Description
Summary:This paper constitutes an approach to the knowledge of the more characteristic group among the industries of the Cantabrian Chalcolithic: the lithic projectile points fabricated with the technique of the invasive retouch. This attempt is based on a statistical study in which three aspects very significant for the interpretation of this technological group are involved: a contextual analysis, a morpho-evolutive view and a stylistic examination. At last it is included a series of general considerations on the socio-economic dimension of this type of industries, based on the interpretation of the preceding evidence.
