This work addresses the stratigraphic sequence of two prehistoric cavities with occupations from the Paleolithic and Neolithic periods, important for the understanding of human occupations from the Pleistocene and Holocene at the southern Iberian Peninsula. It is an interdisciplinary contribution with geological, stratigraphic studies, soil micromorphology, pollen, anthracology, terrestrial macrofauna and microfauna, marine fauna, archaeometry of lithic tools, analysis of lithic technology, ceramic studies, as well as prehistoric art. It is completed with numerous absolute dates by various techniques: Uranium Thorium, C14, TL, OSL, among others.

This is an extensive international effort. 58 researchers (co-authors) participated: 36 from institutions in Spain, 13 from institutions in Germany, 4 from the United Kingdom, 2 from Denmark, 1 from Portugal, 1 from France, and 1 from the Philippines.
