Artefactos de sílex procedentes del Monte Hacho (Salobreña, Granada) y de otros yacimientos prehistóricos cercanos: circulación de materias primas hacia la costa de Granada en la Prehistoria reciente

Abstract

The flint artifacts from the Monte Hacho archaeological site (Salobreña, Granada) constitute the richest collection on the Granada coast. Through the application of a geoarchaeological approach, based on the non-destructive petrological analysis of the pieces, the circulation of flint to this site and other nearby ones has been established, from the three source areas of the south of the peninsula where specialized laminar production is documented. Consequently, the coast of Granada would be inserted in the homogeneous technological territory proposed by some authors for the interval spanning the IV and III millennia BC, although there is evidence that this circulation would have already occurred since the ancient Neolithic.
