This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the El Mirador cave, situated within the Atapuerca karstic system, which boasts one of the longest Pleistocene and Holocene archaeopaleontological deposits in Iberia. The book presents comprehensive findings, encompassing both new unpublished and published data, to delve into various aspects related to the prehistoric herders and farmers who inhabited this territory. Structured into four parts, the book delves into the site presentation and paleoenvironmental reconstruction, spanning a chronological range of 7060 ± 40-3040 ± 40 years. The excavation history and methodology are meticulously detailed, including innovative recording techniques such as 3D scanning and photogrammetry, as well as a meticulous sampling strategy. The book also explores the formation processes of the deposit, which are crucial in understanding the successive occupations of the caves, including its use as a sheepfold cave and the presence of human remains within various funerary contexts within the cave. In the final section, the book examines the material culture found within the cave, including lithic tools and pottery. This interdisciplinary work holds significant interest for scholars in various fields, including anthracology, zooarchaeology, paleoanthropology, lithic technology, and experimental archaeology.
