Description
Este trabajo sistematiza la información relacionada con uno de los artefactos más singulares del registro arqueológico cubano. Singularidad marcada por su tipología, escasa presencia y carencia de estudios científicos sobre su uso en las poblaciones de baja escala productiva. El estudio revela un universo de estos objetos conservados en fondos o colecciones, sus detalles tecnotipológicos, así como su contexto cultural y cronológico. Se realizaron estudios arqueométricos sobre una muestra de diecisiete objetos procedentes de asentamientos arqueológicos ubicados en la cuenca del río Cauto (Cuba), mediante la extracción de sedimentos y la posterior identificación de gránulos de almidón. Estos estudios revelaron que estas herramientas líticas participaban en actividades relacionadas con el pro-cesamiento de alimentos y, posteriormente, fueron parte del ensamblaje de los llamados taladros de cordel.
The paper systematize informations related with one of the most singular artifacts in Cuban archaeological record. Due to its typology, scarce presence, and scientific igno-rance of its use in small-scale productive populations. The study reveals a universe of that objects conserved in collec-tions and funds, their techno-typological details, as well as their cultural and chronological context. Archaeometric studies were realize on a sample of seventeen objects from settlements located in the Cauto River basin through the extraction of sediments and subsequent identification of starch granules. The study revealed that lithic tools partic-ipated in activities related to food processing and later as part of the assembly of string drills.Keywords: rotary tools; grinding instruments; botanical resources; archaeology; lithic technology.
