Abstract
Within the archaeological context of the Calcolithic Camino de las Yeseras settlement we propose a raw materials acquisition analysis of the milling elements, starting with the Bell Beaker Horizon. The local quartzites present in the base of the deposit with a fluvial origin, acquired in the next surroundings have being replaced by other local but less frequent stones and, mainly by the granite and other metamorphic rocks coming from the mountain area, about a 30-40 kilometers far from the site. This mountainous region where also the location in which copper minerals were benefit, whose transformation acquires with the Ball Beakers groups the definitive introduction in the zone. Possibly this changes are due to different circumstances: the increasing specialization of the tools and the intensification of the surveys destined to the metallurgy catchment, obviously in a context of important social changes.
