Evolution of systems for obtaining resources between the end of the upper Magdalenian and the geometric Epipaleolithic of El Parco Cave (Alòs de Balaguer, La Noguera, Lleida)

Abstract

In this paper we analyze the changes in the way of obtaining lithic raw materials and eating ressources in the Upper Magdalenian and the Epipalaeolithic in El Parco Cave (Alòs de Balaguer, Lleida, Spain). We study also technological and functional aspects of the lithic industries. The final result of our study is that we can stablish some patterns of change or continuity in every one of this aspects.
