The use of quartz during the Upper Paleolithic and Early Mesolithic in Sabor valley (NW Iberia): The Foz do Medal case

摘要

The use of quartz is well documented during prehistory, being the predominant raw material in the Upper Paleolithic sites located in NW Iberia. The prehistoric occupations from Sabor valley also present a preference for this lithology through the long occupation sequence, although a large range of regional and exogenous lithic raw materials are also knapped.
