tool-sharpening debris
to translate "desechos de reavivado de instrumentos"
This is the term used in archaeology in English.
See for example:
east of the pond area was a camp with multiple-surface hearths, tool-making and tool-sharpening debris, a lithic-processing area, an area where discarded tools were tossed, and faunal remains including bison, deer, turtles, fish and small game; and about 100 meters farther east, adjacent to the Clovis-age river channel, was an area that yielded four elephant ribs and evidence that biface and uniface lithic tools had been resharpened. Ferring has recently found a fourth cluster eroding out near the Clovis-age river channel still farther east.

reviving waste
I feel this is a clear way to express the same meaning in Engish.
Discussion
And you should say "fine-grained vitreous raw materials" which is what your original says. It is describing raw materials that must have come from a different site.
So I would say: "characterised by the presence of tool-sharpening debris on top of fine-grained vitreous raw materials not available in the area of study."
characterized by the presence of tool-sharpening debris over fine grained raw materials not available in the area of study.
characterized by the presence of debris from the sharpening of instruments over fine grained raw materials not available in the area of study.
Thank you so much for your knowledge!
characterized by the presence of waste from the reviving of instruments on fine grained raw materials not available in the area of study.
the term is "reavivado de instrumentos", it refers to a procedure given to the instruments, which generates such debris, residue or waste
