Chronological Abstract: 

The cave, together with a group of other caves, is situated inside the mountain Castillo. The sequence, with nearly thirty archaeological layers, is providing valuable information about the transition, or replacement, between the Neanderthal populations of the Mousterian period and the Homo sapiens sapiens of the Aurignacian and later Upper Paleolithic periods (Sainz, Toca 2003).
