Palaeolithic archaeology in the conglomerate caves of north-eastern Iberia

Large, conglomerate caves in north-eastern Iberia have been significant places since the Neolithic through to historical times; however, their significance during the Palaeolithic has barely been explored. This project is the first systematic study of the use of these iconic geological landmarks among Pleistocene hunter-gatherers.This research is funded by the Generalitat de Catalunya's Culture Department (CLT009/18/00024 and 00053) and AGAUR (2017SGR-0011 and 1040), the Spanish Ministry of Science (PID2020-113960GB-I00) and the City Council of l'Espluga de Francolí. A.R.-H., J.I.M. and M.G. are supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the María de Maeztu excellence accreditation (CEX2019-000945-M); M.S. is the beneficiary of the UAM TyV Program, R.H. of the URV 2019PMF-PIPF-59 grant and J.R.R. of the UA MARSALAS21-22 grant
