| Sumario: | The Hangar site is located in the General Lamadrid county, in the northwest sector of the Interserrana area province of Buenos Aires. The archaeological assemblage is integrated by lithic, faunal, and ceramic materials recovered both in superficial and in stratigraphic position. This paper presents the results of the lithic artifacts collected in the surface, focusing on those that were made on the most represented raw materials, chert, orthoquartzite Sierras Bayas Group, and silicified limestone. The production objectives and the stages of the operational sequence were identified for each raw material. The results show a high percentage and variety of tools, with an important proportion of scrapers and projectile points. In relation to the provisioning of the rocks, artifacts were made of raw materials from the Humid and Dry Pampas sub-regions. This indicates that during the final late Holocene there was a significant circulation of raw materials, distant up to 400 km away from the site. |
