Laura 2018-02-01 In this article, we present the study of two wooden awls found near the archaeological site of Roca del Cura in the archaeological area of Punta Medanosa (Santa Cruz, Argentina). Our aim was to identify the wooden taxa, as well as provide a morphological description of the tools. The artifacts functionality is discussed in relation to other bone instruments found along the Northern Santa Cruz Coast (CNSC), including research on leather and basketry operating chains, undertaken by other researchers. The artifacts were examined under a binocular microscope. While histological sections of the wood were taken and compared against reference material and specialized bibliography. The wood was identified as Schinus sp. (molle); a shrub taxa that is still present in the surrounding area. We suggested the local manufacture of these tools, and that they may have been employed on soft materials such as fibers for basket weaving and ceramic decoration. Se presenta el estudio de dos punzones de madera hallados en las proximidades de Roca del Cura, localidad arqueológica de Punta Medanosa, Santa Cruz, Argentina. El objetivo de este trabajo es describir la morfología de los instrumentos e identificar taxonómicamente la madera de estos punzones. Se discute la funcionalidad de los artefactos al considerar el soporte con el que fueron realizados en relación con otros instrumentos en hueso hallados en la costa norte de Santa Cruz (CNSC) y trabajos realizados por otros investigadores sobre cadenas operativas de cuero y cestería. Los artefactos se observaron bajo lupa binocular, se realizaron los cortes histológicos diagnósticos de la madera, se observaron al microscopio óptico y se comparó con material de referencia y bibliografía específica. La madera identificada pertenece a Schinus sp. (molle), arbustos que se encuentran en la actualidad en la zona circundante al área del hallazgo. Se sugiere la manufactura local de los instrumentos y su posible utilización en el trabajo de materiales blandos como fibras para cestería y decoración incisa en cerámica. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4231 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n1.4231 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4231/3789 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2018): enero-abril; 173-190 Arqueología; Vol 24 No 1 (2018): enero-abril; 173-190 1853-8126 0327-5159 Awls Wood Hunter-gatherers North Coast of Santa Cruz Punzones Madera Cazadores-recolectores Costa norte de Santa Cruz Archaeological wooden awls from Punta Medanosa (North Coast of Santa Cruz, Argentina) Punzones de madera arqueológicos de Punta Medanosa (costa norte de Santa Cruz, Argentina) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=4231_oai
