First pre Hispanic record of obsidian in the southern foothill of the Tucuman province (Argentina): technology and provenance analysis
In this paper we present the results of the study conducted on obsidian specimens, which constitutes the first record of this kind in archaeological contexts of the southern forests of the province of Tucumán are presented.

These materials were recovered in stratigraphic layers of the first millennium AD of the Santa Rosa site, which is located at the base of the eastern slopes of the Sierra del Aconquija (Tucumán, Argentina). A techno-morphological analysis of specimens in conjunction with geochemic alanalysis using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) was performed to determine the geographical provenance of obsidian archaeological materials.

The large quarry-site distance leads us to propose that the pre-Hispanic communities in this lowland area participated in stable interaction spheres with groups of widely separated areas, promoting the circulation and exchange of obsidian in the southern portion of the Argentine NW. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio realizado sobre restos de obsidiana, los cuales constituyen los primeros registrados en contextos arqueológicos de las selvas meridionales de la provincia de Tucumán. Estos materiales fueron recuperados en capas estratigráficas del primer milenio D.C. correspondientes al sitio Santa Rosa, el cual se ubica en la base de las laderas orientales de la Sierra del Aconquija (Tucumán, Argentina). Se realizó un análisis técnico-morfológico de los especímenes, en conjunto con un análisis geoquímico mediante fluorescencia de rayos X (FRX) para determinar la procedencia geográfica de los materiales de obsidiana. Los resultados determinaron que la materia prima de la muestra, compuesta exclusivamente por desechos de talla, procede de la cantera de Ona-Las Cuevas, la cual se ubica a ca.270 km al noroeste del sitio Santa Rosa, en el norte de la provincia de Catamarca, en la Puna meridional argentina. La gran distancia sitio-cantera nos lleva a proponer que las comunidades prehispánicas de estas tierras bajas habrían participado de esferas estables de interacción con grupos de áreas muy distantes, propiciando la circulación e intercambio de obsidianas dentro de la porción meridional del NO de Argentina.
