Functional analysis of Middle Palaeolithic flint tools through experimental use wear analysis: the case of Prado Vargas (Cornejo) and Fuente Mudarra (Atapuerca), northern Spain

There are functional differences related to the peculiarities of each settlement. The material used to manufacture tools is one of the key factors in the analysis of use-wear traces in traceological studies. An experiment was conducted to test the development of these functional traces in two types...

The material used to manufacture tools is one of the key factors in the analysis of use-wear traces in traceological studies. An experiment was conducted to test the development of these functional traces in two types of flints found at two Middle Palaeolithic settlements: Neogene flint, from the Fuente Mudarra open-air site Sierra de Atapuerca, and Cretaceous flint, from the Prado Vargas cave site, Ojo Guareña. After reviewing the characteristic of each type of flint, they were compared to previous archaeological studies in order to check the reliability of the analysis of these settlements.Existen diferencias funcionales en lo referente a las características de cada yacimiento. El tipo de material sobre el que están realizadas las herramientas líticas es una de las razones que condiciona la aparición de huellas de uso diagnósticas para estudios traceológicos. Se ha llevado a cabo un programa experimental para comprobar el desarrollo de estas huellas en dos tipos de sílex diferentes presentes en dos yacimientos del Paleolítico Medio de la provincia de Burgos: sílex neógeno, del yacimiento al aire libre de Fuente Mudarra en la Sierra de Atapuerca, y sílex cretácico, del yacimiento en cueva de Prado Vargas, Ojo Guareña. Una vez revisadas las características de cada sílex, se han contrastado con previos estudios arqueológicos para comprobar la viabilidad del análisis en estos yacimientos.This study is supported by the Local Government of la Merindad de Sotoscueva and Cornejo This paper is part of a Project financed by the Regional Government of Castilla y León and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General of Cultural Heritage: “Intervención arqueológica en la Cueva de Prado Vargas, en Cornejo (Merindad de Sotoscueva, Burgos)” (C02W06). This work was done with the help of the CENIEH laboratory, which allowed the authors to use the necessary equipment, the University of Burgos, which provided work space, and CRAS, which supplied the necessary material to conduct the experiment, and Thanks also go to Marcos Terradillos, responsible for knapping the items, and Ignacio Martín Lerma for his help in the analysis. Finally, thanks also to Rodrigo Alonso and the rest of the team, Marta, Héctor, Pedro and Sandra for their support for this work.Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi202320232021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10259/7879reponame:Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos (RIUBU)instname:Universidad de Burgos (UBU)InglésMunibe.
