Lithic technology among societies of the Late Prehispanic period (Sierras of Córdoba, Argentina)
This paper presents the results of an analysis of the lithic technology from two Sierras de Córdoba (Argentina) Late Prehispanic open air sites (ca. 1500-360 BP, Argentina): C. Pun.39 (Punilla Valley) and Puesto La Esquina 1 (Pampa of Olaen). The aims of the study were to recognize the stages of art...

| Sumario: | This paper presents the results of an analysis of the lithic technology from two Sierras de Córdoba (Argentina) Late Prehispanic open air sites (ca. 1500-360 BP, Argentina): C. Pun.39 (Punilla Valley) and Puesto La Esquina 1 (Pampa of Olaen). The aims of the study were to recognize the stages of artifact elaboration represented in the sites, as well as the strategies that these societies adopted for the organization of their lithic technology. The results indicate the existence of a technology that combined different strategies, related to the dynamics of occupation and residential mobility employed by these societies, which can be interpreted from the use made of lithic raw materials and design variables of artifacts. The analysis supports the idea that the adoption of agricultural strategies (ca. 1500 BP) was accompanied by an intensification of extractive practices, the development of technologies for hunting and the processing of by-products. In this way, the study of lithic technology allows us to interpret how these societies adjusted their technological behavior to the changing circumstances of the environment, including the availability of raw materials. |
