicos a partir del estudio de variables métricas y el desarrollo de análisis de morfometría geométrica. La principal hipótesis de partida se basa en que las técnicas de talla fueron utilizadas para la obtención de formas base diferentes, para la manufactura de instrumentos particulares. Para ello comparamos los datos métricos de largo, ancho y espesor. El estudio de la morfometría geométrica se centró en el mismo tema, evaluando la presencia de tendencias distintas en las formas base de instrumentos con funcionalidades diferentes. O estudo do quartzo como matéria-prima para a fabricação de instrumentos líticos aumentou nos últimos anos, com um importante desenvolvimento de estratégias analíticas para entender as escolhas tecnológicas feitas pelos antigos flintknappers. Em nosso caso particular, fizemos uma abordagem experimental com o objetivo principal de diferenciar o uso da técnica de knapping direto e bipolar e comparar com os materiais recuperados dos sítios arqueológicos das montanhas El Alto-Ancasti, datadas cronologicamente na segunda metade de os primeiros milênios da época.Nosso objetivo aqui é apresentar novas linhas de evidência baseadas nos resultados da abordagem experimental e das assembléias líticas através da análise morfométrica métrica e geométrica. Nossa hipótese é que diferentes técnicas de fixação foram realizadas para obter diversos espaços em branco para fabricar instrumentos específicos. Neste artigo, comparamos comprimento, largura e espessura. Além disso, realizamos uma análise morfométrica geométrica para identificar tendências em espaços em branco utilizados na fabricação de diferentes tipos de instrumentos.
