Abstract

An approach to the situation of Palaeolithic research in the North-eastern Spain and surrounding areas, is presented based on a critical assessment of ideological and instrumental resources used over the last fi ve decades of historical development. Together with the weight of the historical tradition in the different territories studied and to the uncovering of the most singular differentiating facts during the recent past, the determining methodological keys to the research process have been signifi cantly stressed. In this sense, four thematic fi elds have been subject to a critical revision: prospecting; concept and praxis of a dig; the multidisciplinary analytical scope; and ideological treatment and perspective. To fi nish, after an illustrative summary of the wide-ranging chrono-cultural sequence documented �from an advanced stage of the Lower Pleistocene to the Early Holocene� a number of refl ections on the future of Palaeolithic research in this particular geographical region are offered. Furthermore, a specifi c history of research projects undertaken in certain territories and subject to selected themes has been included.
