Nuevos aportes desde la experimentación al estudio funcional del utillaje óseo neolítico

In this paper we study the bone tools from a functional point of view, through the collection and use of a series of experimental tools (awls and spatulas). These materials form a growing functional reference library, and are used in the analysis of tools from several Neolithic sites in the N-E of the Iberian Peninsula. Our aim is to test the hypotheses we have made on archaeological materials, by checking the data empirically through experimentation. Such studies are aimed to better understand the functional and technical paper bone tools.
