Resumen
The sedimentary succession at Casa Montero flint archaelogical site belongs to the green-clays unit of the Intermediate Unit of the Madrid Basin. A succession of silt-clay (mainly Mg-smectites), dolomite and silica rocks has been studied to know the sedimentary environment and diagenetic processes around the site. The succession consists of silt-clay and carbonate sequences that represent a lacustrine environment with subaerial exposure events. The exposition events led to the development of a enlarged pseudomicrokarst in the topmost carbonate level. Vertisols were reworked at the top of the sequence. The diagenetic processes include early dolomitization of palustrine carbonates, partial transformation of the Mg-smectites and silicification of carbonates and clays in a groundwater environment. The presence of the archaeological site is due to the presence of opaline cherts with "aging" to quartz, that are uncommon in the silt-clay sequences of the Madrid Basin. The "aging" give these flints optimum properties for the Neolothic industry.
