Las primeras ocupaciones humanas de la Península Ibérica: una visión de síntesis = The earliest human occupation of the Iberian Peninsula: a summary

Abstract

This paper reviews those Iberian sites where a human activity has been proposed in the Lower Pleistocene. This critic review allows establishing a chronology of the latest Lower Pleistocene for the earliest Iberian human groups. Barranco León 5 and Fuentenueva 3 (Granada) and Gran Dolina (Sie­rra de Atapuerca, Burgos) records might set the first hominids of the Iberian Peninsula between normal subchron Gilsá (Mt. Cobb) (OIS 34) and just before the Brunhes/Matuyama limit (OIS 20), conventional Lower/Middle Pleistocene border.
