In this work we present the results obtained from the study of lithic technology of early mid-Holocene occupations in the south of the Puna of Jujuy Province in Argentina. We are dealing here with hunter-gatherers societies, specialized on camelids hunting. Through this study, including the analysis of three layers of a rockshelter and a surface site, we will show the techno-functional and productional diversity of operative schemes in its context. Cultural aspects are also taken into account and compared to other regions of South Central Andes. Through analyzing the operative channels and quantitative aspects, we wish to highlight the functions of use and sign. Finally, to conclude, we compare our results with the hypotheses proposed by other authors for paleoenvironmental and societal changes for this period in the region.
