TL;DR: The bipolar-on-anvil technique is applied in different contexts, on different raw materials and as a technical choice or gesture in the reduction sequences and its ubiquitous presence is proof of its considerable technical versatility and, hence, of Mode 1 hominin technological flexibility and capabilities.

TL;DR: Another characteristic of the lithic assemblage of Barranco León is presented: the presence of polyhedral and, especially, subspheroid morphologies, virtually unknown in the European context for this timeframe.

TL;DR: Barranco Leon is the oldest and richest late Lower Pleistocene stone tool assemblage discovered so far in Europe as mentioned in this paper, and it has been used to study the activity range of the hominins that used them.

TL;DR: Barranco Leon (Orce, Andalusia, Spain) provides the oldest case of knapping and percussive activities on an ancient raw material reservoir deposit as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a postdoctoral scholarship from the MICINN, Subprograma Juan de la Cierva (IJC-037447-I), and member of the consolidated research group 2017 SGR 1040 of the Generalitat de Catalunya.
