Lithic production in quarry-workshops of Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca). A contribution to understand lithic record and their techno- typological diversity ; Producción lítica en canteras-taller de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca).

Lithic record of the quarry-workshops is the product of multiple activities and physical actions developed during millennia of exploitation of lithic resources. These practices generated materialities with technical-typological attributes that are distinctive. The aim of this research was to know the different knowledge and technical procedures developed by artisans in quarries-workshops and their expression in material culture. In this framework, samplings and a technical-typological analysis of cores, flakes and knapping tools were developed. First, different types of cores were recorded. This are related to particular “ways of doing”. In second place, flakes with particular technicaltypological attributes were documented. This are linked to the flakes-cores reductions or to blanks kanpping. Third, knapping tools show physical actions in order to create, and possibly use, different kinds of products. In conclusion, from this research it was possible to access a technological dimension of the activities of knapping activities in quarries-workshop. On the other hand, it was possible to register different “practical knowledge” and its expression in material culture. ; El registro lítico de los contextos de aprovisionamiento es el producto de múltiples actividades y acciones físicas desarrolladas durante milenios de explotación de recursos. Estas prácticas generaron diversas materialidades con atributos tecno-tipológicos distintivos. El objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer los distintos saberes y procedimientos técnicos desarrollados por los artesanos en canteras-taller y su expresión en la cultura material. En este marco, se desarrollaron muestreos y un análisis tecno-tipológico de núcleos, desechos de talla y artefactos formatizados. En primer lugar, se registraron diferentes tipos de núcleos que se relacionan con formas de manipulación de las rocas y “modos de hacer” particulares. En segundo lugar, se reconocieron conjuntos de lascas que se vinculan con la talla de lascas-nucleiformes o con la manufactura ...
