| Sumario: | This paper presents the results of the experimental use-wear analysis applied to lithic raw materials from different outcrops of Entre Ríos province. These include sandstones with different degrees of silicification and mineralogical composition, basalts, limestones and siltstones. These rocks come from different geological formations, which are located within the Paraná river basin and along the Uruguay River basin. The variables controlled in the usewear experiments were: raw material, kinematics, material worked, state of the material worked, angle of work, edge angle, edge morphology and time of use. The results obtained from the experimental program allowed to identify and characterize the usewear traces generated from the work of different materials with different kinematics in these raw materials which have been little explored from the perspective of use-wear analysis. They form a solid frame of reference for the subsequent study of artifacts from archaeological contexts. |
