Georarchaeology studies in the strait of Gibraltar: cataloging of the geoarchaeological lithoteque in the Department of Earth Sciences of the University of Cádiz

Abstract

The first edition of the catalogue of the litoteca of the University of Cádiz is presented with this work. The work is based on a geoarchaeological and archaeometric proposal for the study of the characterization of mineral raw materials used by different societies in Prehistory, in the historical region of the "Strait of Gibraltrar". It is thus a powerful tool for the study of provision strategies, acquisition, and distribution of resources by societies. Creating with it, as a continuation of the studies carried out by Professor Domínguez-Bella over the last four decades, a research platform, with spaces for the storage of samples, information gathering and accessibility to the scientific community.
