Studies on rock extraction sites have been of great importance for understanding the dynamics of societies, especially hunter-gatherer societies, within the framework of the territories they inhabited. In this sense, the areas with availability of lithic resources present a diverse and complex archaeological record that accounts for multiple social practices. These range from technological operations linked to the extraction of raw materials, the processing of resources and products, the manufacturing of instruments and/or their final disposal, to actions that are related to the logistics of people, the organization of work, the use of space and factors of a symbolic and/or ideological nature. In other words, these are places that bring together various techno-economic and social behaviors; spaces loaded with a particular significance where numerous knowledge, worldviews and ways of living were deployed over time. Its analysis and approaches are multiple, both from a theoretical and methodological point of view, and currently, its study is unquestionable, despite the problems of palimpsest, the difficulties in knowing the temporality of the events of obtaining rocks and the reconstruction of the dynamics of the environments where the outcrops are located.
Prácticas sociales y paisajes de canteras. Un abordaje desde la etnoarqueología y la arqueología de los contextos de obtención de rocas

The management of lithic resources is a central activity in the reproduction of the social life in many past societies. In the context of these operations, individuals and groups developed actions, values and attitudes based on their technological habits, cultural patterns and symbolic representations, closely linked to the landscape they inhabited and its natural resources. The aim of this paper is approaching to the social practices related to the rock procurement and the social landscapes, that make up indigenous quarries. For this, first of all, we realized a bibliographic review about different ethnoarchaeological cases that document different activities and practices related to the rock procurement. Then, in relation with some of these data, we analyzed the archaeological landscapes and the material record of two quarry areas located in the center-East of Tandilia hills (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Argentina).
