The application of 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) for topographic data sampling, and also its relevant capability to improve detailed 3D terrain models, are commonly applied to a large variety of scientific and technical analyses, such as geomorphology, archaeology and historical heritage studies. This work presents the application of TLS to the Neanderthal Site of “El Sidrón” Cave (Piloña, Asturias). The detailed different topographic analyses carried out in the area are strictly focused on the establishment of relationships between the endo- and exokarstic evolution of the cave system. In other words, on the evolution of the geomorphological evolution of the karstic complex directly related with the Neanderthal site. The TLS terrain model of the “Galería del Osario” presented here helps to put constraints on the geometrical relationships between endo- and exokarstic features, giving support to the analysis of probable ancient connections between these two environments.
