Abstract The Palaeolithic rock engravings that are located along the Nalon river basin in Northern Spain (central area of Asturias) have been studied from various perspectives (morphology, depth, style, manual range), but no use-wear studies on the stone tools used to produce such engravings have ever been undertaken. This paper aims to explore a new approach to this type of incisions based on use-wear analysis of experimental lithic tools used to engrave limestone blocks and slabs. Our results show that the use-wear traces generated by engraving limestone are well-developed and can be defined with specific criteria. The principal objective of this study was to provide the first experimental reference collection of use-wear resulting from engraving limestone using flint and quartzite experimental tools to compare with the traces that appear on tools in the archaeological record in contexts with parietal and portable art and, more specifically, to add a new approach to the multidisciplinary study of the La Vina rock shelter.

石灰石加工产生的使用磨损和残留物的表征。La Viña 岩石庇护所壁顶艺术的实验方法（西班牙阿斯图里亚斯的拉曼萨内达）

摘要 位于西班牙北部（阿斯图里亚斯中部地区）纳隆河流域的旧石器时代石刻已从各种角度（形态、深度、风格、手工范围）进行了研究，但没有对所使用的石器进行磨损研究。曾经进行过制作此类雕刻。本文旨在基于用于雕刻石灰石块和板的实验石器工具的使用磨损分析，探索这种类型切口的新方法。我们的结果表明，雕刻石灰石产生的使用磨损痕迹很发达，可以用特定的标准来定义。
