Abstract

We offer the results from the characterization of the different flint types documented in the Abrigo de la Quebrada archaeological sequence. Two analytical techniques, X-Ray Fluorescence and X-Ray powder diffraction were used. The results show the homogeneity of the “Domeño”-type local flint and the presence of allochthonous flint types that may relate to rather distant sources such as those already known in the central and southern parts of the País Valenciano.
