Resumen:
Ethnoarchaeological studies have been one of the major contributions of processual archaeology, being very important for the construction of middle range theory. Here we use an organization of technology framework to test expectations derived from ethnoarchaeological research against the archaeological record. Differences in temporal and geographic scales were taken into account. Surveys of potential lithic raw material sources and analysis of artifact attributes allowed us to recognize the areas utilized by human populations and, along with other lines of evidences, to identify regions with social contacts among groups. Results were compared with projections from Binford?s hunter-gatherer frames of reference.
