Bone technology during the Gravettian in Vale Boi (Southwestern Iberian Peninsula): a use-wear approach

Abstract

[ES] El escaso número de útiles en hueso durante el Paleolítico superior portugués difiere enormemente del documentado en el resto de la península ibérica y Europa. Este hecho parece relacionado con tres explicaciones principales: (1) la mayoría de los depósitos son yacimientos al aire libre, donde la preservación hay sido difícil (2) casi todos los conjuntos pertenecen a excavaciones del siglo XIX -inicios del XX-, en los que el tamiz ha sido poco utilizado y la selección de los materiales era usual, y/o (3) entre las opciones tecno-culturales de los cazadoresrecolectores estaba utilizar otros materiales. El yacimiento arqueológico de Vale Boi parece aportar nuevos datos a este debate. Durante la última década Vale Boi ha sido uno de los yacimientos más importantes con el que poder hacer una reconstrucción crono-estratigráfica del Paleolítico superior en el sudoeste de la península ibérica. Desde el Gravetiense inicial hasta el Solutrense el utillaje óseo está muy presente, y su número es casi el doble del documentado en el resto de yacimientos portugueses de este periodo. En este trabajo nos centramos en los procesos tecnológicos y en el análisis funcional de estas herramientas, con especial atención sobre los resultados obtenidos por el análisis funcional realizado en los útiles líticos y óseos. Este análisis preliminar del conjunto Gravetiense muestra que se utilizaron diferentes tipos de materias primas, probablemente relacionadas con aspectos estacionales.

[EN] In Portugal during the Upper Paleolithic bone industry is very scarce when compared to the Iberian Peninsula or the European scenario. This fact has been explained in three main forms: (1) most deposits are open sites, where preservation was difficult (2) most assemblages belong to old excavations, in which screening was rare and/or (3) techno-cultural choices led hunter-gatherers communities to use other materials, such as lithic or perishable materials (e.g. wood). During the last decade, the archaeological site of Vale Boi has been one of the most important sites for the chrono-stratigraphic sequence of the Upper Paleolithic in Southwestern Iberia. In what concerns to bone technology, the Upper Pleistocene record present very rich evidence from the Early Gravettian to Solutrean archaeological levels. In this paper we focus on the Gravettian bone technological patterns, with special attention on use-wear analysis of lithics and bone tools. Thus, this preliminary analysis shows two main aspects: (1) different types of raw materials were used for the production of bone tools, probably directly related to seasonal aspects and (2) specific lithic tools were premeditated select by the hunter-gatherers to work bone raw-material.
