Sumario:Within a context of long occupation of the landscape, whose central axis is the Ñirihuao stream and the Casa de Piedra de Roselló site, this paper presentes a afterthought and discussion about the use of lithic raw materials throughout 9000 years of occupational sequence, to later discuss the ways of using this landscape by the hunter-gatherers who inhabited it over time. For this, together with an analysis of the lithic artifacts and the integration of information produced from other lines of archaeological evidence, a theoretical perspective that understands that objects and different "inanimate" entities can constitute a way of entering the relationships that existed in the different human practices that occurred in this place; this implies understanding that not only people are active agents in social life. The results pont out the diachronic transcendence of this space and its possible reappropriation and resignification through time, understanding it as a living and powerful space, where multiple entities were linked in different ways over the years.
