Sumario:The transition from the 3rd to the 2nd millennium cal BC in the Upper Tagus basin counts with few radiometric dates, despite having a significant archaeological record. The contribution of new dates helps to establish reference points for contexts with Bell Beaker pottery and the first ones attributable to the Bronze Age, a reality that has become particularly complex in recent decades. In this paper, we present four new radiometric dates coming from an archaeological context from the late 3rd millennium cal BC excavated at the cueva de la Noguera (Val de San García, Cifuentes). This context allows us to update the information on the cultural dynamics observed in Guadalajara province./nThe new dates emphasize the complexity of the transition between the 3rd and 2nd millennium cal BC in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula and highlight the diversity in the forms of landscape occupation. In turn, the Noguera cave shows a mode of cave living that appears consistent with other occupations in the Meseta. The recovered fauna and materials found on the cave's exterior surface indicate a possible agricultural-livestock use of the location.
