| description | This paper examines two non-consecutive occupations of the Tajamar site, located in Pomasqui, in the current city of Quito. Tajamar evidences a Formative occupation between 1191 - 850 cal. B.C., and an Integration occupation (600 - 1423 cal. A.D.). Both occupations present obsidian, a lithic material thathas been analyzed to understand the technology with which it was worked, the sources from whichthe obsidian was extracted, and its possible use. The two Tajamar occupations were examined withinthe archaeological perspective of operational chains and morpho-technological methodology. Thismethodology, in addition to allowing for more possibilities with respect to the material, can be comparedbetween sites and sets a precedent for future lithic studies in Ecuador. This research is a pertinentexample of the relationship that human beings have in an environment that culturally transformed andwhich also requires adaptive dynamics. |

This paper examines two non-consecutive occupations of the Tajamar site, located in Pomasqui, in the current city of Quito. Tajamar evidences a Formative occupation between 1191 - 850 cal.

Both occupations present obsidian, a lithic material thathas been analyzed to understand the technology with which it was worked, the sources from whichthe obsidian was extracted, and its possible use.

Este trabajo examina dos ocupaciones no consecutivas del sitio Tajamar, ubicado en Pomasqui, en la actual ciudad de Quito. Tajamar registra una ocupación Formativa datada entre los años 1191 – 850 cal a.C., y una ocupación de Integración (600 – 1423 cal d.C.). Ambas ocupaciones presentan obsidiana, material lítico que ha sido analizado para inferir la tecnología con el que fue trabajado, las fuentes desde donde la obsidiana fue extraída y su posible uso. Las dos ocupaciones de Tajamar fueron examinadas bajo la perspectiva arqueológica de cadenas operativas y con una metodología morfo-tecnológica. Esta metodología, además de abarcar más posibilidades con respecto al material, puede ser comparada entre sitios y sienta un precedente a los futuros estudios líticos en el Ecuador. Esta investigación es un ejemplo pertinente de la relación que tiene el ser humano dentro de un entorno que es transformado culturalmente y que también exige dinámicas adaptativas.
