“Literatura gris” como herramienta formativa de calidad
El artículo examina la manera en que, a pesar de su valor académico y formativo, la llamada "literatura gris" ha sido marginada debido a la presión por publicar en inglés y en revistas de gran impacto. Sostiene que estas publicaciones, ya sean docentes o locales, contribuyen a la divulgación y al aprendizaje de investigaciones específicas. Por medio del Boletín de Arqueología Experimental, se muestra cómo los trabajos realizados por los estudiant…
Yacimientos simulados y arqueología experimental como herramienta de aprendizaje en Arqueología y Paleontología
Experimental archaeology has had a wide diffusion in the field of research and dissemination in recent decades. However, its use in the generation of simulated archaeological models offers a resource of enormous potential to deepen the field of interpretation of the archaeological record. In this work, we present a first approach to archaeological simulations on an experimental basis with special attention to the models created in the LAEX-UAM. W…

The Flint Quarry of Pozarrate (Treviño, Spain) in the Context of Iberian and Early European Neolithic Mining
This paper presents the current state of research on the Early Neolithic flint quarry of Pozarrate (Treviño, Burgos) in the north of Spain. This site is part of the Prehistoric Flint Mining Complex of Treviño. The geological features of the territory made it a suitable place for the exploitation of the Treviño flint since Paleolithic times, especially during the Neolithic. Recent research at the site has revealed interesting findings, such as ant…
The Neolithic Flint Quarry of Pozarrate (Treviño, Northern Spain)
In this work, we present the preliminary data we have obtained in the Neolithic flint quarry of Pozarrate, currently under archaeological works. We want to put forward an update about the sedimentary fillings of one of the crescent-shaped dump quarries (6000–5600 BP). It is located at the Sierra de Araico-Cucho (Treviño, northern Spain). In this region, Tertiary carbonated terrains which host important silicifications called Treviño flint (Tarriñ…
La Arqueología en Los Grandes Eventos De Ocio Educativo
Dibujantes de Arqueología took part in 2016 and 2017 Juvenalia editions, carrying out several archaeological workshops. Juvenalia is an emblematic fair of children’s and youth entertainment. The design of pedagogic activities must be adapted to the advantages and disadvantages that this kind of massive events have. In this work, we analyse some of these problems. We also take into account the impact of those workshops in social networks and mass …
An Operative Sequences Network
The purpose of this work is to analyze in which way the technical system of the Early Neolithic flint mine of Casa Montero (5350–5220 cal. BC) was organized to manage different flint-based reduction sequences. The particular features and genesis of Casa Montero’s flint limited the efficiency of one of the main goals of the mine: blade production. As a result, a great amount of the extracted raw material was discarded throughout the process. Howev…
Sickles and “something more” at the Chalcolithic site of Camino de las Yeseras (Madrid, Spain). How use-wear analysis discovers such new production activities as threshing
La mina de sílex del Neolítico Antiguo de Casa Montero (Madrid, España), 5350-5220 cal a. C
Presentamos una revisión de conjunto e interpretativa de las evidencias recuperadas en la mina de sílex de Casa Montero (Madrid, España). Describimos los aspectos técnicos y sociales de la minería del sílex en el contexto histórico específico de las sociedades del Neolítico Antiguo de la Península Ibérica. La combinación de todas las evidencias recuperadas nos permite sugerir que la minería en Casa Montero fue probablemente un fenómeno generacion…
Apprenticeship in Early Neolithic Societies
This research demonstrates that activities related to teaching stone knapping took place in the Early Neolithic flint mine at Casa Montero (Spain). Raw material sources are shown to be the ideal places for research and analysis of the transmission of technical knowledge. This study is based on the analysis of abandoned cores at the site. The methodology and criteria that were utilized to identify lithic debris resulting from apprentice workmanshi…
Event review
From the 28th to 29th of November 2015, Dibujantes de Arqueología held the third edition of the “Introduction to classification and description of knapped lithic materials” in Madrid, Spain. It was an intensive course of 18 hours. Dibujantes de Arqueología is a well-known Spanish business entity of professional archaeologists and specialised drawers in practice since 2003. They have also organised training courses for archaeologists since 2009
A few good blades
Casa Montero flint mine (5337-5218 cal. BCE) was a production centre of blades that were probably distributed in a broad regional framework. Recent research on its lithic record has provided a method for the calculus of productivity for the blade cores based on the striking platform potential area. Taking into account several factors involved when discarding a blade for use it, the resulting ratio of useful blades per core was smaller than expect…
Aprendiendo a Excavar
Durante los últimos años y gracias a la estrecha colaboración del Departamento de Prehistoria y Arqueología, la empresa Argea S.L y la Dirección General de Patrimonio de la Comunidad de Madrid, se viene desarrollando un modelo mixto de formación e investigación en el yacimiento paleolítico de Los Ahijones (Vicávaro-Madrid) en el que los alumnos de prácticas de campo del Máster de Arqueología y Patrimonio de nuestra Universidad participan activame…
Is the Macroscopic Classification of Flint Useful? A Petroarchaeological Analysis and Characterization of Flint Raw Materials From the Iberian Neolithic Mine of Casa Montero
Casa Montero is a mining complex located outside Madrid (Spain), dated from the Early Neolithic ( c. 5400–5000 cal bc ). An area of some 4 ha has been investigated and some 4000 shafts recorded, of which 324 have been excavated. The characterization of its raw flint materials and the establishment of its diagnostic features are indispensable in the reconstruction of the distribution of the mine's products beyond the immediate site. This work repo…
