          Abstract

          Presentamos un estudio sobre la tecnología de hojas líticas de la Puna de Salta, Argentina, en base tomando como base dos áreas: la cuenca de Pastos Grandes y el valle de San Antonio de los Cobres, distantes 60 km entre sí. En primer lugar nos focalizamos en la cronología y la aparición de la tecnología de hojas líticos, y luego en su dispersión espacial. Para el primer caso analizamos diferentes atributos de artefactos formatizados, desechos de talla y núcleos desde una perspectiva macroscópica. Para el segundo caso comparamos muestras de artefactos formatizados sobre hojas -lanceolados unifaciales- con base en un análisis estadístico de sus variables métricas. Los sitios considerados son Alero Cuevas, con una secuencia extendida a lo largo del Holoceno, y Ramadas Perfil Norte, con fechados de fines del Holoceno Medio. Nuestros resultados apoyan la idea de la aparición de la tecnología de hojas hacia los ca. 5200 AP, persistiendo al menos hasta los ca. 4200 AP. Asimismo, sugerimos que su dispersión espacial pudo haber ocurrido a partir de la circulación de información en el espacio, implicando posibles contactos entre grupos distantes. Finalmente, discutimos estos resultados considerando la puna argentina y el norte de Chile.

          We present a study on blade technology of the Puna of Salta, Argentina, based on two study areas: the Pastos Grandes Basin and the Valley of San Antonio de los Cobres, located 60 km apart from each other. First we focus on the timing of the onset of blade technology, and then its spatial dispersion. For the first case we analyze different attributes of shaped artifacts, debitage and cores from a macroscopic perspective. For the second case we compare shaped artifact samples on blade blanks-unifacial lanceolated- based on a statistical analysis of their metric variables. The sites considered are Alero Cuevas, with an extended sequence throughout the Holocene, and Ramadas Profile Norte, dating to the end of the Middle Holocene. Our results support the idea of the emergence of blade technology to ca. 5200 BP, persisting at least until ca. 4200 BP. We also suggest that spatial dispersion could have occurred from the flow of information in space, implying possible contacts between distant groups. Finally, we consider these results for the Argentine Puna and Northern Chile regions.

            Point Typologies, Cultural Transmission, and the Spread of Bow-and-Arrow Technology in the Prehistoric Great Basin

            Decrease in projectile point size around 1350 B.P. is commonly regarded as marking the replacement of the atlatl by the bow and arrow across the Great Basin. The point typology most widely employed in the Great Basin before about 1980 (the Berkeley typology) uses weight to distinguish larger dart points from smaller, but similarly shaped, arrow points. The typology commonly used today (the Monitor typology) uses basal width to distinguish wide-based dart points from narrow-based arrow points. The two typologies are in general agreement except in central Nevada, where some dart points are light, hence incorrectly typed by the Berkeley typology, and in eastern California, where some arrow points are wide-based, hence incorrectly typed by the Monitor typology. Scarce raw materials and resharpening may explain why dart points are sometimes light in central Nevada. That arrow point basal width is more variable in eastern California than central Nevada likely reflects differences in the cultural processes attending the spread and subsequent maintenance of bow-and-arrow technology in these two localities.
