Abstract
Se ha realizado el estudio petrográfico de 20 utensilios de la
Edad del Bronce del yacimiento Montón de Trigo, para determinar
la procedencia del soporte lítico con el que se fabricaron. La mayoría
de los utensilios son de granito o cuarcita, litologías que se encuentran próximas al yacimiento. Hay dos molinos cuyo soporte es una
diabasa, en este caso esta litología se encuentra a unos 16 km del
yacimiento. Finalmente, otra de las piezas es de silicatos cálcicos,
localizados a la misma distancia que los granitos. Esto pone de manifiesto que hay una movilidad de las poblaciones al menos a media
distancia para el aprovisionamiento de materias primas
We analysed 20 Bronze Age grindstones from the Montón de Trigo site to determine the origin of the lithic material used in their manufacture. The majority of the tools are made of granite or quartzite, lithologies that are found in the immediate viciinity of the site. There are two grinding stones with a diabase base, in this case, this lithology is located approximately 16 km from the site. Finally, another piece is made of calcium silicates, which are found at the same distance as the granites. This highlights the mobility of populations, at least over medium distances, for the procurement of raw materials
