Popis:	The research during the construction of the M-50 highway has allowed the documentation and conservation of the first Neolithic flint mine in the Iberian Peninsula. This work presents the preliminary results of the first phase of archaeological excavations. Thus far, the site plan documented shows a group of more than 2.500 extraction pits. Presented here are a description of the pits, their types and distribution, as well as the abundant archaeological materials found inside them. The characteristcs of the features and their backfilling processes indicate the existence of precise working strategies that may ompel a revision of our understanding of the Neolithic in the Madrid region. Moreover, three other phases have also been recorded in the site: Pleistocene, Middle Bronze Age and Contemporary.
