Abstract
This paper presents a taphonomic discussion from lithic artifacts perspective (Borrazzo 2004, 2006; Hiscock 1985). Its main goal is to provide formational information relevant for discussing the impact of a lacustrine environment on the regional configuration of the archaeological record. This proposal is applied to the case study of Southern Lacustrine System of Lago Argentino (Santa Cruz, Argentina). A taphonomic analisys is designed and applied to several samples of lithic artifacts recovered within the basin.
Keywords: lithic taphonomy, lacustrine environment, flaked stone artifacts.
