Resumen
CHARLIN, Judith E.. MORE THAN THIRTY YEARS LATER: A REVIEW OF LAS BUITRERAS CAVE LITHIC TECHNOLOGY, GALLEGOS RIVER BASIN, SANTA CRUZ PROVINCE. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2009, vol.10, n.2, pp.237-248. ISSN 1850-373X.
This article is a re-examination of the lithic artifacts of Las Buitreras 1 Cave, Güer Aike Departament, Santa Cruz Province, focused on the explotation of lithic raw materials for the manufacture of artifacts. The procurement strategies for rocks at the site are also discussed. The sample includes lithics from layers IV to I, which correspond to the last 4000 years BP. The explotation of nearby lithic raw materials, the predominance of tools/debris, the scarcity of primary and secondary flakes/debris, the small size of flakes and the reutilization of blanks, suggest a low investment in the procurement of rocks and the manufacture of artifacts. These results agree with the previously proposed marginal land-use model of the Gallegos river basin during the late Holocene.
