“…En cuanto a las materias primas, se utilizó la clasificación generada para el área, realizada a partir de estudios geológicos y petrológicos de fuentes de aprovisionamiento y de muestras arqueológicas de Cueva Maripe y otros sitios (Cattáneo 2004;Hermo 2008;Magnin 2015;.…”

“…La utilización de materias primas de muy buena calidad como el ópalo y xilópalo se encuentran presentes con porcentajes considerables, utilizadas en la manufactura de raederas, bifaces y unifaces, instrumentos que han sido recuperados únicamente en capa 5 y de tamaños grandes y muy grandes (ver Figura 2). Por otro lado, si bien estimamos que la obtención de estas materias primas es local y procedente de una fuente secundaria de aprovisionamiento denominada LP-P1 Magnin 2015), las mismas podrían haber sido igualmente obtenidas de fuentes primarias, localizadas a una mayor distancia e identificadas en el MNBP (ca. 80 km de distancia en línea recta).…”

Resumen. En este trabajo se analizan los conjuntos líticos del sitio Cueva Maripe, ubicado en el Macizo del Deseado (Prov. de Santa Cruz, Argentina), donde se registraron ocupaciones desde ca. 9500 hasta ca. 1000 años radiocarbónicos AP. Se indaga acerca de las estrategias de producción lítica asociadas a los diferentes períodos de ocupación identificados en la cueva, que corresponden a distintos momentos del Holoceno. Para ello se realizaron análisis tecno-morfológicos de los productos de talla, principalmente en relación al uso de las materias primas y al diseño artefactual. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian ciertas diferencias en relación a estos tópicos para los distintos bloques temporales registrados en Cueva Maripe. Ello ha permitido profundizar y ampliar el conocimiento acerca de estas ocupaciones e indirectamente de la relación que estos grupos cazadores-recolectores tenían con su entorno.

“…The Uruguayan territory, in the South America Southern Cone (see Figures 1 and 2), offers a unique environment for these studies, since it was a very rich and diverse lithic landscape for indigenous artisans, for knapping and grinding. This is in contrast with others areas of the Southern Cone such as the Pampean region where lithic resources are highly localised (e.g., Bayón et al 1999;Colombo 2013;, although there do exist other regions with abundant and widely distributed resources, such as Patagonia (e.g., Borrero & Franco 1997;Magnin 2015). The aim of this article is to present a history of lithic procurement studies in Uruguay.…”

Abstract:Being a territory with several minerals and rocks suitable for knapping and grinding, Uruguay offered a lithic-rich environment for past indigenous cultures in the Southern Cone of South America. In this paper, a history of lithic procurement studies in Uruguay is presented. Three main periods are discriminated, paying attention to authors' theoretical and methodological contributions to the field. Firstly, a period with general mention to raw materials utilised by indigenous groups, including those historically known, is recognised at least since the last decades of the nineteenth century. Secondly, a period involving description of lithic resources available at a national scale as well as the first detailed observations of lithic sources and possible means of procurement can be distinguished between the 1950s and the mid-1980s. Lastly, beginning with salvage archaeology in the eastern region, the current period of research (i.e. the last thirty years) is characterised by contextualising lithic procurement within issues of lithic technological organisation and settlement patterns of indigenous groups. The current period of studies has involved two different approaches: 1) technological analysis of lithic artefacts and comparison of raw material with previously-published geological data; 2) utilisation of field survey data that locate and map lithic resources, and characterisation of visual (macroscopic, microscopic, or both macroscopic and microscopic) and geochemical components of these resources. Within the latter, studies can be further arranged according to the main temporal framework used to contextualise research problems. On the one hand, questions involving lithic procurement of early hunter-gatherers (who arrived ca. 12,000 BP) since the end of the 1990s have included surveys of potential and utilised sources, the first thin-section-based petrographic studies and the distinction of different local, regional and long-distance procurement strategies. On the other hand, cultural changes since the Middle Holocene have framed lithic source survey studies to answer questions of resource accessibility for coastal groups during sea level changes, as well as for other now-diverse groups such as the lowland moundbuilders. Finally, considerations for future research are made by reconsidering recent developments alongside the history of lithic procurement studies in Uruguay.

“…Managing multiple information sources collected at different spatial resolutions is an unavoidable task in the reconstruction of ancient lithic landscapes [18], and GIS have greatly assisted this process in archaeological studies that range from local [90][91][92] and regional [18,93] to macro-regional scales [94].…”

Beyond Site Detection: The Role of Satellite Remote Sensing in Analysing Archaeological Problems. A Case Study in Lithic Resource Procurement in the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile

et al. 2019

Remote sensing archaeology in recent years has emphasized the use of high-precision and high-accuracy tools to achieve the detailed documentation of archaeological elements (drones, LIDAR, etc.). Satellite remote sensing has also benefited from an increase in the spatial and spectral resolution of the sensors, which is enabling the discovery and documentation of new archaeological features and sites worldwide. While there can be no doubt that a great deal is being gained via such “site detection” approaches, there still remains the possibility of further exploring remote sensing methods to analyse archaeological problems. In this paper, this issue is discussed by focusing on one common archaeological topic: the mapping of environmental resources used in the past and, in particular, the procurement of lithic raw material by hunter-gatherer groups. This is illustrated by showing how the combined use of Landsat 8 images and “ground-truthing” via focused field studies has allowed the identification of a number of potential chert sources, the major lithic resource used by coastal groups between 11,500–1,500 cal. BP, in a vast area of the Atacama Desert covering 22,500 km2. Besides discussing the case study, the strength of remote sensing techniques in addressing archaeological questions comprising large spatial scales is highlighted, stressing the key role they can play in the detection and study of specific environmental resources within challenging physical settings.
