From the Mediterranean sea to the Segre river: manipulated shells from magdalenian levels of Parco's cave (Alòs de Balaguer, Lleida, Spain)

Figure 1. Lithics and bone industry remains from Magdalenian levels (Desings R. Álvarez).
The different stages of tool production of this bone
industry start from the preparation of blanks (“baguettes")
by double-grooved. The final morphology of the
object is obtained using the scraping technique and
- rarely - a finishing abrasive (Tejero 2005, Tejero and
Fullola 2008).
Faunal analyses show that rabbit (Oryctolagus
cuniculus) and wild goat (Capra pyrenaica) are the
most frequent taxa, the last one being characteristic
of the steep surroundings in which the cavity is located
(Nadal 1998).
Faunal remains included species such as red
deer (Cervus elaphus), european roe deer
(Capreolus capreolus), wolf (Canis lupus) and trout
(Salmo trutta).
The faunal remains, raw material procurement,
lithic technology, micro use-wear analysis, and complexity
of occupations, allow us to define this site as
