Cleaning works in the cave of Las Palomas in Teba (Málaga, Spain), developed by the Guadalteba
Consortium, have provided a number of lithic tools and knapping products that may be ascribed to the
Mode III technotypological tradition as well as remains of a number of large mammal species typical of
MiddleeLate Pleistocene times. Topographic measurements help to place this ancient cave within a karst
landform. This discovery opens up new perspectives in the research on the Neanderthal groups that
inhabited the valleys of Guadalteba and Turón rivers in the middle basin of the Guadalhorce River, and
thus in the southern region of the Iberian Peninsula.
