AB There are functional differences related to the peculiarities of each settlement. The material used to manufacture tools is one of the key factors in the analysis of use-wear traces in traceological studies. An experiment was conducted to test the development of these functional traces in two types of flints found at two Middle Palaeolithic settlements: Neogene flint, from the Fuente Mudarra open-air site Sierra de Atapuerca, and Cretaceous flint, from the Prado Vargas cave site, Ojo Guareña. After reviewing the characteristic of each type of flint, they were compared to previous archaeological studies in order to check the reliability of the analysis of these settlements.

NO This study is supported by the Local Government of la Merindad de Sotoscueva and Cornejo This paper is part of a Project financed by the Regional Government of Castilla y León and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General of Cultural Heritage: “Intervención arqueológica en la Cueva de Prado Vargas, en Cornejo (Merindad de Sotoscueva, Burgos)” (C02W06). This work was done with the help of the CENIEH laboratory, which allowed the authors to use the necessary equipment, the University of Burgos, which provided work space, and CRAS, which supplied the necessary material to conduct the experiment, and Thanks also go to Marcos Terradillos, responsible for knapping the items, and Ignacio Martín Lerma for his help in the analysis. Finally, thanks also to Rodrigo Alonso and the rest of the team, Marta, Héctor, Pedro and Sandra for their support for this work.
