Abstract

Human remains recovered at the Ardines massif account for a small but diverse assemblage. Their deposit within the caves, their location in relation to the decorated areas, as well as their direct dating, enable us to make some reflections. Their links with other funerary contexts in Iberia and Europe are evident, as well as their relations with cave art and previous human occupations from the Upper Paleolithic. The contemporaneity of these burials with the last phase of paintings dated at the Tito Bustillo cave, shows that symbols used during the Cantabrian Upper Paleolithic were still in use by hunter-gatherers of this region during the 8th millennium cal BC. A certain tendency towards resiliency seems evident with regards to social dynamics inferred from other burials and chronologies from other Iberian regions during the Mesolithic.
