“…Like other late Pleistocene Homo sapiens hunter-gatherer lithic assemblages (Kuhn, 1992, Vaquero et al, 2012, those with fishtail points include both curated and expedient tools (sensu Binford, 1979). Fishtails were extremely curated artifacts, and occasionally recycled as knives and/or scraping tools by their makers.…”

A research program directed to deepening the knowledge and understanding of Paleo-American "fishtail" points is being carried out. In pursuit this goal, lithic remains from Cerro Largo department, northeastern Uruguay is examined. One of the samples comes from Paso Centurión, a surface site that has yielded the greatest number of fishtail points in Uruguay. There, and at the Paso Taborda site, several exemplars were reworked as scraping tools, constituting a peculiar case of stone tool recycling and reclaiming by post-Pleistocene hunter-gatherers. The examined collection shed new light on regional lithic assemblages, stone tool behavior and the early colonization of southeastern South America. Additionally, the study of other Uruguayan fishtails show the use of edge-to-edge and overshot flaking, technical features shared with Paleoindian fishtailed points from North and Central America. Similarities with other Paleoindian points from both hemispheres of the New World in relation to the SouthAmerican fishtail origins are discussed.

“…4 Ground tools could be reutilized more easily and therefore they may have ended up categorized as rubbish. 5 Thanks to Vaquero's (2012) work on the reutilization of stone in the Paleolithic, we can assume that it did occur to some extent in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic. 6 In many cases, one's man's waste can literally become another's treasure, and vice versa.…”

This article describes examples of waste management systems from archaeological sites in Europe and the Middle East. These examples are then contextualized in the broader perspectives of environmental history. We can confidently claim that the natural resource use of societies predating the Lower Palaeolithic was in equilibrium with the environment. In sharp contrast stand communities from the Upper Palaeolithic and onwards, when agriculture appeared and provided opportunities for what seemed like unlimited expansion.

“…De los retocados se ha tenido en cuenta el modo de retoque, clasificando los grupos tipológicos y tipos primarios según Laplace (1974). También se han considerado las alteraciones térmicas y si estas se produjeron antes de su configuración, como se hizo en yacimientos del PSF como el Molí del Salt (Vimbodí i Poblet, Tarragona) (Vaquero et al 2012). Si la configuración se produce tras la exposición al fuego se puede observar macroscópicamente un brillo grasiento en el sílex.…”

“…Se ha de tener presente que el MRI subestima la importancia real del reciclaje en la Mallada por el estado de conservación del material que dificulta ver con claridad el lustre. Si únicamente nos atenemos al MRI, el reciclaje en la Mallada es menor que en Molí del Salt (Vaquero et al 2012), donde el MRI llega al 20,4% y el reciclaje también es expeditivo.…”
