Abstract

In this article, we present the techno-morphological and morphological-functional analysis of the lithic assemblages from a surface collection transect, and the excavations of a housing enclosure at El Remate site (Amaicha del Valle, Tucumán). AMS dates suggest two occupations for the site (900 years BP and 1130 years BP). Our aim is to establish the lithic production sequence developed by the groups that inhabited the site, define the different technological activities, and analyze trends related to the procurement and use of raw materials according to its availability and accessibility. The data obtained allowed us to suggest that there was a predominant use of local raw materials in the manufacture of instruments, and the presence of all production sequence stages on site. In turn, this is an important contribution to lithic technology knowledge for the Formative period in these valleys.
