Abstract:
The pleistocenic site of Lezetxiki is located in Gipuzkoa, in the iberian Basque Country. The deposit has been object of numerous datation essays, with alternative methods. Indeed, it is very important to establish a geochronological framework for this exceptional cave, in which fossil human remains are associated to many archeozoological rests and human industries. In this paper a state-of-the-question about different analytics and studies that have been applied in Lezetxiki, either geologic and paleoenvironmentals or technotypologicals is presented. After this presentation, an exhaustive summary of the datations made on diverse sample types and different radiometric methods is done.
