La fauna del pleistoceno superior asociada a los restos humanos neandertales de la Galería Lateral 1 de la Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona)

Cova del Gegant (Barcelona, NE Iberian peninsula) is an Upper Pleistocene site that presents carnivore occupations with some sporadic human activity characterized by hearth remains, stone tools and human fossils during Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. We report the combined application of zooarchaeolo...
