“…The size and SDQ results for A. amphibious (mean: 82.6; range: 72.8-103.9; Supplementary Fig. S13) are consistent with central European sites and Cova Eirós during MIS 3 (Maul et al, 2014;López-García et al, 2017;Rey-Rodríguez et al, 2016). Indeed, all these species can be found nowadays in northern Iberia (Blanco, 1998), with the sole exception of Pliomys coronensis, which went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene (Cuenca-Bescós et al, 2010;López-García et al, 2012).…”

The destroyed site(s) of Koskobilo (Olazti, Navarre, Northern Iberian Peninsula) have yielded unique archaeopaleontological evidence in the Western Pyrenees region. The quarry uncovered a karstic site with faunal remains in 1940, and fossils were recovered both in situ and from the quarry dump. Ten years later, while the quarry was still working, a new visit to the dump yielded a large lithic assemblage and additional fossil remains with a different taphonomic pattern, which has been interpreted as the remains coming from a different site or zone within the same karst system. Here we re-study the paleontological evidence and provide new dating on a speleothem covering a Stephanorhinus hemitoechus tooth, which has yielded a minimum date of c. 220 ka for part of the assemblage. In total, the fossil assemblage comprises 38 mammal and six avian taxa and three fish remains. The faunal evidence indicates that in 1940 a mix of taxa from both the Middle and Upper Pleistocene were recovered, and it is difficult to assign most of them to a concrete period. However, based on biochronological criteria some of the identified taxa (e.g., Ursus thibetanus, Ursus cf. deningeri, Cuon cf. priscus, Macaca sylvanus, cf. Megaceroides) could be roughly contemporaneous with the dated rhino tooth, which would provide a new window to the Middle Pleistocene of the region, with deposits from MIS 7d and/or older.

“…Small-mammal assemblages from these sites include Mediterranean species (M. (T.) duodecimcostatus or I. cabrerae) and typical woodland species (A. sylvaticus and E. quercinus), independently of stadial-interstadial cycles. This pattern is also noted for northern and northwestern Iberia, in Lezetxiki II, Askondo, Cueva del Conde, and Cova Eiro 's (Garcia-Ibaibarriaga, 2015;Lo 'pez-García et al, 2011a;Murelaga et al, 2012;Rey-Rodríguez et al, 2016); in central Iberia, Los Casares (Alcaraz-Castaño et al, 2017) and even in the Atlantic coast, in Figueira Brava cave (Jeannet, 2000) and Caldeirão cave (Povoas et al, 1992).…”

“…1). Este yacimiento presenta una ubicación privilegiada desde el punto de vista de las comunicaciones, ya que se encuentra cerca de una divisoria que da paso a valles que se abren hacia el Cantábrico si- Si bien la mayor cantidad de hallazgos arqueológicos en este lugar corresponde al periodo pleistoceno y, mucho más tarde, a actividades de época altomedieval (Rodríguez- Álvarez et al 2011;Teira et al 2012;Lombera et al 2014;Rey-Rodríguez et al 2016), existen tanto en la entrada como en la gran sala interior de la cueva restos materiales pertenecientes a la Prehistoria Reciente, comenzando por un enterramiento dentro de la cavidad datado a mediados del IV milenio cal AC y algunos fragmentos cerámicos recuperados en el sector de la entrada que se podrían encuadrar en momentos posteriores, calcolíticos o incluso del Bronce Final (Tab. 1) (Fábregas et al 2012b: 24;Lombera et al 2014).…”

El hallazgo de un vaso cerámico parcialmente conservado en el curso de las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en Cova Eirós permite aportar nuevos datos sobre la cultura material del Neolítico regional. El recipiente, tanto por su forma de botella como por su decoración (impresión de concha), recuerda claramente a la cerámica cardial, tan característica del registro arqueológico entre los primeros grupos neolíticos del sur de la península ibérica. Se abordan las circunstancias del hallazgo y los paralelos más cercanos, que se encuentran entre las colecciones cerámicas del sur de Portugal. A modo de conclusión, sugerimos que la pieza analizada se remonta probablemente al final del VI milenio a. C.
