This work analyses natural and cultural site formation processes that have impacted in the physiognomy of the surface and subsurface artefactual arrangements of Campo Blanco site, located in Tafí del Valle Department, Tucumán, Argentina. The information obtained from superficial and subsuperficial survey techniques allowed us to evaluate the dynamics of different natural and cultural processes that affected the archaeological records of Campo Blanco. The standing out are the agents the wind and water, and the human action. We consider that this kind of analysis is fundamental to understand the nature of artefactual assemblages present in surface base camp and tertiary source
