• Resumen

  • We suggest in this article the use of technological and of elaborated metric data as a possible way of correlating cultural complexes to human habits of tools manufacture, and flint manufacture in general.

    This preliminary study has shown the metric data to be possibly more meaningful than the technological ones, the latter being more widely spread all over the epochs of flint knapping. The final aim is to apply the results of this study and try to explain certain possible trends in the manufacture of flint blanks and some inter-cultura relationship in the area studied
