Project Description

The Cave of the Angel is a unique, Acheulean era (1,500,000–150,000 years ago) site located in the Aras mountain range in southern Spain (Lucena, Cordoba). Since 2012, the Spanish Fundación Instituto de Invetigación de Prehistoria y Evolución Humana (FIPEH), founded by Dr. Barroso Ruiz, has coordinated various research initiatives focused on studying Quaternary period humans in Southern Spain. The site consists of a cave entrance, a rock shelter, and a large chasm. The rock shelter shows evidence of human occupation more than 400,000 years ago and contains faunal bones indicating human processing, a large hearth, and numerous lithic tools of different typologies. The cave entrance has a floor with two small openings connecting to a chasm 100 meters underneath it. The chasm reaches deep into the heart of the mountain and contains a cone of debris composed of ceramic, animal bones, human bones, lithic artifacts, rock, and sand. The controlled climate within the chasm — steady humidity and constant, cool temperature — has made it possible to isolate preserved DNA from the recovered remains.

Our research goal is to understand the life of Acheulean populations who inhabited the Southern Iberian Peninsula and the environment in which they lived. Excavations in the chasm have, so far, recovered remains related to post-mortem activities of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods, including more than 600 Homo sapiens remains. Participants in this program will enjoy a unique opportunity to understand the environment and lifestyle of the populations who occupied southern Europe hundreds of thousands of years ago in a program that includes field survey, laboratory training, lectures from top experts in European prehistory, and field trips to sites of cultural and archeological importance in the region.
