El Paleolítico inferior en la Meseta Norte, España: Sierra de Atapuerca, La Maya, El Basalito, San Quirce y Ambrona: Estudio tecnológico y experimental

A detailed analysis of lithic collections from northern Spain's Atapuerca sites reveals significant variability in early human technical processes over long periods, challenging traditional understandings of Paleolithic behavior. The study examines raw material collection and stone quality influences on tool production, using experimental archaeology to provide new perspectives on ancient assemblages. By focusing on a small geographic area—including Sierra de Atapuerca, La Maya, El Basalito, San Quirce, and Ambrona—the research demonstrates how local conditions shaped human adaptation during the first and second phases of European occupation. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of behavioral variability in early southern European populations.
