Resum

In recent decades, the development of diferent analytical procedures applied to the study of archaeological lithic remains has allowed us to approach the territoriality of past societies. The application of geochemical tools has improved the study of lithic raw materials, allowing direct connections between archaeological samples and specifc geological formations. In a similar way, the incorporation of GIS tools to the study of past mobility and territoriality has allowed to defne which could have been the most probable routes used by past groups to stock up on rocks. In this paper, we present the results obtained after the geochemical study by Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) of lithic cherts found at Upper Palaeolithic human occupations at Cueva del Gato 2 (Épila, Zaragoza, Spain) as well as the least cost path routes obtained after GIS analyses. The Cueva del Gato 2 archaeological site is a large cave placed in the frst foothills of the Iberian System, close to the Middle Ebro Basin, in Eastern Iberia. The archaeological work has revealed a long sequence of occupation with archaeological levels from the Bronze Age, the Ancient Neolithic and the Upper Palaeolithic. In this paper, we have focused on the study of level II, which has been dated in the range 21,000–23,000 cal BP. Results have demonstrated that past human groups from the Last Glacial Maximum knew and frequented the Sierra de Lanaja – Montes de Castejón lacustrine chert sources, outcropping in the Middle Ebro Basin.
