Abstract
Pese a la abundante bibliografía generada en tomo a los depósitos pleistocenos de Ambrona, su industria lítica está escasamente documentada, hecho que se acentúa notablemente en el Complejo Superior, ya que sólo se ha publicado el número total de piezas de las que se compone su serie. Con este trabajo pretendemos paliar dicha carencia caracterizando tecnomorfológicamente la industria lítica de este importante sitio, y enmarcarla en el Achelense de la Península Ibérica. El Complejo Inferior, adscrito al Pleistoceno medio pleno, con industria Achelense, se sitúa en la órbita de El Sartalejo, La Maya II, Áridos o Torralba, y el Complejo Superior, adscrito al Pleistoceno medio superior o incluso a un momento posterior, con industria Achelense final, lo hace en torno a La Maya I o a la fase III de Atapuerca.
In spite of the plentiful bibliography existent regarding the Pleistocene deposits of Ambrona, its lithic industry has been poorly documented. This fact becomes more marked in the «Upper Complex» of this site, where only a list with the total number of pieces contained in its sequence has been published. This paper tries to make up for this deficiency characterizing the lithic industry found in this important Pleistocene site in a technomorphological framework and finally providing a setting for these lithic series in the Acheulian period of the Iberian Peninsula, «The Lower Complex», attributed to Middle Pleistocene with Acheulian artefacts, is situated in the El Sartalejo, La Maya II, Áridos or Torralba «orbit», and the «Upper Complex», attributed to Upper Middle Pleistocene or even to a latter moment with final Acheulian artefacts, is like La Maya I or phase III of Atapuerca.
