Análisis arqueomalacológico de la cueva de Altamira (Santillana del Mar, Cantabria): excavaciones de J. González Echagaray y L. G. Freeman

Abstract

[EN] This paper presents the results obtained through the study of the marine malacological remains recovered during J. González Echegaray and L. G. Freeman’s archaeological excavations at Altamira Cave in the early 1980s. This research has been carried out mainly from the taxonomic, quantitative, taphonomic and biometric points of view. Finally, the information obtained has been compared with the results of earlier excavations at Altamira and other sites in Cantabrian Spain with levels dated in the Solutrean and Magdalenian periods
