- Abstract
The archaeological research recently started in the middle and upper basin of the Quinto River (east-central province of San Luis) made it possible to locate large archaeological quarries, as well as numerous sources of lithic raw materials. The work carried out is part of the project to identify a Regional Base of Lithic Resources and Studies of the Organization of Technology. From this framework, the aim is to study the supply and mobility strategies among the groups that will inhabit the area during the entire Holocene. In this presentation, the first results are shown on the La Falla 1 site, emplaced in a quarry area northeast of the Paso de las Carretas, on the boundary between both basins. The analysis made it possible to recognize the general characteristics of technological management in which expedited and conserved strategies are combined. Likewise, the lithic reduction activities carried out and their distribution within the site were identified.
