Sumario:From research project Technological variability and social interaction networks in Northwestern Argentina through the study of lithic technology y Formative Period, lithic assemblages from diverse areas in Northwestern Argentina are analyzed with the main goal of widening studies regarding obsidian distribution spheres at about 2000 Bp. Assemblages come from: Puesto Viejo 2, in Tucumán province, Cueva de Cristóbal, in Jujuy, and SSalLaV 1(8) and Salvatierra, both of them in Salta province. In this paper a comparative analysis among mentioned assemblages is presented. The spotlight is on representation and treatment dedicated to non-local obsidians, looking for patterns in different scales and provenance sources linking raw material local offer in the sites area.
