  • The Abrigo del Molino archaeological site is located in the Eresma river valley, near the city of Segovia (Central Spain). It consists of a shallow cave of fluvio-karstic origin, which has been completely filled with detrital deposits. Geoarchaeological interpretation of their genesis differentiates three groups: a lower group with sandy loams and fine sands interbedded with layers of pebbles and gravels deposited respectively during palaeofloods and by slope contributions; a middle group with massive silts and grain-supported boulders, formed by alternating contributions from the overlying slope and karstic mudflows and rockfalls from the shelter roof; an upper group with silt cemented by carbonates, final backfill alteration and degradation of the host rock. The techno-typological characteristics of the lithic activity and the OSL date (59.7 ± 2.7 ky) confirm the existence of Mousterian levels on the site, showing for the first time the presence of Neanderthal groups in karstic deposits on the northern Iberian Plateau, in the south of the Duero Basin.
