Analyses in landscapes with high availability of lithic raw materials. The sources and quarries of La María, Santa Cruz province
The landscape of the southern section of the central plateau of Santa Cruz -and specifically La María Archaeological Locality- is plenty of rocks. We have performed systematic analyses of raw material sources from La María for 15 years. The aim of this paper is threefold: to present a methodological...

| description |
The landscape of the southern section of the central plateau of Santa Cruz -and specifically La María Archaeological Locality- is plenty of rocks. We have performed systematic analyses of raw material sources from La María for 15 years. The aim of this paper is threefold: to present a methodological synthesis, to communicate the structure of lithic resources of the locality and to discuss the strategies of acquisition and exploitation of raw materials applied in local quarries. More than 50% of the surface of La María is covered by geological formations with abundant stones of very good quality for knapping. Sources are visible and easy to access. The characteristics of the lithic remains indicate that past societies used these quarries intensively. There, they shaped cores and produced blanks. Strategies aiming at optimizing the performance of raw materials were not applied. This is something to be expected in a landscape with high availability of raw materials such as La María. |

El sector meridional de la Meseta Central de Santa Cruz, y particularmente la Localidad arqueológica La María, constituye un paisaje de alta disponibilidad de rocas. Desde hace 15 años llevamos adelante estudios sistemáticos sobre las fuentes de materias primas halladas allí. En este trabajo los objetivos son dar a conocer una síntesis de los procedimientos metodológicos aplicados, presentar la estructura de recursos de la localidad y discutir las estrategias de aprovisionamiento y explotación de rocas implementadas en canteras. En La María afloran –en más del 50% de su área– formaciones geológicas que presentan gran abundancia de rocas de muy buena calidad para la talla. Las fuentes son visibles y fácilmente accesibles. Las características de los restos indican que las sociedades pasadas tuvieron una intensa actividad de talla en las canteras, donde prepararon los núcleos y se obtuvieron formas base. Asimismo, no desarrollaron estrategias que optimicen el rendimiento de las materias primas. Esto es esperable en paisajes con alta disponibilidad como La María. A paisagem da seção sul do planalto central de Santa Cruz - e especificamente a localidade arqueológica de La María - é cheia de rochas. Realizamos análises sistemáticas de fontes de matérias-primas de La María há 15 anos. O objetivo deste artigo é triplo: apresentar uma síntese metodológica, comunicar a estrutura dos recursos líticos da localidade e discutir as estratégias de aquisição e exploração de matérias-primas aplicadas em pedreiras locais. Mais de 50% da superfície de La María é coberta por formações geológicas com abundantes pedras de muito boa qualidade para prender. As fontes são visíveis e fáceis de acessar. As características dos restos líticos indicam que as sociedades passadas usaram essas pedreiras intensivamente. Lá, eles moldaram núcleos e produziram espaços em branco. Estratégias que visam otimizar o desempenho das matérias-primas não foram aplicadas. Isso é algo esperado em um cenário com alta disponibilidade de matérias-primas, como La María.
