The new and more detailed magnetostratigraphic record of the Matuyama-Brunhes boundary, combined with absolute ages, enables further constraint on the age of the underlying human-bearing level or Aurora Stratum. Paleomagnetism of the studied silts and sandstones reveals stable, dual polarity Characteristic Remanent Magnetization directions. A new normal magnetic polarity short interval is found at several consecutive sampling localities in the upper part of TD7, providing a new ante quem date for the human-bearing sediments of 0.9 Ma, possibly formed during MIS 25.engjournal articlehttp://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-archaeological-science/open access569.89(460.182)550.38(460.182)Atapuerca Gran Dolina TD6HomininsGeochronologyPaleomagnetismPaleontología2416 Paleontología
