Descripción
Sumario:In this paper the micromammal assemblage found in the site of Ventalaperra (Karrantza, Bizkaia) is described. The studied remains come from two different stratigraphic levels with archaeological remains. The lower level has been placed in the Mousterian whereas the upper one is dated as Upper Palaeolithic. The micromammals are represented in this site by one lagomorph, eight rodents, one chiropteran and two insectivorous. The micromammal assemblage indicates a humid temperate climate with forest similar to those occurring in the area at present day
