Resumen
Pollen data from the Navalmaíllo rockshelter (Pinilla del Valle, Madrid), constitute an exceptional record, being pioneers in terms of its temporal resolution for the study area. Dating of the sequence (71,685 ± 5,082 – 77,230 ± 6,016), provide information Upper Pleistocene period, in an area where the archaeological sites and natural deposits are relatively recent formations (around usually from 3000-4000 years ago). In addition, given that the coat you have shown, both from the paleontological and archaeological point of view, intense human occupation, the composition and changes in the floristic cortege, charge special interest revealing climatic fluctuations through the transit from forested landscapes of Mediterranean nature, open spaces of dry and fresh character.Also the pollen spectrum is able to explain the lack of the rich record, and it can be interpreted under the perspective of the potential of the resources offered by the vegetation cover to the human community, Neanderthals, settled in the territory.
