Extensive research carried out during the last 30 years in lowermost foothills of Southern Pyrenees has revealed significance this area for studying Neanderthal lifestyle and settlement histories Iberian Peninsula. With a large number cave rock shelter sites, broad-ranging chronologies, relatively well-known sedimentation rates environmental conditions, enclave continues to improve our knowledge about behaviour Western Europe. Here we present chronostratigraphic, technological, faunal, palaeoenvironmental results from Abric Pizarro, recently discovered site region. Its archaeological sequence is centred on MIS 4, poorly known period history. The application three different dating methods (newly obtained single-grain optically stimulated luminescence U-series fossil teeth ages, addition previously published thermoluminescence ages) provides an accurate chronology where exceptional preservation faunal remains leads significant interpretations hunting abilities adaptability. Moreover, analysis lithic assemblage, as well preliminary data, are used provide insights into degree which chronocultural or factors were responsible some differences observed among four units explored Pizarro date. Our contribute discussion resilience their livelihood before disappearance record.
