| description |
This work assessess the impact of taphonomic processes on the surface lithic record of La Verdadera Argentina
archaeological locality (Santa Cruz, Argentina). Different stages of weathering were observed on lithic artifacts´
surfaces, the edges consistently exhibiting less intense alteration, which may be the result of a reclamation
process of the archaeological record or of animal trampling. At such, this project was designed to understand
the potential effect of animal trampling on surface lithic artifacts. Toward this end, two experimental plots were
established in La Verdadera Argentina. Results of these actualistic tests are used as a frame of reference for the
taphonomic analysis of the surface artifact assemblage recovered along an archaeological survey transect (T9).
Preliminary results indicate that the effects of taphonomic processes are registered very quickly. The hypothesis
explaining the edge modifications observed in the local lithic record as a result of taphonomic processes cannot
be discarded. |
