Intentional Breakage of Stone Tools in the Pampean Region, Argentina
In this paper we deal with the intentional breakage of objects, more precisely with intentional breakage of flaked stone tools. In the first place we present a brief characterization of different types of intentional fractures on lithics and of those traits that allows their recognition. This charac...

In the first place we present a brief characterization of different types of intentional fractures on lithics and of those traits that allows their recognition. This characterization is based on a synthesis of the descriptions given by other researchers and our own experimental results. The deliberate breakage of objects has been given different explanations according to the specific contexts in which it was recognized and to the objects on which it was performed. It has been linked to different technological strategies and it has been also considered as evidence of ritual practices. Finally, we present two case studies of the Pampean Region with intentional breakage on stone tools. En este trabajo abordamos la rotura intencional de ciertos objetos y específicamente de los artefactos líticos formatizados por talla. En primer lugar, presentamos una breve caracterización de los distintos tipos de fractura intencional y de los atributos que permiten identificarlas, basada en la síntesis de diversas descripciones otorgadas por otros investigadores y de resultados experimentales propios. En segundo lugar, se reseñan algunas de las explicaciones dadas a la presencia de objetos con roturas intencionales en contextos arqueológicos. La presencia de objetos con rotura intencional fue interpretada como una práctica asociada a diferentes estrategias tecnológicas y también como evidencia de prácticas rituales, según los objetos sobre los que se realiza o el contexto de depositación. Finalmente, se presentan como ejemplo dos casos de estudio de la Región Pampeana bonaerense en los que se reconocieron artefactos líticos formatizados con roturas intencionales y se proponen interpretaciones para la presencia de esta práctica en estos sitios.
