Abstract
espanolResumen: La cantera de vulcanitas denominada Pampa Oeste Zona de Aprovisionamiento y Cantera (POZAC) presenta evidencias de actividades de talla orientadas a la extraccion de recursos liticos, los cuales se transportaron a campamentos y bases residenciales situados en las localidades de Quebrada Seca y Punta de la Pena (Antofagasta de la Sierra - Catamarca, Argentina). La presente investigacion tuvo por objeto estudiar los contextos liticos de las areas de talla que conforman POZAC, analizando los criterios que tuvieron los talladores al momento de seleccionar los recursos liticos a explotar, como asi tambien los metodos y tecnicas empleados en la gestion de bloques, nodulos y lascas nodulares para la extraccion de formas-base y la formatizacion de instrumentos. Para ello se efectuaron prospecciones y muestreos sistematicos de seis Areas Discretas de Talla (ADT), junto a un analisis tecnico-tipologico de nucleos, nucleiformes, desechos de talla y artefactos formatizados hallados en los contextos de cantera. A partir de esta investigacion se pudo constatar la seleccion, recoleccion, transporte y reduccion de nodulos y bloques de vulcanitas con diferentes tamanos y morfologias, el empleo de lascas nodulares como nucleiformes y la extraccion de formas-base con dimensiones variables para la manufactura de instrumentos.

期刊介绍:
Chungara Revista de Antropología Chilena (The Journal of Chilean Anthropology, printed ISSN 0716-1182; online ISSN 0717-7356) was founded in 1972 by the Departamento de Antropología of Universidad del Norte and has been systematically published since then. Currently, it is printed in two issues per volume annually by the Departamento de Antropología, Universidad de Tarapacá, Arica Chile. It publishes original articles in the different fields of anthropology and other associated sciences that includes cultural or social anthropology, archaeology, bioarchaeology, ethnobotany, ethnohistory, geography, geology, geoarchaeology, history, linguistics, paleoecology, semiotics, zooarchaeology, conservation of cultural materials, and museology.
