Abstract: Cleaning works in the cave of Las Palomas in Teba (Málaga, Spain), developed by the Guadalteba Consortium, have provided a number of lithic tools and knapping products that may be ascribed to the Mode III technotypological tradition as well as remains of a number of large mammal species typical of Middle–Late Pleistocene times. Topographic measurements help to place this ancient cave within a karst landform. This discovery opens up new perspectives in the research on the Neanderthal groups that inhabited the valleys of Guadalteba and Turón rivers in the middle basin of the Guadalhorce River, and thus in the southern region of the Iberian Peninsula.

Muy intersante el link; lástima que el documento sea de pago; sería interesante conocer un marco cronológico de los útiles musterienses; en el capítulo de arqueomanía se hablaba de que posiblemente la cueva fuera ocupada hasta fechas más recientes de unos 50.000 años, en consonancia con el contexto general de los yacimientos neandertales de la zona.

Habrá que esperar:(

saludos!!
