| Abstract | ❐ ABSTRACT In order to add another dimension to the debate surrounding the structural configuration of the first ceramic-bearing groups that ventured into the Caribbean, the lithic implements from Punta Candelero and La Hueca sites are being analyzed. Since both sites present a Huecoid component vertically and horizontally segregated from a Saladoid deposit, an analysis of inter-assemblage variability is being undertaken in order to determine the ubiquity of similarities and differences in the reductive sequences involved in the production of the pecked, ground, use modified and flaked utilitarian lithic materials. Therefore, this study is both descriptive and analytical since it is intended to offer the first detailed description of the lithic materials associated to the Huecoid component of these sites in order to compare, from a technological standpoint, the reduction protocols followed in each component. Such a comparison offers a high resolution since the variability that may be induced by differential raw material availability is left aside as both groups exploited the same environments. Even though this study is still at a preliminary stage, some marked dissimilarities that suggest different reduction protocols between components are beginning to emerge. |
