Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the body of knowledge on the first human occupations predating MIS 21 in the Atapuerca karst system. These occupations are described in terms of their ecological, cultural and technological context based on the Sima del Elefante and Gran Dolina sites. This paper focuses on the lower units of these sedimentary infills, specifically Unit TE9 of Sima del Elefante and Unit TD4 of Gran Dolina. In addition, evidence of the earliest human settlements in Europe is reviewed and hypotheses about the dynamics and intensity of that settlement are proposed.
本文旨在为阿塔普尔卡岩溶系统中早于 MIS 21 的第一批人类居住地的知识体系做出贡献。本文以 Sima del Elefante 和 Gran Dolina 遗址为基础,从生态、文化和技术角度对这些人类活动进行了描述。本文的重点是这些沉积填充物的下部单元,特别是 Sima del Elefante 的 TE9 单元和 Gran Dolina 的 TD4 单元。此外,本文还回顾了欧洲最早人类定居点的证据,并提出了有关定居点动态和强度的假设。
