Summary

The cave of Pico Ramos (Muskiz, Bizkaia) show two archaeological levels: the lower one is dated in the 5th millenium cal. BC, and the upper one is a Calcolithic colective burial, which is dated in the mid 4th millenium cal. BC. In this article, the use-wear analysis of the flint tools of both levels is carried out. In the older level, geometric projectile points, flakes used for butchering and some repairing activities have been observed. In the Calcolithic level, arrow points and blades used for cutting hide and harvesting cereals have been identified.
