The far south: the Pleistocene–Holocene transition in Nerja Cave (Andalucı́a, Spain)

Abstract The archaeological site of Cueva de Nerja (Malaga, Spain) provides significant data about the bioclimatic conditions of one of the most southern European temperate regions. The bioclimatic and palaeogeographic changes that have occurred during the 20,000 years of human occupation of the site can be analysed by relating the geodynamic processes, the palaeobotany and the palaeofauna recovered from its archaeological deposits.
