• Resumen

  • As we all know, the sensitivity of small mammals to any climatic pulse or landscape alteration allows us, among other things, to infer the paleoclimatic conditions of the sedimentological levels in which the bones of these small vertebrates are documented. In the case of the W mouth of Santa Maira caves, it is the Pleistocene-Holocene transitional levels, characterized by rapid fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Another thing is to know who, or which are the predators responsible for the bone formation; it is in this field where taphonomy plays an essential role. In the caves of Santa Maira. Homo sapiens is one of them, confirming the working hypothesis that we have defended in other sites of the Valencian Country.
