La Gruta Nova de Columbeira, descubierta en 1962,
constituye uno de los más importantes sítios del Paleolítico
Medio en Portugal. La industria lítica, que aquí se caracteriza por primeira vez, puede describirse genéricamente
como un Musteriense de denticulados rico en
raederas, de talla y facies levallois, sin signo alguno que la
aproxime, a patrones asimilables al Paleolítico Superior.
Dos dataciones C 14 de los dos niveles de ocupación
humana de la base de la secuencia (28900 ± 900 y 26400
± 750 BP) confieren un interés especial a esta localidad, que se incluye en el conjunto de casi dos decenas de sitios
ibéricos (sur de España y Portugal) en que fué comprobada
la subsistencia del Musteriense y de los neandertales
hasta incluso después de 30000 BP. Se plantea una argumentacion
paleobiogeográfica para explicar este fenómeno,
en el cuadro de la evolución histórica documentada
en las tres penínsulas meridionales (ibérica, itálica y balcánica)del continente europeo.
Gruta Nova de Columbeira, discovered in 1962, is one of the most important Middle Palaeolithic sites in Portugal. The lithic industry, here described for the first time, may be described in general terms as a Denticulate Mousterian of Levallois facies rich in sidescrapers and it bears no resemblance to the Upper Palaeolithic. Two 14C dates (28900 ± 900 and 26400 ± 750 BP) from the two human occupations at the base of the stratigraphic sequence confer a particular interest to this site. It is among almost twenty others in southern Spain and Portugal in which Mousterian industries and Neanderthal sekeletal remains persit even after 30000 BP. This article presents a biogeographical explanation of this phenomenon in the context of the historical evolution documented in the three southern peninsulae of Europe (Iberia, Italy, and the Balkans).
