Resumo: tBifaces dominate the Acheulean stone tools recovered during the archaeological excavationof layer X of Gruta da Aroeira, dated to 389–436 ka. Faunal remains and a human craniumwere found in association with this lithic assemblage. The raw materials used are mostlyquartz and quartzite cobbles available in the vicinity of the site. Technological and system-atic analysis shows that there are no Levallois elements and suggests that on-site knappingconsisted of the reduction of centripetal cores. Flake cleavers are absent. Use-wear analysisindicates the processing of hard materials, mainly wood. Gruta da Aroeira represents one ofthe few Middle Pleistocene sites that provide securely dated diagnostic human remains andassociated Acheulean lithics, thus representing a major step forward in our understandingof the variability of westernmost Europe’s Acheulean and of the human populations thatmade it.

Les fouillesarchéologiques ont mis au jour un crâne humain associé aux vestiges lithiques et fauniques.L’approvisionnement en matières premières est dominé par le quartz et le quartzite. Lesanalyses typo-technologiques révèlent des séquences de production à partir de nucléuscentripètes. Aucun élément diagnostique Levallois n’a été identifié. Les bifaces dominentl’outillage, alors que les hachereaux sont absents. Les analyses tracéologiques ont permisd’identifier une activité principale liée à la transformation du bois et d’autres types dematériaux durs. La Gruta da Aroeira est l’un des rares sites du Pléistocène moyen à fournir àla fois des restes humains diagnostiques et une industrie datés de manière fiable. Elle signifiedonc un apport important à la compréhension de la variabilité des industries acheuléenneset des populations du Pléistocène moyen dans la partie la plus occidentale de l’Europe.Repositório da Universidade de LisboaDaura, JoanSanz, MontserratDeschamps, MarianneMatias, HenriqueIgreja, MarinaVillaescusa, LuciaGómez, SandraRubio, AngelSouto, PedroRodrigues, FilipaZilhão, João2019-01-18T15:39:16Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/36552eng1631-068310.1016/j.crpv.2018.03.003metadata only accessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T16:33:05Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/36552Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T21:50:42.158614Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
