The employment of Typology and, later, of Lithic Technology has represented a great progress to know the material culture of prehistoric groups. Nevertheless, an excessive importance has been granted to these tools. In absence of other archaeological sources, the Typology of empirical base became a key piece for the stratigraphical and cronocultural reconstruction of sites, moving away from its primitive aim. As for technology, many researchers adopted it as the natural substitute of the typology and they have committed the same mistakes previously ascribed to Typology. If we take both methodological tools as such, and we forget the generated scleroses in both by their incorrect use, it will be possible to obtain some satisfactory results. With these premises we have carried out the study of the Archaic Aurignacian of the Cantabrian region (Cueva Morín and Labeko Koba) obtaining a global result from the available lithic pieces.
