Abstract

SALEMME, Mónica; ORIA, Jimena; TURNES, Lucas  and  SANTIAGO, Fernando. Technomorphological characterization of two lithic assemblages of the middle Holocene in the Fuegian Steppe: La Arcillosa 2 and Río Chico 1. Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.1, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract This contribution presents a comparative analysis between two lithic assemblages coming from stratigraphy, with the main goal of improving the knowledge of the lithic artifacts assigned to middle Holocene. Both assemblages come from small shellmiddens deposited in a paleocliff of the Atlantic coast; they are scarcely concentrated and represent short occupations where faunal (vertebrates and invertebrates) and lithic materials are associated. In one of these sites (LA2), a human skeleton was buried below the shell midden. Data herein presented describes technomorphological aspects. This study looks for the characterization of different lithic assemblages at a regional level in the framework of the known evidence for the middle Holocene.

Keywords : Hunter-gatherers; Shellmiddens; Lithic technology; Middle Holocene; Fuegian steppe.
