Silcrete as a valuable resource for stone tool manufacture and its use by Paleo-American hunter–gatherers in southeastern South America

In the mid-eastern part of the southern cone of South America, sources of silcrete extend from eastern Entre Ríos province in Argentina to mid-western Uruguay. As a material for stone tool manufacture this rock was used with different levels of intensity in the regional archaeological record. In are...
