Abstract:
In this paper we present the bladelet´s production of level 20e of El Castillo cave. This level is characterised technologically by a production of blanks of discoid conception, cleavers and bladelets. Typologically, it's a typical Mousterian assemblage (sensu Bordes). The group of bladelets is scarce, but we consider they are important. This bladelets are made from nucleus of a prismatic morphology and unipolar recurrent Levallois schemes. They aren't many supports, but they are mainly bladelets, some of them altered by semiabrupt inverse retouch.
