| Sumario: | In this paper, we analyze techno-morphologically the formatted artifacts registered in the Abra del Toro workshop, Yocavil valley, Catamarca. We emphasize that a high frequency of bifaces that were modified and used as projectile point supports stand out in the artefactual set. Analysis about their design allow us to identify the presence of morphological types recognizable since the Early Holocene. Through our results, we argue that Abra del Toro workshop became a node where hunters-gatherers participated since millennia in their training, building a sector of the landscape where they produce and discard their tools. At a regional scale, this paper is an imput for the comprehension about the ways of inhabiting the landscape by the first prehistoric occupations in the Yocavil valley. While at an artefactual and site scale allows us to know the production processes and the decisions of the artisans in the manufacture of lithic artifacts. |
