Resumen:
The International Symposium on Knappable Materials (ISKM) has, since its first edition in Holland in 1969, experienced an exponential increase in the number of presentations and participating researchers, becoming a truly global symposium. Similarly, the diversity in research directions and participating disciplines has increased. Until now, the ISKM has been held only in Europe: three times in the Netherlands, and once each in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Poland, Germany, Romania and Spain. This 11th edition of the ISKM held in the Argentine Republic is the first to take place in the American continent and has attracted 154 papers from 358 researchers, from different disciplines (mainly archaeology, but also geology and geochemistry), and from 28 countries and five continents. Given the global scientific diversity incorporated in this 11th Symposium, it marks a major event in the history of ISKM.The topics selected for the symposium are all relevant for understanding past human behavior and incorporate the most recent advances in knappable materials research. These include the identification and characterization of lithic sources, the provisioning and circulation of knappable materials, their manufacturing techniques and the use of the stone artifacts.On-line attendance, available since the 9th edition of the ISKM
