La Quartzite selection in Morro Blanco for the manufacturing of engraving tools (Jujuy, Argentina)

The transition period between the middle and late Holocene in the Puna of Jujuy accounts for a variety of changes. The passage from a hunting-gathering strategy to a productive strategy had an impact in every activity. Such is the case of Morro Blanco. The relationship between both lines of evidence...

description The transition period between the middle and late Holocene in the Puna of Jujuy accounts for a variety of changes. The passage from a hunting-gathering strategy to a productive strategy had an impact in every activity. Such is the case of Morro Blanco. The relationship between both lines of evidence has been analysed, having identified an artefactual assemblage designated as potentially engraving tools, related to the manufacture of petroglyphs. The presence of artefacts and tools manufactured almost exclusively in quartzite was noted. We evaluate its presence in the sites, determining whether there was an intentional selection process. The objective is to delve into the first step of the manufacturing process of the potential engraving tools from a technological point of view, emphasising the importance quartzite had in the process of intentionally selecting lithic raw materials, supporting the hypothesis that this tools were in fact used to manufacture engravings.
