The XIth Level lithic assemblage of Esquilleu Cave (Cantabria, Spain) permits us to observe the high degree of standardization, morphological as well as technological,of lithic blank production,used mainly for the production of side-scrapers. This homogeneity permits us to infer some notions about function, as deduced by the essential characteristics of the side-scrapers (considerable thickness and convex edge delineation), and to suggest, albeit tentatively, the function of the settlement.
