Abstract

Through the analysis of microdebitage we are able to identify features concerning the exploitation and use of raw materials; the verification of manufacture, use, modification and maintenance activities of tools, to infer the different knapping techniques employed; to observe, through density maps, the spatial distributions of microdebris, and better understand the formation of archaeological records. In this paper, we have studied the lithic microdebitage of level 18b (Aurignacian of Transition) from Cueva de El Castillo and present the methodology applied and the results obtained.
