Sumario:The role of pollen and small mammal records in the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the societies that inhabited the Cantabrian Region during Greenland Stadial 2 has gained relevance in the last twenty years. In response to the scarcity of long non-anthropogenic sedimentary sequences that cover the entire Greenland Stadial 2 (with the exception of the beginning of the Late Glacial period), most of the information is provided by archaeological sites. The numerous excavations of deposits discovered in recent years, as well as the review of sites already excavated with the current sampling techniques, allow a more accurate approach to the reality. Various factors such as the postdepositional modification of sedimentary sequences, the deficient preservation of the remains or the application of inadequate sampling strategies, among others, imply that most of the information corresponds to the chrono-cultural period known as Magdalenian.
