Esquilleu Cave (Cillórigo de Liébana, Cantabria, Spain) is a rockshelter placed in the Picos de Europa region (Cantabrian Range) that contains an important sedimentary record of the Upper Pleistocene (OIS 3-OIS 2) with mousterian lithics industries and abundant bone remains. The stratigraphic sequence consists of 41 levels grouped in three litostratigraphic units with different sedimentary and palaeoenvironmental meaning. In the low unit we have detected important accumulations of hydroxylapatite of diagenetic origin, studied by X-ray diffraction, ESEM and TL
