Variabilidad en la producción de palas y/o azadas líticas de la Puna Argentina

Abstract

The variability of the assemblages of lithic shovels and/or hoes from two regions of the argentinian Pune: site Casa Chávez Montículo (department of Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca, Southern Pune), and Doncellas (department of Cochinoca, Jujuy, Northern Pune), is analysed from a technic-morphological perspective. The results reflect a great variability in the manufacture technique, general morphology of the artefacts and raw material used in both assemblages.
