Resumen
The following are the first findings obtained from the geoarchaeological study of the Sella river fluvial terraces, in the Eastern part of Asturias. The most outsanding results have been the identification of 12 terrace levels, located at + 110, +75-80, + 60-65, +40-50, + 27-30, + 17, + 12, + 10, + 8, + 6 and + 4 m. above the actual level of the river. Archaeological works have resulted in the discovery of 30 prehistoric sites linked to the terraces, where 200 lithics artefacts have been found, some on the surface but most in stratigraphic sequences. Mode 2 lithic assemblages (Lower Palaeolithic) were found in level + 60-65 to + 30 m, Mode 3 lithic industry (Middle Palaeolithic) in level + 20 to + 10 m, and Mode 4 industry (Upper Palaeolithic) in level + 8 m.
