Abstract

The Rompecráneo is a special kind of lithic artifact which was, presumably, involved in the capture of pinnipeds carried out along the Patagonian coast of Argentina during prehistoric times. Recent papers had offered some information about their morphology but up to now they are poorly studied. In order to offset this situation in a previous work we addressed their role in hunting technics developed at the archaeological locality of Punta Entrada (Santa Cruz, Argentina). This allowed us to propose that rompecráneos were used in combination with spears when hunting on the coast. With the aim of expanding this information, here we present an image gallery of some rompecráneos recovered there. Two of these pieces share a similar morphology but were made of different lithic raw materials. The other one has the appearance of a bola stone but its weight is higher than other bola stones in Patagonia. That is why it is considered a different kind of artifact. The importance of studying these kinds of artifacts is that they have the potential of providing information about the way people interacted with the different resources (biotic and abiotic) in the past so that a better understanding of human behavior can be developed.   Gallery Figure 1.

海岸狩猎:Rompecráneos图片库
Rompecráneo是一种特殊的石器制品,据推测,它与史前时期在阿根廷巴塔哥尼亚海岸捕获鳍足类动物有关。近年来的论文提供了一些关于它们形态的信息,但迄今为止对它们的研究很少。为了在之前的工作中弥补这种情况,我们讨论了它们在蓬塔恩特拉达(阿根廷圣克鲁斯)考古地点开发的狩猎技术中的作用。这让我们提出rompecráneos在海岸狩猎时与长矛结合使用。为了扩展这一信息,我们在这里提供了一些rompecráneos在那里恢复的图像库。其中两件具有相似的形态,但由不同的石器原料制成。另一种看起来像桃桃石,但重量比巴塔哥尼亚的其他桃桃石要高。这就是为什么它被认为是一种不同的神器。研究这类人工制品的重要性在于,它们有可能提供有关过去人们与不同资源(生物和非生物)互动方式的信息,以便更好地理解人类行为。 & # x0D;画廊# x0D;图1。Punta Entrada的地理位置。图2。Rompecráneo由安山岩构成。基地可以在图像的下部看到。重量:593克。图3。rompecráneo的不同视图如图2 图4所示。Rompecráneo由奎因制成。基地可以在图像的下部看到。重量:421克。图5rompecráneo的不同视图如图3和图6所示。由安山岩制成的波状石。重量:1.476 kg。图7。曲线石的凹槽细节如图6 图8所示。图6.
