“Mucientes Chert” in the Northern Iberian Plateau (Spain)

[EN] The so-called “Mucientes chert" is a variety that appears in the central area of the Iberian North Plateau, in the Duero Basin. It is widely known in the geological and archaeological literature and its use for knapping was especially important in Prehistory. From a macroscopic point of vi...
