Abstract:
The shortfall of historiographical studies on the Pleistocene in the context of the Cuenca Media-Baja del Tajo together with the archaeological interventions boom that is happening at present, led us to propose a research project to help the understanding of this period and in this geographical context. As the archaeological record concerning the Pleistocene is mainly lithic these studies are based on the fields closely related to it, starting from a descriptive and constructive phase of the lithic technology through a system of analysis, the Analytical Logical System which will lead us to the proposed explanatory phase. This research project focuses on one of the first sites excavated outdoors, the Vendimia Site, and which is related to geomorphological contexts other than those raised in the zoth century. This enclave called Complejo Cacereño, solves the information gap with a more complete paleoecological record and a program of radiometric dating, enabling us to make an assessment from a paleoeconomic perspective on different models of occupation and its technological development throughout the Pleistocene. Also, these data can contribute to the knowledge of the functionality and possible chronologies of those other findings at different sites in the province of Cáceres which were mostly recovered through drilling.
