Abstract:
The XI Level lithic assemblage of Esquilleu Cave (Cantabria, Spain)permits us to observe the high degree ofstandardization, morphological as well as technological,of lithic blank production,used mainly for the production of side~scrapers. This homogeneity permitsus to infer some notíons about function, as deduced by the essential characteristics of the side-scrapers (considerable thickness and convex edge delineation), and to suggest, albeit tentatively, the function ofthe settlement.
