| Sumario: | [EN] The results presented in this contribution focus on the avian remains recovered from Praileaitz I cave, Deba, Gipuzkoa. Taxa diversity and frequency are analysed within the recognized spatial and chronological frameworks. Corvids are the most abundant in all spaces and periods. The Alpine chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus) and the Red-billed chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax) account for more than 70% of the bone specimens identified. The assemblage is comprised by bird species resident in the Cantabrian coast but which also may be found in a wide range of climatic and ecological zones. The Willow ptarmigan (Lagopus lagopus) constitutes an exception. Its occurrence in the Solutrean probably relates to colder conditions than the present. Skeletal part distribution, bone preservation and juvenile individuals suggest the mixed origin of the accumulations, with carcasses of naturally dead birds and occasional prey from diurnal raptors. No anthropic activity was acknowledged. |
