摘要:El Chaparral is a paleontological site
(Villaluenga del Rosario, Cádiz, Spain) characterized by
a sedimentological context typical of exokarstic systems.
Macro- and microfaunal analysis indicates a chronology
between 1–1.2 Ma, placing this site on the Early Pleistocene.
From its discovery, El Chaparral has presented an
excavation challenge, as it contains cemented blocks of
compact clay breccia. This forced us to design a methodology
allowing controlled recovery of breccia blocks for subsequent
treatment in the laboratory. In this paper, we describe the
methodology and present the results of our analysis.
