New data on the Pleistocene/Holocene transition in North-East Iberia: The Sauveterrian in Pena-14 (Biel, Zaragoza)

We offer the results of the study of the lithic industry recovered in level d of the Pena-14 rockshelter (Biel, Zaragoza). The system of lithic production has been thoroughly reconstructed after analysis of the technological and raw materials. Results point to Epipalaeolithic technological dynamics (local supply, technological simplification, predominance of microlaminar elements ...), and more precisely to the Sauveterrian. In this sense, this paper offers new data concerning the development of this complex in NE Iberia, raising new questions concerning its chronology, industrial features and its connection with previous and neighboring traditions.
