- Abstract
More than 25 years of ongoing archaeological research in the Andean and peri-Andean lake basins of the province of Santa Cruz have provided an extensive understanding of the regional availability of lithic raw materials. The first data based on microscopic determinations carried out with this record are presented. In this study, the geological and archaeological variability of rocks macroscopically identified as basalt is assessed: results show that they are more heterogeneous than what it was initially proposed. Furthermore, the location and determination of singular points of basalt and tuff availability throughout the region are suitable indicators to establish possible circulation routes of these raw materials. Consequently, a reduced scope of this circulation is analyzed within each basin.
