Sumario:Chaîne operatoires analyses have been one of the most developed themes in the lithic technology studies of those hunter-gatherer groups that inhabit the lower basin of the Colorado river. In this frame, the present work evaluates the volumetric management of cores on pebbles during the middle, initial late and final late Holocene. The results obtained indicate that, throughout the occupation, the groups shared the same technical knowledge. This can be observed in the employment of débitage methods that implied the knapping of the pebbles in a parallel, transverse or secant way according to its longitudinal axis.
