BOBILLO, Federico Miguel. Procurement of lithic resources: reduction of cores and blanks extraction in vulcanite quarries (Antofagasta de la Sierra - Catamarca). Zaranda ideas [online]. 2015, vol.13, n.1, pp.9-24. ISSN 1853-1296.

Abstract The aim of this paper is a comparative approach to provisioning strategies in two quarries in the microregion of Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca). The lithic context in two workshops located in Pampa Oeste Zona de Aprovisionamiento y Cantera (POZAC) y Punta de la Peña Zona de Aprovisionamiento y Cantera (PPZAC) is analyzed. According to systematic surveys and technical-morphological analysis of assemblages including cores and debitage, different trends in core exploitation and blank extraction are observed. This variability responds to a variety of decisions taken by individuals or groups of individuals when provisioning themselves of a specific resource, a volcanic rock suitable for stone flaking.
