- Project Description
- The study of Prehistory Lithic Raw Material offers extensive data about its source areas. What interest us are movements, exchanges, management strategies, areas of influence, etc. and in short, how different prehistoric societies managed the territory. The regular analytical protocols in geology are employed to identify and characterize it: petrographic/textural, such as the more common and affordable analytic ones, as well as the more specialized and costly mineralogical and geochemical ones, with the aim of obtaining the geochemical trace of the lithic material studied.
- Given the complexity involved in this type of analysis, we set out to focus on the study of the use and diffusion of one of the silex supply sources which is revealing itself as one of the most important and best represented lithic traces in the geographic area mentioned. The research team has an outstanding knowledge of the places of exploitation of this lithic source in the Urbasa mountain range (Navarra). The team intends to apply a systematic analysis, contrasting the archeological and geological data. The purpose is to solve the problems that arise from the exploitation, use and diffusion of this mineral source. This is a leading and innovative subject in worldwide Prehistory.
