Un acercamiento preliminar al estudio de la base local de recursos líticos y al análisis artefactual en el poblado arqueológico de Rincón Chico (período Tardío), valle de Yocavil, Catamarca.

In this paper, we present preliminary data of the lithic artifacts analysis from Rincón Chico. This archaeological site belongs to the Late Period and is located in the Department of Santa María, Valley Yocavil, province of Catamarca . Here we assessed the general characteristics and trends obtained from the sets from the sites no 1, 8, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18. This will be done after assessing the diversity of lithics raw materials used in the archaeological record and those that are available in the local landscape. Finally, we will analize the technical characteristics of the artifactual assemblage and the reconstruction of technical and operational sequence of production in quartz.
