I28-R145-14187_oai2025-11-17 Marozzi, Óscar 2025-02-03 The Urupez archaeological site provides extensive stratigraphic evidence of the technological components associated with fishtail projectile points. A recent archaeological excavation on the farm where this site is located has uncovered new information about its archaeological deposits. Observations on the local stratigraphic matrix, the distribution of the artifact assemblages, and the radiocarbon dates obtained from the sediments suggest a complexity in the formation processes of the site that was not previously considered or reported. The new evidence indicates inconsistencies in the resolution of the defined archaeological components. The results show that the contextual and chronological relationships reported on the earliest assemblages are weak and require revision. The article discusses the discovery of new lithic artifacts at the Urupez archaeological site, which are associated with early bifacial technology. These artifacts include a 'fishtail' projectile point. The significance of Urupez as a site for understanding human migrations at the end of the Pleistocene is emphasized. The article also reaffirms the need to expand the well-documented stratigraphic and chronological evidence for a correct legitimization of its early contexts. 2.14.0.0 2.14.0.0 El sitio arqueológico Urupez es considerado la mejor evidencia estratigráfica de los componentes tecnológicos asociado a las puntas de proyectil “cola de pescado”. Una reciente intervención arqueológica en el predio donde se ubica este sitio ha permitido colectar nueva información en sus depósitos arqueológicos. Observaciones sobre la matriz estratigráfica local, la distribución de conjuntos artefactuales y fechas de radiocarbono obtenidas de los sedimentos sugieren complejidad en los procesos de formación del sitio no considerados e informados previamente. La nueva evidencia sugiere inconsistencias en la resolución de los componentes arqueológicos definidos. Los resultados reflejan que las relaciones contextuales y cronológicas reportadas sobre los conjuntos tempranos son débiles y necesitan ser revisadas. En el contexto de esta discusión se informa para el sitio la presencia de nuevos artefactos líticos asociados a la tecnología bifacial temprana, que incluye una punta de proyectil “cola de pescado”. Se reafirma la importancia de Urupez como sitio arqueológico para conocer sobre las migraciones humanas a fines del Pleistoceno y la necesidad de ampliar la evidencia estratigráfica y cronológica bien documentada para una correcta legitimación de sus contextos tempranos. 2.14.0.0 2.14.0.0 application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14187 10.34096/arqueologia.t31.n1.14187 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14187/13955 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14187/13956 Derechos de autor 2025 Óscar Marozzi Arqueología; Vol. 31 No. 1 (2025): enero-abril; 14187 Arqueología; Vol. 31 Núm. 1 (2025): enero-abril; 14187 1853-8126 0327-5159 South America Fishtail technology Stratigraphic context América del Sur Tecnología cola de pescado Contexto estratigráfico The Urupez archaeological site: data, analysis, and new perspectives on a Late Pleistocene artifact assemblage in Uruguay El sitio arqueológico Urupez: datos, análisis y nuevas perspectivas de un yacimiento arqueológico del Pleistoceno tardío en la región sureste de Uruguay info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=14187_oai |

The Urupez archaeological site provides extensive stratigraphic evidence of the technological components associated with fishtail projectile points. A recent archaeological excavation on the farm where this site is located has uncovered new information about its archaeological deposits. Observations on the local stratigraphic matrix, the distribution of the artifact assemblages, and the radiocarbon dates obtained from the sediments suggest a complexity in the formation processes of the site that was not previously considered or reported. The new evidence indicates inconsistencies in the resolution of the defined archaeological components. The results show that the contextual and chronological relationships reported on the earliest assemblages are weak and require revision. The article discusses the discovery of new lithic artifacts at the Urupez archaeological site, which are associated with early bifacial technology. These artifacts include a 'fishtail' projectile point. The significance of Urupez as a site for understanding human migrations at the end of the Pleistocene is emphasized. The article also reaffirms the need to expand the well-documented stratigraphic and chronological evidence for a correct legitimization of its early contexts.
