Resumen:
Study referent to lithic raw procurement and usage strategies in the La Payunia Volcanic Field (Mendoza Province, Argentina), allows us to discuss about the biogeographical models. Recent result in geoquimical obsidian analysis is presented in order to discuss these strategies. We present preliminary results from the study of 130 archaeological obsidian artifacts analyzed with method X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The result shows the exploitation of five obsidian sources and with a distance range between artifact and quarry in the range of approximately 30kmts to 200 kmts.
