对原始人行为的研究，反映在石器原材料的选择、采购和管理上，为研究特定旧石器时代社区的某些传统提供了一个可靠的框架。在此框架内分析了Gran多利纳（Sierra de Atapuerca，Burgos）遗址的TD 6（晚下更新世）和TD 10 A（晚中更新世）层技术组合的原材料。在Sierra de Atapuerca遗址的周围环境中，现成的原材料的丰富性和多样性使得技术和原材料之间的对应关系在分析的两个组合中得到了强调。因此，所获得的结果表明，占据这两个层次的原始人对用于工具生产的原材料进行了不同的选择，采购和管理行为。这些差异是一致的，在每个级别确定的技术系统：TD6，包含前阿舍利工业，表现出一种模式，标准化程度不高的原材料选择，而TD10A，由旧石器时代中期的工业为代表，表现出高度标准化的原材料选择和优化模式。这项研究产生了两个主要结论：（1）经济行为和技术传统的某些方面之间的对应关系是在大多利纳和（2）文化和生物因素可以解释历时的技术变化记录在Sierra de Atapuerca网站。
The study of hominid behavior as reflected in the selection, procurement, and management of lithic raw materials provides a reliable framework in which to study some of the traditions of particular Paleolithic communities. The raw materials composing the technological assemblages of levels TD6 (Late Lower Pleistocene) and TD10A (Late Middle Pleistocene) from the site of Gran Dolina (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos) were analyzed within this framework. The abundance and diversity of readily available raw materials in the immediate surroundings of the Sierra de Atapuerca sites have allowed the correspondence between technology and raw materials to be highlighted in both assemblages analyzed. Accordingly, the results obtained suggest that the hominids who occupied these two levels practiced different selection, procurement, and management behaviors with respect to the raw materials used for tool production. These differences are consistent with the technical systems identified in each level: TD6, containing a pre-Acheulean industry, exhibits a pattern of poorly standardized raw material selection, while TD10A, represented by a Middle Paleolithic industry, shows a highly standardized pattern of raw material selection and optimization. This study produced two main conclusions: (1) a correspondence between economic behavior and certain aspects of the technological tradition is documented at Gran Dolina and (2) cultural and biological factors may explain the diachronic technical changes documented at the Sierra de Atapuerca sites.
