description This article presents the results obtained from the techno-morphological and technological analysis of the lithic assemblage from surface collections in different sectors of the Laguna La Huinca site, located in the middle basin of the Tapalqué stream (Buenos Aires province). The main objective is to identify, from the reconstruction of the operational chains for each rock, the technological practices  and production trajectories used by hunter-gatherer groups that inhabited this sector of the basin, far from the sources of supply. In general terms, a predominance of orthoquartzite was identified, followed by ftanite and, to a lesser extent, silicified dolomite, sandstone, granite and quartz. Although this same trend in the representation of rocks is recorded at the Empalme Querandíes 1 and Laguna de Frías sites, this situation is not consistent with the rest of the sites for the upper and middle basin of the stream. Differences in the treatment of the rocks were identified, which is reflected in the various technological practices and modes of production of lithic artefacts. The scarce presence of bark-bearing debris suggests that the initial stages of debarking were carried out off-site. The operational chains in orthoquartzite and ftanite are represented by stages ranging from lithic production, linked to the production of base-forms, to the maintenance of the lithic artefacts.

En este artículo se presentan los resultados obtenidos del análisis tecno-morfológico y tecnológico efectuado sobre el conjunto lítico proveniente de recolecciones superficiales en distintos sectores del sitio Laguna La Huinca, ubicado en la cuenca media del arroyo Tapalqué (provincia de Buenos Aires). El objetivo principal es identificar, a partir de la reconstrucción de las cadenas operativas para cada roca, las prácticas tecnológicas y las trayectorias de producción utilizadas por los grupos cazadores-recolectores que habitaron este sector de la cuenca, alejado de las fuentes de abastecimiento. En líneas generales, se identificó un predominio de la ortocuarcita, seguida por la ftanita y en proporciones ínfimas dolomía silicificada, arenisca, granito y cuarzo. Si bien se registra esta misma tendencia en la representación de las rocas en los sitios Empalme Querandíes 1 y Laguna de Frías, esta situación no se condice con en el resto de los sitios para la cuenca superior y media del arroyo. Se identificaron diferencias en el tratamiento de las rocas, lo cual se ve reflejado en las diversas prácticas tecnológicas y en los modos de producción de los artefactos líticos. La escasa presencia de desechos con corteza permite pensar que las etapas iniciales de descortezamiento se realizaron fuera del sitio. Las cadenas operativas en ortocuarcita y ftanita están representadas por las etapas que van desde la producción lítica, vinculada con la obtención de formas-base, hasta el mantenimiento de los artefactos formatizados. Este trabalho apresenta os resultados obtidos a partir da análise tecno-morfológica e tecnológica do conjunto lítico proveniente de coletas de superfície em diferentes setores do sítio Laguna La Huinca, localizado na bacia média do riacho Tapalqué (província de Buenos Aires). O principal objetivo é identificar, a partir da reconstrução das cadeias operacionais de cada rocha, as práticas tecnológicas e as trajetórias de produção utilizadas pelos grupos de caçadores-coletores que habitavam esse setor da bacia, longe das fontes de abastecimento. Em termos gerais, foi identificada a predominância de ortoquartzito, seguido de ftanito e, em menor escala, dolomito silicificado, arenito, granito e quartzo. Embora essa mesma tendência na representação das rochas seja registrada nos sítios Empalme Querandíes 1 e Laguna de Frías, essa situação não é consistente com o restante dos sítios da bacia superior e média do córrego. Foram identificadas diferenças no tratamento das rochas, o que se reflete nas diferentes práticas tecnológicas e modos de produção dos artefatos líticos. A escassa presença de detritos com casca sugere que os estágios iniciais de descascamento foram realizados fora do local. As cadeias operacionais em ortoquartzito e ftanito são representadas por estágios que vão desde a produção lítica, ligada à produção de formas-base, até a manutenção dos artefatos. 2024-02-24 2024-08-02T01:25:28Z 2024-08-02T01:25:28Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion text texto texto https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/comechingonia/article/view/42543 10.37603/2250.7728.v28.n1.42543 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175642 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/comechingonia/article/view/42543/45137 Derechos de autor 2020 Comechingonia.
