Resumen:
The rockshelter of Agua de la Cueva¡ªSector Sur (32°37 S, 69° 09W, 2,900 m a.s.l.), central west Argentina, has yielded a large collection of cultural remains from early human occupations dating between 10,950 ²190 (Beta-61409) and 7450 ² 140 (Beta-90740) RCYBP (García 1995; García et al. 1999). Many of these items are lithic artifacts. A total of 16,959 pieces of lithic debris and 828 stone tools have been recovered. Analysis of a sample of lithic debris (n = 3,674) and all the tools has detected patterns associated with lithic technology, especially regarding toolstone selection, retouching, and fracturing.
