RESUMENEn este trabajo se analiza la funcionalidad de la Cantera de Sílex del Sector Cañadón de la Mina, Localidad Arqueológica La María, Meseta Central de Santa Cruz, Argentina. Se examinan las características tecnológicas de los restos presentes allí y se evalúa si la cantera funcionó sólo como fuente de aprovisionamiento o también como taller lítico de los estadios iniciales en el proceso de elaboración de instrumentos. Además, se explora su relación con el sitio Casa del Minero 1, ubicado en el mismo sector. De manera más general, se busca aportar datos que permitan analizar a largo plazo las estrategias de aprovisionamiento y reducción de las materias primas, las estrategias de uso de espacios específicos como canteras y la planificación de ciertas actividades relacionadas a la organización de la tecnología lítica de los grupos que habitaron esta región. ABSTRACTThis paper studies the functionality of a flint quarry (Cantera de Sílex) from Cañadón de la Mina Sector, La María Archaeological Locality, Santa Cruz Central Plateau, Argentina. The technological characteristics of the remains found there are analyzed. It is examined if the quarry worked only as a source of raw material or if it was used also as a lithic workshop for the first stages in the toolmaking process. The relationship with Casa del Minero 1 site, located at the same sector, is also examined. More generally, this paper intends to add valuable data which will allow to evaluate in the long term the raw material sourcing and the reduction strategies, as well as the strategies for the use of specific spaces such as quarries and the planning of certain activities related to the organization of the lithic technology of the groups that inhabited this region.
