El estudio del conjunto del Nivel XI de la Cueva del Esquilleu (Cantabria, España) nos permite observar la elevada estandarización formal y tecnológica de la producción de matrices, orientada de forma preferente a la producción de raederas.

This homogeneity permitsus to infer some notíons about function, as deduced by the essential characteristics ofthe side-scrapers (considerable thickness and convex edge delineation), and to suggest, albeit tentatively, the function ofthe settlement
