| description |
This article presents a synthesis of geoarchaeological studies of lithic raw material sources and quarries from three high-altitude areas in Mendoza and San Juan (29–34°S). These studies sought to identify the origin of the geological outcrops, their availability to humans as lithic resource, means of provisioning, and variable production systems. The studies rely on interdisciplinary field surveys and incorporate a variety of methods such as petrography, geochemistry, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In the San Juan province (29°S), ten primary and secondary lithic sources were differentially exploited for around 8500 years. In the northwest of Mendoza province (32°S), Darwin’s petrified forest and the Los Colorados formation were used as quarries. In the center of Mendoza province (34°S), two local obsidian geochemical signatures were identified. We emphasize the potential of this kind of studies to evaluate continuities and changes in human mobility strategies in high-altitude areas in central western Argentina. |

Se presenta una síntesis de resultados de estudios geoarqueológicos de fuentes y canteras líticas ubicadas en ambientes de altura de Mendoza y San Juan (29°-34° S). Se comparan tres casos orientados a conocer la génesis de las rocas, su disponibilidad como recurso lítico, los modos de aprovisionamiento y los variables sistemas de producción. Los trabajos se basan en relevamientos interdisciplinarios de campo y la aplicación de diversos métodos de análisis petrográficos, geoquímicos y de SIG. En San Juan (29° S) se identificaron diez fuentes primarias y secundarias que fueron explotadas diferencialmente durante ca. 8500 años. En el noroeste de Mendoza (32° S) se constató la explotación como cantera lítica de los bosques petrificados de Darwin y de la formación Los Colorados. En el centro de Mendoza (34° S) se identificaron dos señales químicas locales de obsidiana. Se enfatiza el potencial de estos estudios para indagar sobre cambios y continuidades en estrategias humanas de explotación de ambientes de altura del centro occidente de Argentina. É apresentada uma síntese dos resultados de estudos geoarqueológicos de fontes e pedreiras líticas localizadas em ambientes de alta altitude de Mendoza e San Juan (29°-34°S). Três casos orientados para conhecer a gênese das rochas, a sua disponibilidade como recurso lítico, os modos de suprimento e os sistemas variáveis de produção são comparados. Os trabalhos são baseados em pesquisas de campo interdisciplinares e na aplicação de vários métodos de análise petrográfica, geoquímica e SIG. Em San Juan (29°S) foram identificadas dez fontes primárias e secundárias que foram exploradas diferencialmente durante ca. 8500 anos. No noroeste de Mendoza (32°S) foi verificada a exploração como pedreira das florestas petrificadas de Darwin e a formação de Los Colorados. No centro de Mendoza (34°S), dois sinais locais de obsidiana química foram identificados. É enfatizado o potencial desses estudos para investigar mudanças e continuidades nas estratégias humanas para explorar ambientes de alta altitude na região centro-oeste da Argentina.
