Sumario:This PhD thesis is focused on the study of level O of Romani rock-shelter with two main objectives: to interpret the lithic assemblages and, overall, to define the types of Neanderthal occupation of this level. Romani rock-shelter is one of the most important Middle Palaeolithic sites of Europe where the reconstruction of spatial organisation strategies is possible. Moreover, the particular characteristics of this site, such as good sedimentation, well preservation of combustion structures and wood negatives, make it ideal for this kind of studies.These results helped us to obtain information about how the Neanderthals organised and assembled these settlements and which kind of functionality they developed in each of them. These data demonstrates the complexity of Neanderthal’s behaviour, allowing to compare it with the behaviour of actual hunter-gatherers or with those identified in the Upper Palaeolithic settlements of Homo Sapiens.
