This research focuses on studying the issue of the production and use of lithic grinding artifacts from a corpus of tools from the Huaca 20 sector, in the Maranga complex during the late Lima period. In this way, this study seeks to fill one of the gaps in Andean archeology in reference to grinding and lithic technology. In Andean archaeology, despite the notable presence of grinding artifacts, the study of this technology has focused primarily on the context of the finds, rather than on the objects themselves. This has led to lithic grinding tools going unnoticed in grinding practices, where they should be the focus of attention. Analyzing technological decisions and the entire production and consumption chain of materials transformed with these tools, therefore, has become impracticable. However, if we start from a detailed analysis of the objects and then consider the contexts and return to the objects, it is possible to obtain another perspective, revealing the nuances of a complex technological and social practice. From this perspective, this research asks how these objects were manufactured, what they were used for, and how they were organized and organized by the collective of agents involved in the grinding practice. To answer these questions, a corpus of 60 grinding tools recovered from the excavations at Huaca 20 was studied, carrying out, on the one hand, a techno-morphological and morphological-functional analysis, and on the other hand, an analysis of microfossils. The results showed that this corpus of tools seems to be closer to a utilitarian design as a central technological strategy and that these artifacts were used for the processing of plant resources, among which the presence of pumpkin, sweet potato, quinoa, chili, among others. Therefore, added to the different evidence of wear in the micro vestiges, as well as the technological particularities and their grinding contexts, it is proposed that said foods were processed for a possible preparation of porridges or purees, which seems to be related to diet in babies as part of the weaning process and infant survival. One of the main purposes of the production and use of stone grinding artifacts in Huaca 20.
