Sumario:Lithic raw material studies were a key impulse to Pampean archaeology. The identification of lithic procurement areas goes back to the 1990´s and continues today. Different research teams, working for different institutions, have produced important information on this subject. Also, diverse methodologies and theoretical perspectives were applied to these studies. As a consequence, there is an important, but heterogeneous, body of knowledge published dispersed way. In this paper we present a review of the literature on lithic raw material sources in Buenos Aires province in the Pampean Region (Argentina). Our main goal is to synthesize and systematize the published information, in order to lay foundations for the creation of an open digital data base to bring together such information. Finally, we consider that a previous general discussion and agreement on certain issues are necessary when creating a collective construction useful for the whole academic community.
