En el transcurso de una intervención arqueológica en el solar nº 6 de la calle Artekale 6 de la villa de Plentzia (Bizkaia) se localizó un conjunto lítico sobre el sustrato rocoso y bajo un depósito de arcillas de 40 cm de espesor. En este trabajo se describe este conjunto de núcleos y lascas, y se propone una atribución del conjunto al Paleolítico Medio, probablemente reciente. Además, se discute el papel de estos breves asentamientos en las estrategias de asentamiento de los Neandertales en esta región. ABSTRACT: In the course of an archaeological intervention in the site of Artekale Street 6 in the town of Plentzia (Bizkaia), a lithic assemblage was found on the bedrock below 40 cm of clayey sediment. This paper describes the assemblage of cores and flakes, and proposes an attribution to the Middle Palaeolithic, probably recent. In addition, the role of these short-term occupations in regional Neanderthal settlement strategies is discussed.
