| description |
The studies of the lithic technology of the occupations of the second half of the era’s first millennium in El Alto-Ancasti mountains have allowed us to infer a production characterized by a simple manufacture, with low degree of formatization of the instruments, in which the use of quartz as raw material stands out. However, quartz presents intrinsic characteristics of its composition which makes the identification of diagnostic anthropic features, that give us information about the production histories and the different strategies implemented by the carvers, difficult to diagnose. Due to this, an experimental approach oriented to the treatment of this raw material was undertaken, through different knapping techniques. We intend to test the potential of experimentation to infer behaviors that cannot be directly observed with the descriptive analyses that we have been carrying out in the lithic assemblages of the zone. |

Los estudios de la tecnología lítica de las ocupaciones de la segunda mitad del primer milenio de la era en la Sierra de El Alto-Ancasti nos han permitido pensar en una producción caracterizada por una manufactura simple, de bajo grado de formatización de los instrumentos, donde destaca el aprovechamiento del cuarzo como materia prima. El cuarzo presenta características intrínsecas propias de su composición que dificultan la identificación de rasgos antrópicos diagnósticos que nos otorguen información sobre las historias de producción y las diferentes estrategias implementadas por los talladores a la hora de confeccionar su instrumental. Debido a esto se emprendió un abordaje experimental orientado a someter a prueba hipótesis explicativas sobre el comportamiento de esta materia prima ante diferentes técnicas de talla. Pretendemos probar la potencialidad de la experimentación para inferir comportamientos que no pueden ser observados directamente con los análisis descriptivos que venimos realizando en los conjuntos líticos de la zona. Os estudos da tecnologia lítica das ocupações da segunda metade do primeiro milênio da época na Serra de El Alto-Ancasti permitiram pensar numa produção caracterizada pela fabricação simples, com baixo grau de formatação dos instrumentos, onde destaca o uso do quartzo como matéria-prima. O quartzo apresenta características intrínsecas da sua composição que dificultam a identificação de características antrópicas de diagnóstico que nos fornecem informações sobre históricos de produção e as diferentes estratégias implementadas pelos entalhadores na fabricação dos seus instrumentos. Devido a isso, uma abordagem experimental foi realizada para testar hipóteses explicativas sobre o comportamento dessa matéria-prima antes de diferentes técnicas de escultura. Pretendemos testar a potencialidade da experimentação para inferir comportamentos que não podem ser observados diretamente com as análises descritivas que estamos realizando nos grupos líticos da região.
