Lithic technology at the Margen Sur site, río Grande (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina)
This paper presents a techno-morphological analysis of the lithic assemblage from Margen Sur site to evaluate the stone tool manufacturing activities, as well as the technological strategies and decision-making of the local human groups. The results show that most of the lithic production stages wer...

The results show that most of the lithic production stages were carried out at the site, and that there is a tendency towards expedient strategies in tool manufacture, use, and discard.

Based on this, Margen Sur is characterized as a multiple activities site. En el presente trabajo se realiza el análisis tecnomorfológico del conjunto lítico del sitio Margen Sur para evaluar las actividades de manufactura que se realizaron en el lugar, y las decisiones y estrategias tecnológicas desarrolladas por los grupos humanos que transitaron este espacio. Los resultados evidencian que se realizaron la mayoría de las etapas del proceso de producción lítica en el sitio y un predominio de estrategias expeditivas en la manufactura, uso y descarte de los instrumentos. Esto último se refleja en el descarte de núcleos con tamaños aptos para seguir tallándolos, en la predominancia de instrumentos manufacturados con una baja inversión de energía y en el abandono de muchos de éstos, con tamaños aptos para reactivarlos o con filos aún activos. A su vez, estos grupos explotaron rocas locales, de buena calidad para la talla. A partir de este análisis, se buscó ampliar la información disponible sobre las actividades que se realizaron en el sitio, donde aquellas relacionadas con la tecnología lítica representan solo una parte y se complementan con otras analizadas en trabajos previos (procesamiento, consumo, enterratorio). De esta forma, Margen Sur se caracteriza como un sitio de actividades múltiples.
