Abric Romaní

Abric Romaní

The Abric Romaní site is a large rock shelter located on the north side of the travertine cliff known as Cinglera del Capelló (Capellades, Barcelona). The site was discovered in 1909 by Amador Romaní, who carried out the earliest archaeological work at the site.
La Boella

Barranc de la Boella

The paleogeography of the Barranc de la Boella site is related to the lower Francolí river valley.

Camp dels Ninots

Camp dels Ninots

The Camp dels Ninots site is a phreatomagmatic volcanic eruption of Pliocene age (3.1 Ma) which subsequently formed a lake. Such volcanic structures are called "maar". The specific geological conditions, corresponding to lake sedimentation, make it ideal for the preservation of fossils.
Cova de les Borres

Cova de les Borres

The Les Borres Cave site is a rock-shelter located in the head of Siurana river basin.

Cova de les Llenes

Cova de les Llenes

Llenes Cave is located in the Pre-Pyrenees of Lleida, in the municipality of Conca de Dalt (Pallars Jussà).

Coves del Toll-Teixoneres

The Toll and Teixoneres caves are located in the “Torrent Mal” Valley, 4 km east of the town of Moià (Bages, Barcelona), and at 760 m.a.s.l. Their coordinates are 41º 48’ 25’’ N and 2º 09’ 02’’ E.

La Cansaladeta

La Cansaladeta

The site of La Cansaladeta (La Riba, Alt Camp) is located in a narrow passage dug out by the Francolí River in the pre-coastal range that connects the Tarragona coastal plain with the Catalan Central Depression. The archaeological deposit lies on top of a +40-45 m fluvial terrace, at the foot of a partially dismantled rock shelter.
La Cativera

La Cativera

The Cativera archaeological site is in a small rock-shelter open on the left bank of the Gaià River. The stratigraphic sequence is approximately 2m deep, divided into 8 archaeological levels. Charcoal sample datings situate the site's chrono-cultural sequence between the final stages of the Pleistocene and the start of the Holocene.
Molí del Salt

Molí del Salt

The Molí del Salt site is a rock-shelter in the Tertiary conglomerates (Upper Oligocene), common among the eastern borders of the Ebro basin.

Gran Dolina - TD10

Atapuerca

Sierra de Atapuerca is a mid-altitude karst range (roughly 1080 m above sea level) located ~15 km away from the city of Burgos (north-central Spain). Sierra de Atapuerca and its prehistoric occupations are one of Europe’s most important sources of ancient human fossils. They were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
