• Resumen

  • This year’s excavation has fundamentally affected levels VI, VIb, and VII of the central sector of the excavation and also E and E2 in the west strip of the site. In the three and half meters of stratigraphic potential, the different sedimentological levels are all archaeologically rich and indicate a continuous occupation from the tenth millennium BP to at least the II. Industrial stages were represented by mesolithic laminates –the excavation of which has been better focussed this season–, two grooved and one denticulated artefacts (Campigne– style), another two mesolithic geometric artefacts and a number of neolithic ones - the excavation of these having been initiated in the early stages. The prehistoric interest of the site concludes with the funerary use of the cave. In general there is an abundance of stone artefacts, pottery and bone items representing each cultural occupation therein. Zones of combustion and some architecture have also been detected.
