  • Quartzite procurement, not only in fluvial deposits

    Open AccessAlejandro Prieto, Iñaki Yusta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2022

    The consideration of quartzite as a secondary raw material has relegated in-depth research of this raw material in favour of such other rocks as flint or obsidian. The latter two are the most researched raw materials because of the information derived from their study: long-distance transport of rocks and mobility of people. In contrast, information obtained from research into quartzite generally supported near-site procurement areas mainly relat…

  • Lithic raw material in the Cantabrian region

    Open AccessAlejandro Prieto, A Arrizabalaga et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2021Cited by: 8References: 22

    The increase, in quantitative and qualitative terms, of research attending to the geological nature of rocks found in archaeological contexts is changing our perspectives about social and economic territories articulated by Palaeolithic societies in the Cantabrian Region. Practically the only raw material researched in a solid geoarchaeological approach in this area is flint. This paper addresses how the near absence of in-depth geoarchaeological…

  • Quartzite procurement in conglomerates and deposits

    Open AccessAlejandro Prieto, Iñaki Yusta Arnal et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2021Cited by: 11References: 19

    Raw material characterization in Paleolithic archaeology has widened our knowledge of Middle Paleolithic societies. Procurement of raw material, specifically flint, has allowed the tracing of the mobility of both stones and people, as well as selective processes to obtain specific types or even extraction activities. The analysis of quartzite has also developed in recent years, providing an opportunity to better understand prehistoric societies. …

  • From petrographic analysis to stereomicroscopic characterisation

    Open AccessAlejandro Prieto, Iñaki Yusta et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2020Cited by: 14References: 27

    Several isolated studies have tried to understand quartzite from an archaeological perspective by applying two different methodological approaches. The first one is based on non-destructive characterisation, aiming to understand human procurement and management of quartzite, without solid geoarchaeological criteria. The second characterised the material from archaeological sites using only petrographic or geochemical perspectives of a limited sam…

  • Defining and Characterizing Archaeological Quartzite

    Open AccessAlejandro Prieto, Iñaki Yusta Arnal et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2019Cited by: 10References: 25

    Quartzite was the second most‐often used lithic raw material in Europe in the Palaeolithic. However, this rock has not been characterized fully from the geo‐archaeological point of view. This study characterizes, defines and determines types of quartzite in northern Spain through a methodology that integrates petrography, digital image processing and X‐ray fluorescence. As a methodological foundation for the characterization of the material, it a…
