Abstract

The present article presents novel data on the human consumption of rabbit of Middle Pleistocene chronologies of the Iberian Peninsula. A set originated from basal level (XVIIc) of the Bolomor Cave has been analyzed, corresponding to the oldest anthropic occupation documented, in the climatic phase (OIS 9), between 300-350 ka. One part of the bone remains shows clear evidence of human activity in form of cut marks and fractures while other elements indicate mechanical and digestive alterations as a consequence of the action of birds of prey. This set seems to correspond to a mixed pattern of cultural/natural contribution.
