Análisis de los procesos tafonómicos de Cueva Morín. Primeros resultados de un estudio necesario

Abstract

Morín Cave is an important site used as a referential model in many works in regards to the Upper and Middle Paleolithic in the north of Spain. We offer in this report the study of a great part of its faunal record. We show that the water was an important element in its formation. The hidraulic action has influenced too on skeletal parts bias that appears in some levels. The carnivores, as show their tooth marks, would be important in the bone accumulation as well. Finally, we report that both cut and percussion marks in bones of many taxons belonging from different levels point out that the human being was the main responsible in the ungulates accumulation of Morín Cave.
