AB The archaeological site of Les Pedroses Cave and its parietal art have been studied and reappraised during the last three years. The cave was excavated in 1956 but the materials obtained remained unpublished. The information has been updated and the results have been correlated with the current excavation, allowing us allowed to contextualize much of the material from the 1956 excavations. The current excavations have determined sources of supply of flint and some of the marine and terrestrial food resources. This research has established an occupation sequence with Solutrean, Magdalenian and Mesolithic levels. These cultural horizons are found in nearby caves and are currently under investigation: Lloseta, Tito Bustillo, Cova Rosa or Cierru.
