| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to compare the taphonomic results from several case studies of quartz archaeological lithic assemblages -from the Southern Pampean Hills in Argentina- to improve the interpretations of the archaeological record in the studied area, where this raw material is predominant. To this goal, the comparative taphonomic analysis of lithic materials from archaeological sites located in the Ongamira Valley (Córdoba, Argentina) is addressed. The region is characterized by the aridity of the Chaco mountain forest. The studied contexts correspond to three depositional environments: 1) rockshelters at the bottom of the valley where sites with dense stratigraphy are recorded (Deodoro Roca Rockshelter, sector B); 2) sedimentary areas at the bottom of streams with surface and/or subsurface open air sites (Arroyo Roca 1); 3) high altitude grassland with the presence of quartz outcrops and superficial and/or subsuperficial sites on tops and mountain slopes (La Mesa 3). The methodologies and the recognition of specific variables to analyse weathering were carried out based on the classifications proposed by Borrazzo (2004, 2006), the state of the surface of the artifacts (sensu Balirán, 2019), and the analysis of fractures (Aschero, 1975, 1983; Weitzel, 2010). |
