This paper focuses on the study of some Middle Palaeolithic assemblages from Mediterranean Iberia to examine Neanderthal occupation patterns and territory management strategies, paying special attention to raw material procurement and technological behaviours, zooarchaeological data and microspatial patterning. The site occupation types are variable, and some of the results may have more importance than is immediately apparent, but there does not seem to be a single cultural, functional, temporal or environmental explanation. Rather, the wide variability in the technical behaviours observed can be explained with reference to the particular requirements of the populations in each specific region. The results obtained allow us to interrogate the data and, drawing comparisons with the southwest European context, establish an initial approach to Neanderthal subsistence strategies and mobility in a region so far little known in this regard.

本文重点研究地中海伊比利亚的一些旧石器时代中期的组合，以考察尼安德特人的占领模式和领土管理策略，特别关注原材料采购和技术行为、动物考古数据和微空间模式。场地占用类型是可变的，某些结果可能比直接显而易见的更重要，但似乎没有单一的文化、功能、时间或环境解释。相反，所观察到的技术行为的巨大差异可以根据每个特定区域人口的特定需求来解释。获得的结果使我们能够查询数据，并与欧洲西南部的情况进行比较，为迄今为止在这方面鲜为人知的地区的尼安德特人生存策略和流动性建立初步方法。
