The studies of the lithic technology of the occupations of the second half of the era’s first millennium in El Alto-Ancasti mountains have allowed us to infer a production characterized by a simple manufacture, with low degree of formatization of the instruments, in which the use of quartz as raw ma...

description The studies of the lithic technology of the occupations of the second half of the era’s first millennium in El Alto-Ancasti mountains have allowed us to infer a production characterized by a simple manufacture, with low degree of formatization of the instruments, in which the use of quartz as raw material stands out. However, quartz presents intrinsic characteristics of its composition which makes the identification of diagnostic anthropic features, that give us information about the production histories and the different strategies implemented by the carvers, difficult to diagnose. Due to this, an experimental approach oriented to the treatment of this raw material was undertaken, through different knapping techniques. We intend to test the potential of experimentation to infer behaviors that cannot be directly observed with the descriptive analyses that we have been carrying out in the lithic assemblages of the zone.
