The state of the art of knowledge about the past and present uses of grasses in the Punean high desert, is analyzed. Then, the relevance of exploring the use of these plants through the study of microfossils is established. The first results obtained on the phytolithic characterization of inflorescences and infrutescences of wild Poaceae species in this area are presented. On this basis, a discussion is introduced on some methodological and conceptual aspects that affect the interpretation of the modern and fossil micro indicators’ record, such as morphological continuum and redundant phytolith assemblagesKey Words
