Resumen

Las técnicas de subsistencia en grupos humanos del pasado se investigan en profundidad a través del estudio de las acumulaciones fósiles, de su formación, origen y composición. Los conjuntos faunísticos localizados en los yacimientos arqueológicos pueden reflejar el tipo de estrategias desarrolladas por los homínidos a través de disciplinas como la Zooarqueología y la Tafonomía. El presente trabajo analiza el conjunto faunístico del Nivel 4 de la Cueva de Prado Vargas (Cornejo, Burgos, España) con una antigüedad de 46.400 años BP (MIS 3). Este yacimiento se ha interpretado como lugar de ocupación recurrente donde procesaron los recursos cárnicos los grupos neandertales que habitan la zona sur de la Cordillera Cantábrica, quienes intercalan su presencia con otros predadores que aprovechan su ausencia en la cavidad para dejar su huella en el registro.
