Resum:
This work consists of: Petrography of speleothems, stable isotope analysis, dating by OSL and field observations (paleokarst features and description of the detrital deposits). The data provided have shed the original entrance to the cavity, developing the hypothesis of the existence of a higher level near the surface and which is now clogged. This level is communicated through the cave as a joint present. The morphology of these joints has allowed the entry of light into this area, in addition to finding the constant presence of water by the location of travertine. With dating we have made better redefine the morphology of the joints and the cave itself by placing the closure of the cavity in the area at approximately 120 ka. This allows us to recognize prehistoric occupation sites from the original morphology and future areas of archaeological excavations.
