Resumen
This communication introduces aspects of the management and transformation of deer antler by hunter-gatherer groups during the Cantabrian Magdalenian (17-14 Ka cal BP), and specifically in the Sella valley. Numerous Magdalenian sites are concentrated in this region, making the study of their material remains interesting to determine the potential particularities of a specific territory inhabited by human groups. To this end, more than a hundred remains of this raw material from the archaeological site of Cova Rosa (Asturias, Northern Spain) have been analyzed. The examination of these antler remains, from an anatomical, taxonomic, typological and technological point of view, has allowed us to distinguish several strategies for the collection and selection of the antler, as well as to reconstruct part of the "chaîne opératoire" of the manufacture of tools at this site. This study has also enabled us to introduce aspects of the use and recycling of the tools.
Finally, through a bibliographical review of studies of the osseous industry in the Sella valley, we can confirm a relative homogeneity, at least topologically, of osseous tools in the archaeological record. Ultimately, this communication highlights the need for the inclusion of these methodological approaches in research on deer antler working during the Magdalenian period in the studied territory
