SARIO, Gisela et al. DISTRIBUTION OF SOURCES AND TRANSFER OF TOOLS MADE OF QUARTZ FROM THE SIERRAS OF CÓRDOBA, ARGENTINA. Relaciones [online]. 2022, vol.47, n.1, pp.21-30. ISSN 0325-2221.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24215/18521479e029.

This paper presents the results of the analysis carried out on quartz sources of the material recovered in three workshop qu arries: Arroyo La Mina 1 (CALM1), Arroyo El Vigilante 1 (CAEV1) and Arroyo El Tabaquillo 1 (CAET1) located in Córdoba ranges, and of a collection of tools from four sites of the micro region of southern Punilla. The methodology consisted in, on the one hand, field surveys and surface collections in quarry-workshop areas and on the other hand, in lithic analysis from techno-morphological approaches. The study of quartz sources reveals the importance that this resource has had in the manufacture of tools and bifaces in the past. This raw material, that includes the hyaline variety or rock crystal, reaches a distribution towards the valley floor areas displayed by the presence of projectile points typical of the final late Holocene.

Palabras clave : quartz; quarry workshop; projectile points; technomorphological analysis; Córdoba.
