The raw material used for developingthese lithic industries are, basically limestone or siliceous rocks, these raw materials selected were smootheddown in situ. The techniques used are knapping at raised with a hammerstone, and we can find all thedifferent elements of the ‘‘chaine opératoire’’. Both localities are characterised by the predominance offlakes and debris, cores, and some knapped cobbles sowing mediocre aspect.
