Abstract
The location of surface lithic material may provide information about uses of different areas within a certain space. The case study introduced here deals with the analysis of the material recovered in one specific area in the Northwest of what is nowadays the Santa Cruz province, in Argentina. This work analyses certain aspects of the lithic material distribution in the Northeast of the lake Pueyrredón-Cochrane based on the surface material sampling. Upon the gathering and analysis of the sampling, the use of different lithic raw materials is evaluated and the spaces where the major concentrations of artifacts were found are described. It is also assessed the possible circulation or communication between the area analyzed and the valleys of the western side of the Andes Ridge.Downloads
