We submit three perforated ibex incisors discovered close to one another in a Lower Magdalenian level at the entrance of the Praleaitz I Cave to an archaeozoological and technological analysis to determine the species and age of the animal, the anatomical position of the teeth, the manufacturing techniques, the objects’ lifespan, and the possible reasons for their loss or disposal. Results indicate that the three incisors come from two different young adult ibexes. Microscopic observation allows for the identification of probable traces of extraction, markings made to position the tool used to perforate the teeth, and features demonstrating that the perforations were carried out by rotation and from two sides. We also identified decorative lines and notches, residue of red pigment, and use-wear on the perforation edges and on the apical region of the root. Comparison of these features with those observed on three perforated ibex incisors from Aitzbitarte, coming from a single animal, suggests that the incisors from Praileaitz I were originally integrated in a single large beadwork that included other ornaments, and of which the thread broke, probably at the site. These findings are in accordance with the hypothesis of a short occupation of the site during the Cantabrian Lower Magdalenian.
