Abstract
Descubierto un yacimiento paleolítico en el valle medio del río Tajo, provincia de Toledo (España), con al menos dos niveles arqueológicos diacrónicos, PNA y TGS, que contienen abundante industria lítica achelense. Tales niveles se hallan en un abanico aluvial desarrollado sobre la terraza de +40 m de dicho colector. PNA está situado a techo de un depósito de arenas fluviales cubierto por limo-arcillas carbonatados, y su industria presenta, por lo general, alteraciones leves producidas básicamente por acción eólica, por lo que gran parte de ésta podría conservarse prácticamente "in situ". El nivel arqueológico superior, TGS, es un depósito de grava fluvial, de unos 20 cm de potencia, también cubierto por limo-arcillas carbonatados. En dicho nivel la industria está más alterada, sobre todo la registrada a techo, que acusa intensas pátinas eólicas. El yacimiento se localiza en un lugar geográfico estratégico, geológicamente singular.
En este artículo se exponen datos obtenidos en las prospecciones y en la primera campaña de excavación. A la vista de la información disponible, creemos que estamos ante un yacimiento muy interesante con grandes posibilidades interpretativas.
A Palaeolithic archaeological site has been discovered in the middle Tajo valley, province of Toledo (Spain), with at least two archaeological diachronic levels, PNA and TGS, with a lot of acheulean lithic industry. Both levels are found in an alluvial fan on the +40 m terrace of the Tajo river. PNA is situated on the top of a bed of fluvial sands covered by carbonated siltclays. Its industry shows, in general, slight alterations produced basically by Aeolian activity, so that a high percentage of it could be conserved practically “in situ”. The upper archaeological level, TGS, is a deposit of fluvial gravel, about 20 cm depth, covered by carbonated siltclays too. In such level the industry has usually strong Aeolian patina, specially that registered on the top. The archaeological site is placed in a strategic geographical position, geologically singular besides. In this article, data obtained in the prospections and in the first excavation campaign are exposed. With the available information, we think we are facing a very interesting archaeological site with great interpretative possibilities.
