Core distribution in the central sector of the Somuncurá plateau (Río Negro, Argentina). Relationships between the regional lithic base resources and lithic raw materials

In this paper we address rock procurement among hunter-gatherers societies from Somuncurá plateau through the study of cores and quarries. Different analyses allowed us to infer the possible trajectories of the main raw materials recognized in the Talagapa stream basin: chalcedony, brown chert and o...

Lithic technology Cores Hunter-gatherers North Patagonia Tecnología lítica Núcleos Cazadores-recolectores Norpatagonia In this paper we address rock procurement among hunter-gatherers societies from Somuncurá plateau through the study of cores and quarries. Different analyses allowed us to infer the possible trajectories of the main raw materials recognized in the Talagapa stream basin: chalcedony, brown chert and obsidian. The raw materials and cores distribution allowed us to distinguish different provisioning strategies, use patterns and cores discard. The use of the most frequently represented rocks is related to the trajectories. While chalcedony had a main role, brown chert acted as a complement in certain sectors in the basin and obsidian appears as a secondary raw material. El presente trabajo aborda la problemática del aprovisionamiento de rocas por las sociedades de cazadores-recolectores de la meseta de Somuncurá a través del estudio de los núcleos y su relación con las fuentes de aprovisionamiento. Diferentes análisis nos permitieron inferir posibles trayectorias de las principales materias primas reconocidas en la cuenca del arroyo Talagapa: calcedonia, sílice marrón y obsidiana. La distribución de núcleos y de fuentes permitió distinguir distintas estrategias de aprovisionamiento de rocas y distinguir patrones de uso y descarte de los núcleos. El uso de las tres materias primas más representadas se relaciona con las trayectorias diferenciales de las rocas. Mientras que la calcedonia ocupó un papel principal, el sílice marrón actuó como complemento en determinados sectores de la cuenca, y la obsidiana se muestra como un recurso secundario.  Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2016-06-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3207 10.34096/arqueologia.t22.n2.3207 Arqueología; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2016): mayo-agosto; 291-310 Arqueología; Vol 22 No 2 (2016): May-August; 291-310 1853-8126 0327-5159 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3207/2873
