Abstract


This paper presents a general account of a research project that has been carried on since 1996 for the investigation, preservation and social use of the Archaeological District of La Garma (Cantabria, Spain). Special emphasis is placed on the problems involved in the conservation of the surface archaeological remains and the Palaeolithic rock art of the Galería Inferior. Subsequently, the role of La Garma inside its local socio-economic context is evaluated. Finally, the possibilities and limitations of public use of the La Garma area are also discussed.
