Sumario:The text analyzes the carved lithic tools discovered in Neolithic funerary and domestic contexts in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula. It examines the origins of the raw materials, the carving techniques used, and the functions of the tools. From 4500 to 4400 cal BCE, there was an increase in the use of exogenous flint, particularly Bedoulian, and other imported rocks, which were often found in tombs as symbolic goods. In contrast, local materials and more functional tools were more predominant in settlements. The study highlights clear differences between domestic and funerary contexts, revealing networks of exchange, technical specialization, and social values associated with these objects.
