Why is it important?
The importance of this work lies on the one hand in the scarce and incomplete information we have for this period (MIS 5) in the inner territories of Iberian Peninsula. On the other hand, the interdisciplinary information that has been presented has allowed a better understanding of the environment in which the Neanderthals of central Iberia developed.
Perspectives
The continuation of the investigation both in this area (Valle del Lozoya) and in other adjacent areas will shed new light that will allow completing the puzzle of evidences
