PICCOLI, Carolina V.; AVILA, Juan D.  and  GAVILAN, Mariel E.. Lithic technology along the left margin of the Paraná river: the assemblages from Goya (Corrientes, Argentina). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1852-060X.

Abstract As a result of the archaeological research began in 2007 on the left bank of Middle Paraná River, Goya (Corrientes, Argentina), lithic material was recovered in low frequency. This paper presents the technological analysis of the lithic assemblage recovered. The analysis was based on the macroscopic characteristics to identify different stages of stone tool production. It also includes geological references to provide a context for understanding lithic raw material availability in the area. The analysis reflects that initial stages of production occurred off-site. Also, the preferential use of one specific local raw material was observed (sandstone).
