Popis: | In this paper we present a proposal for a classification guide of historical lithic artifacts. It arose as a necessity for the study of this kind of material in modern history contexts due to, generally archaeological lithic analysis had focus on prehistoric contextsleaving practically aside the study of modern ones.Our interest in this subject started with the recovery of a huge amount of granitic rocks in an urban excavation and we had to develop a particular methodology to its analysis. At that time we recognize that although our academic formation in prehistoricallithic artifacts analysis turned out to be efficient in the study of other historical contexts,it was not appropriated for the analysis of 12 tn of rocks recovered from inside a merchantship found in Puerto Madero, Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Therefore, we decided to amplify, correct and (most of all) clarify the analysis guide for historical lithic artifacts in order to other scholars could do such a task.In sum, in this paper we propose a methodological guide for the analysis of historical lithic instruments. We focus on the artifact, ecofact and material bulk, as relevant units of analysis in the local, regional and interregional level. |
