ANÁLISIS FUNCIONAL Y ETNOARQUEOLOGÍA: UNA SÍNTESIS EXPERIMENTAL

Abstract

Presentation historically argued of a global methodological proposal applied to the analysis of lithic remains understanding it as an alternative to morphological typologies that did not help at all in the search for answers to my/our questions. The objective was to face the global study of the production/use process in the analysis of the management of lithic resources (located in the organization for survival). The core of the traceological proposal that we developed was the relationship between the achievement of the final form of the object that is going to be used, the movement of the same during the work (kinematics) and the changes in both processes over time. The interpretation of these relationships in terms of efficiency and profitability of the work of production and use/consumption of the instrument allowed us to study the use of the mineral resource as a social strategy.
