AGNOLIN, Agustín; CASSIODORO, Gisela  and  ESPINOSA, Silvana. LITHICRESOURCES FROM CARDIEL LAKEBASIN (SANTA CRUZ): NEW SURVEYS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR REGIONAL ARCHEOLOGY. Relaciones [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.1, pp.1-11. ISSN 0325-2221.

The knowledge of the lithic sources makes it possible to approach the circulation of goods and populations on a regional scale. Recent research in the Andean and circum-andean lake basins of Santa Cruz province (Argentina) were aimed to characterize more specifically the regional lithic resources base (Espinosa et al. 2016). The results of these investigations in the Cardiel lake basin are presented here. Through prospecting and transects, four sectors were recorded with the availability of different lithic resources (basalts, tuffs, silica rocks). This new information allows us to broaden our knowledge of this basin and to re-evaluate proposals regarding land use.

Keywords : materias primas líticas - lago Cardiel - disponibilidad - cortes delgados - depósitos secundarios; lithic raw materials - Cardiel Lake - availiability - thin sections --secondary sources.
