It is a technological study of about a thousand lithic
pieces coming from a surface archaeological sire in a hillside deposit derived from the erosion of tertiary conglomerares of the area . The industrial data poinr our its appraisal as a carving and supplying area belonging to the recent Middle Paleolithic. The colluvial presents Wurmian features and technologically the industry shows production-operating chains of centripetal recurrent levallois debirated stone chips. The situation at the Vinalopó Corridor confers the archaeological site a special importance due to the fact that it is the best geographical interconnection between the Plateau and the Medirerranean.
