Resumen

En el presente artículo se discuten las principales cuestiones relacionadas con la formación del registro arqueológico plio-pleistocenino y los modelos conductuales propuestos para explicar su aparición. Se pone en relieve la relevancia de la participación de los homínidos en la formación de los yacimientos arqueológicos y se subraya que semejante hecho obecede a un comportamiento nuevo -distinto de los del resto de primates- que resulta más comprensible desde la elaboración de hipótesis sociales.
