Procesado y consumo antrópico de conejo en la Cova del Bolomor (Tavernes de la Valldigna, Valencia). El nivel XVIIc (ca 350 ka)
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.Downloads
