Lithic resource management is one of the most important variables for the analysis of technological organization in hunter-gatherer societies. As essential resources for the manufacturing of tools that are themselves ...

Investigations carried out at Campo Laborde site provide new evidence for technological strategies associated with hunting and butchering a giant ground sloth (Megatherium americanum) during the early Holocene (Messineo ...

Kill/scavenge sites of megamammals in different parts of the world have provided extensive information on subsistence strategies, hunting techniques and technologies used. These kinds of sites often contain the remains of ...

We present a trampling experiment aimed at evaluating the overall morphological modifications on stone artifacts discarded forming big piles of lithic materials like the ones in intensive quarrying contexts. In this ...

The aim of this research is to contribute to the discussion of environmental scenarios and evaluate in this context lithic technical strategies developed by hunter-gatherer groups during the process of settlement of the ...

This paper describes results obtained through fatty acids analysis on a sample of lithic artifacts. Analyzed tools come mainly from the excavated assemblage of Cerro El Sombrero Cima (Tandilia, Argentina), where the ...
