The first campaigns set its interest and parallels with the nearby sequence of Parpalló Cave (Gandia). However, the assessments were unfortunately limited to the Magdalenian evolution, almost neglecting the study of the Solutrean and Pre-Solutrean deposits. Reanalysis and critical reading of the report made it feasible to identify not only levels cited previously, but also Badegoulian levels and maybe there were even earlier Gravettian occupations.We presented at 2018 a research project to frame the study of the technical, economical and social trajectories of the prehistoric hunter-gatherers that inhabited it.

S’han documentat trenta restes humanes en el nivell mesolitic de les coves de Santa Maira. A mes de la descripcio de les marques antropogeniques identificades, tambe se situa la troballa en el seu context regional dins les pautes de subsistencia dels grups mesolitics de la zona, i es plantegen hipotesis sobre la seua intencionalitat.

La informació extreta, per la qualitat del registre arqueològic, constitueix una referència de primer ordre en la discussió del trànsit Plistocè-Holocè a la regió mediterrània peninsular. Però a banda d'això la cavitat també ens ha ofert dades importants sobre els processos de canvi cultural , sobre les relacions entre la mitja muntanya i la costa i una de les poques mostres evidents de canibalisme en un context mesolític (8.500-8.000 anys abans del present). Finalment, un plafó d'art rupestre llevantí (declarat patrimoni mundial per la UNESCO el 1998) ens parla d'un altre tipus de manifestacions vinculades a aquest jaciment.

Thirty human remains have been found in the Mesolithic levels of the Santa Maira Caves. As well as describing the anthropogenic marks identified, this paper contextualizes them within the archaeological context and subsistence patterns described for Mesolithic groups in the region, and hypothesizes about their intentionality.
Key words: Cannibalism; disarticulated human remains; Mesolithic; Eastern Iberia; Santa Maira caves.

La corroboración de dicha funcionalidad viene dada por una tipología característica de los depósitos estratigráficos y, más explícitamente, por los análisis de microsedimentología, realizados a partir de láminas delgadas. Se presentan los resultados preliminares de estos análisis, así como los obtenidos del estudio de una primera muestra antracológica procedente del mismo sector y secuencia estratigráfica.

The controlled use of fire could allow advances in the ways of life, not only for its value as a constant source of light and heat, but also because it contributed to the processing of food, to warding off the carnivores, and especially, to human socialization, as fire can be understood as a focus of concentration of activities and structuring of inhabited space. Apart from the many utilities that the hearths may have had during the Pleistocene, this research does not allow specification of the chronological and geographical context of the first controlled use of fire. From this perspective, the present study contributes to this discussion with the data from Bolomor Cave (Valencia, Spain). This site contains a sedimentary deposit composed of seventeen stratigraphical levels ranging from MIS 9 to MIS 5e (c. 350e100 ky). The stratigraphical series presents clear evidence of the controlled and reiterative use of fire. The used analytic techniques have confirmed the presence of hearths at levels II, IV, XI and XIII of the site. This paper discusses the hearths from level XIII, chronologically located in MIS 7c with an amino-acid racemization (AAR) date of 228 AE 53 ky. These combustion structures are the most ancient known today not only at Bolomor Cave and in Spain, but also in Southern Europe. From this perspective, the aim of this study is to make known the hearths from Level XIII of Bolomor Cave and to provide data that contribute to the general debate about the presence, knowledge and use of fire in the European Middle Pleistocene.

Therefore, it is necessary to undertake further complementary sedimentologic analyses, such as the description of the minerals that form the sediment, so that it would help understanding the pattern of each deposit. r
