Dinámica evolutiva de la industria lítica tallada en secuencia estratigráfica de Santimamiñecampañas de 2004 a 2006

Abstract

We have studied the evolutionary dynamics of carved stone artefacts recovered during the stratigraphic review campaigns of the Santimamiñe Cave strata (2004-2006), divided into five stratigraphic units: Slm-Lsm (Neolithic), Arcp (Azilian) Slnc (late-upper Magdalenian), Almp (middle/upper Magdalenian?) and Csn-Camr (late lower Magdalenian). The paper presents a first approach to nuclei and re-worked items and to gross carved products, focusing more specifically on the reworked group of objects, of which a typological analysis has been conducted according to G. Laplace’s Analytical Typology (according to the grille of 1986). A series of statistical methods developed by G. Laplace (structural analysis and analysis of the lien) have been applied in order to analyse the similarities and differences between the different groups studied. These statistical procedures are applied to the Re-worked Modes and Typological Groups in the five individual stratigraphic sets.
