Abstract
En el siguiente artículo se plantea la problemática que conlleva para el estudio del Paleolítico muchos depósitos líticos de carácter etnográfico y época histórica que se confunden con el registro arqueológico más antiguo. La principal aportación de este trabajo es la sistematización del proceso de elaboración de piedras de trillo en cuarcitas, y la caracterización geológica y arqueológica de estos conjuntos líticos en el territorio de Segovia.
This paper analyzes the problem of the many archaeological assemblages found in the Castilian Meseta and created by the recent and contemporary activity of threshing cereals using wooden boards with stone tools (‘trillero’), which can be misinterpreted as of Palaeolithic age. The process of threshing using quartzite stones is systematically described, as well as the knapping technology used to make the cutting tools and the geological and archaeological formation of the assemblages.
