Abstract

1 min read

&lt;p&gt;The karstic cavity of Cova Rosa (Sard&amp;#233;u, Ribadesella, Asturias), developed in the La Escalada limestones (Moscovien, Carboniferous), contains an important archaeosedimentary sequence covering the Late Upper Pleistocene and the Lower Holocene. This sequence, excavated during the second half of the 20th century by Jord&amp;#225; Cerd&amp;#225; and G&amp;#243;mez Fuentes (1982), presents levels of Solutrense, Lower and Upper Magdalenian and Mesolithic. The sequence was studied sedimentologically by Hoyos G&amp;#243;mez (1979). In the last years members of a large research team are working again on this site and its materials (&amp;#193;lvarez-Fern&amp;#225;ndez and Jord&amp;#225; Pardo, 2018) and in this contribution we present the new lithostratigraphic sequence that has been studied again with geoarchaeological methodology. In addition, thanks to the 22 radiocarbon dates obtained (&amp;#193;lvarez-Alonso &lt;em&gt;et al&lt;/em&gt;., 2021), we can place the sequence on the Quaternary chronostratigraphic scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Referencias&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#193;lvarez-Fern&amp;#225;ndez, E. y Jord&amp;#225; Pardo, J.F.
