| Sumario: | This article presents a descriptive approach of the lithic assemblage of the Estación Puquios site (21°0’4.48”S, 68°23’12.04”O), located at 4169 masn. In the municipality of Ollagüe, Antofagasta region, northern Chile. Environmental and natural conditions of this site were favorable for the settlement of hunter-gatherers during the chronological sequence of the Archaic period (ca. 10.500-3.500 14C BP). Knapped stone tools were documented and typologically evaluated by the means of a ‘virtual surface collection’. This analysis suggests that the area was integrated in mobility systems linked to the supply of local raw materials, and to discard the understanding of its use as a logistic station integrated in long-range mobility systems. |
