Hacia la comprensión de un espacio multipropósito: Resultados de la prospección arqueológica en Río Las Salinas 2 (Tucumán)

Summary

This paper presents the results of an intensive and extensive survey of the Rio Las Salinas 2 quarry-workshop, carried out as part of an archaeological impact assessment. The pedestrian and full-coverage survey involved the layout of parallel transects distributed over an area of 620 ha. During the route, cards designed both for a landscape description of the context and for an archaeological characterization of each type of finding, were completed. These findings were grouped into categories of architectural structures, lithic workshops, rock art, isolated artifacts, as well as combinations between them. This survey made it possible to identify an extensive, highly circulated space, in which, in addition to the lithic supply, there was evidence of temporary occupation and demarcation of spaces that allowed a deeper characterization of the persistence in the use of RLS2. The archaeological evidence as a whole reaffirms the interpretation of the functional complexity of this quarry-workshop as a large multipurpose space
