Abstract
The archaeological site of Ametzagaina was discovered by chance in 2005. Since then, two archaeological interventions have been conducted at this open air deposit, located in the urban area of San Sebastian; in the first one (2006-2007), some collections of lithics were practiced on the site, as well as several sondages, whose results converged in a preliminary publication, both of the lithic assemblage recovered, like of the pollen sequence documented (Tapia et al., 2009). In the second, new sondages were made, as well as new surface collections. Following consideration of all evidence recovered, everything points toward a Gravettian campsite, with a very bad preservation of organic materials and the stratigraphic sequence, only saved in a minimum area (because of very special circumstances).
