          Abstract

          En algunos sitios Paleoindios del extremo austral de Sudamérica (Patagonia) se ha registrado litos discoidales pulidos como artefactos diagnósticos de las primeras ocupaciones humanas. Estas piezas han sido halladas en contextos residenciales al interior de reparos rocosos asociadas a las tradicionales puntas de proyectil "cola de pescado" y fauna extinta. En este trabajo se discuten conocidas y nuevas evidencias de hallazgos de litos discoidales haciendo hincapié en la dimensión contextual de los hallazgos. Se discute su eventual función simbólica y relación con otros litos análogos procedentes de contextos costeros del Pacífico de Sudamérica. Se sugieren algunas conexiones culturales entre las poblaciones tempranas que ingresaron al continente durante la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno

          Translated abstract

          Polished discoidal stones are diagnostic artefacts associated to fish tail projectile points and extinct fauna in a number of Paleoindian cave sites in southernmost South America (Patagonia). In this paper we examine the contextual associations of currently known and hitherto unreported finds of discoidal stones and their relations to similar artefacts found along the Pacific coast of South America. We also discuss their potential symbolic functions and explore the suggestion that they signal cultural relations between the human groups that peopled the continent during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition
