| Summary: | <p>The technological study of osseous industry is one of the investigation areas in archaeology which is gaining importance in the last two decades. The great archaeological assemblage of bone industry in “Cova de les Cendres” made us to think about the importance to carry out an investigation of these characteristics. Upper Magdalenian collection was the chosen one because de richness and variety of his finished tools and technological elements which make possible to reconstruct the operative chain in the manufacture of the toolkit. In this paper we try to describe the methodology carried out, from the faunal remains revision to identify technological elements, their study and then the process of information in a data base. We describe these technological elements and finished tools and finally we show some preliminary and general economic conclusions.</p> |
