The study of the siliceous raw materials used for the lithic industry of Cocina Cave (Dos Aguas, Valencia) is a subject that we have been carrying out for years with ArchaeChemis, in particular with Mirco Ramacciotti's PhD thesis. Since 2020, we can count on the financial support of the Fundación Palarq. Indeed, Professors Oreto García Puchol and Agustín Pastor García, and Mirco Ramacciotti participated in the 2019/2020 analytics call and obtained a grant for the use of analytical techniques in the study of archaeological materials.
The results of this project were published in a scientific paper:
