Abstract
The Mediterranean basin constitutes one of the best areas to analyse Neanderthal populations and lifestyles in South-Western Europe. In this context, new excavations conducted in the Middle Palaeolithic site of Cova del Puntal del Gat expand the information available regarding this rich region. In this study, new results are reported, including detailed studies on stratigraphy, lithic technology, anthracology, carpology, and zooarchaeology and taphonomy of macro and micromammals, with the final objective of characterizing the Neanderthals’ subsistence strategies and occupational patterns. These results are framed within a broader regional study perspective that includes MIS 5 and 4 sites. Chronostratigraphic review has enabled us to reorganize many sites that were originally included in MIS 3, towards older stages belonging to the end of MIS 4 and throughout MIS 5.
地中海盆地是分析欧洲西南部尼安德特人人口和生活方式的最佳地区之一。在此背景下,在Cova del Puntal del Gat旧石器时代中期遗址进行的新发掘扩大了关于这个富饶地区的可用信息。在这项研究中,报告了新的结果,包括地层学,石器技术,人类学,人类学,动物考古学和宏观和微型哺乳动物的埋藏学的详细研究,最终目的是表征尼安德特人的生存策略和职业模式。这些结果是在包括MIS 5和MIS 4站点的更广泛的区域研究视角内构建的。年代地层回顾使我们能够重新组织最初包含在MIS 3中的许多地点,朝向属于MIS 4末尾和整个MIS 5的较旧阶段。
