Résumé
Archaeological (specially lithic) materials from the dolmen de Alberite (Villamartín, Cádiz, Spain), dated by C1 at 5th milenium B.C., are studied by optical and electronic microscopy, X-ray dispersive energy analysis, X-ray diffraction and infra-red spectroscopy. The results obtained show the high grade of applicability of these techniques to the archaeological materials study and the presence of «exotic materials», both in the burial materials as well as in the dolmen. Upon these results, and taking into account the source áreas geographyc study, we show the high mobility grade of these materials. We also observe the exclusive character of many of these objects, specially if we consider the characteristics of this burial.
