Abstract
Biostratigraphy and paleomagnetism (supported by OSL dating) demonstrate that the Cueva Negra sedimientary deposit dates to the Early Pleistocene, before the Matuyama-Brunhes Boundary (around 780.000 ybp). This deposit includes paleontological and paleopalinological remains that points to a warm/humid climatic episode (probably MIS 21 or MIS 25) and a lithic assemblage that shows “lower” and “middle” paleolithic characteristics. During the 2011 fieldwork campaing a layer of ashes was exposed in lever6, confirming previous evidences that indicate that there was fire kept inside Cueva Negra more than 800.000 years ago.
