Abstract
A new project has restarted research at Los Casares Cave, in Riba de Saelices, Guadalajara. The study of the Pleistocene deposits still preserved in the Seno A of the cave seeks to establish relationships between the dynamics of settlement of Neanderthals and ecological changes in the central region of the Iberian Peninsula during the Late Pleistocene. Collecting sediment for analysis of various types has provided a small sample of microfauna, including skeletal fragments of lagomorphs, rodents, birds and reptiles. The aims of this work are the study of the microfauna and to propose a preliminary biostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.
