CAHIZA, Pablo; AGUILAR, Juan Pablo  e  GARCIA LLORCA, Jorge. Bone technology of Las Tumanas rockshelter (LT1), Valle Fértil, San Juan. Comechingonia [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.2, pp.75-91. ISSN 1851-0027.

We introduce here the bone assemblage tools from Las Tumanas rockshelter -Valle Fertil, San Juanrepresenting human occupation of low level intensity production communities of late Holocene. The aims of this paper is to determine the rockshelter activities linked with construction, use and discarded of bone tool's and to discuss the interpretive scopes in a macro regional scale. We determine taxonomics and anatomical bone supports and relate them with availability of the faunal resources from the bone assemblage recorded in the site. Also we analyze the spatial distribution of the instruments defining two sectors of activity related to the use and discarded. Finally we postulate a relation between the characteristics of the bone technology with functions related to the manipulation of soft matters and activities to perforate and sewing.

Palavras-chave : Bone technology; Late Holocene; Faunal resources.
