          Abstract

          La diversificación de la subsistencia -su potencial- en periodos anteriores al Paleolítico superior ha configurado durante los últimos 40 años uno de los principales temas de discusión prehistórica en Europa. En medio de este debate, la Cova del Bolomor, con una cronología de entre 350 y 100 mil años antes del presente, surge como una de las evidencias más claras y antiguas del consumo sistemático de pequeños animales (e.g., lagomorfos, aves, tortugas) por homínidos anteriores a Homo sapiens. Los datos de Bolomor plantean la necesidad de reconsiderar aspectos e interrelacionar factores para explicar la diversificación de esta subsistencia en momentos anteriores al Paleolítico superior. En este estudio, presentamos los datos zooarqueológicos procedentes de tres niveles de la secuencia estratigráfica de Bolomor (XVII, XI y IV) con el objetivo de aportar una visión diacrónica de la dieta cárnica en este enclave. Los datos proporcionados por Bolomor permiten plantear que los cambios en la dieta humana no fueron lineales en el tiempo y en el espacio, sino que probablemente estuvieron condicionados por múltiples factores, en los que el patrón ocupacional, la diversidad del comportamiento y de forma significativa, las características medioambientales locales desempeñaron un papel importante.

          Translated abstract

          The diversification of subsistence in pre-Upper Paleolithic periods has been the focus of one of the main topics of discussion in Europe over the past 40 years. In the middle of this debate, Bolomor Cave, dated between 350 and 100 kya BP, emerges as one of the clearest and earliest evidence of the systematic use of small prey (e.g., rabbits, birds, tortoises) in to Homo sapiens. Data from Bolomor indicate the need to reconsider aspects and interrelate factors to explain this diversification of subsistence in chronologies prior to the Upper Paleolithic. In this study, we present zooarchaeological data from three levels of the stratigraphic sequence of Bolomor Cave (XVII , XI, and IV) in order to provide a diachronic view of the meat diet at this site. Data provided by Bolomor allow us to establish that the changes in the human diet were not linear in time and space, but seem to have been conditioned by multiple factors -among them, the occupational pattern, behavioral diversity, and local environmental characteristics tahat could have played an important role in the diversifcation of subsistence.
