Lithic raw materials and technology on the west coast of San Matías gulf and its immediate inland (Río Negro Province, Argentina). A comparative study

In this paper, we present the first results of the analysis of the artifactual sample recovered in surface contexts at Paredón de los Grabados area (Río Negro province, Argentina). The raw materials and certain technological characteristics of the assemblages were studied. Also, we carried out a bri...

Un estudio comparativo Alberti, Jimena tecnología lítica instrumentos cazadores-recolectores Holoceno medio y tardío Patagonia Argentina lithic technology instruments hunter-gatherers Middle and Late Holocene Argentinian Patagonia In this paper, we present the first results of the analysis of the artifactual sample recovered in surface contexts at Paredón de los Grabados area (Río Negro province, Argentina). The raw materials and certain technological characteristics of the assemblages were studied. Also, we carried out a brief comparison with the lithic assemblages from the West coast of San Matías Gulf, in the aforementioned province. The results indicate that the inland assemblages present a higher proportion of instruments, more advanced flaking stages, instruments with simple edges mainly and the use of excellent and very good quality rocks for flaking activities. The sample would indicate a space equipment through the abandonment of instruments with potential of use, unlike what happens on the coast where this would have occurred through the abandonment of cores. Also, the coastal assemblages show greater variability regarding the quality of the rocks that were used and a great presence of the reduction process first stages. Finally, it has not been possible to establish a clear relationship between the coast and the interior taking into account the lithic analysis. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de los primeros análisis de la muestra artefactual recuperada en contextos de superficie en el área Paredón de los Grabados (provincia de Río Negro, Argentina). Se estudiaron las materias primas y se relevaron distintos indicadores para dar cuenta de la variabilidad tecnológica del conjunto. A su vez, se realizó una breve comparación con los conjuntos de artefactos de la costa oeste del golfo San Matías, en la mencionada provincia. Los resultados indican que en el interior del continente los conjuntos presentan una mayor proporción de instrumentos, estadios de talla más avanzados, predominan los filos simples y fueron utilizadas principalmente rocas de calidad excelente y muy buena para la talla. La muestra general indicaría un equipamiento del espacio a través del abandono de instrumentos con potencial de uso, a diferencia de lo que sucede en la costa en donde esto se habría dado a través de los núcleos y en donde los conjuntos presentan mayor variabilidad respecto de la calidad de las rocas utilizadas, observándose también estadios iniciales de talla. Finalmente, no ha sido posible establecer, a partir del análisis lítico, una relación clara entre la costa y el interior.
