摘要:This paper reviews the results obtained from the 1973 excavation of El Niño cave (Aýna, Albacete), corresponding to the Middle Palaeolithic occupations of the site. We present the technological analysis of lithic assemblages, the archaeozoological and taphonomical analysis of faunal remains, the analysis of plant macro remains, and the dates obtained for the archaeological levels. These dates place the Mousterian occupations of El Niño during MIS3. Despite the reduced number of archaeological remains, the results obtained permit the cave of El Niño cave to be placed within the context of Late Middle Palaeolithic in south-eastern Iberia, and provide new data regarding the process of extinction of the last Neanderthal populations.
