In this paper an ethnoarchaeological study is presented, focused on the refinement of the diagnosis of human behaviour on carcass processing and on the multiple ways of bone modification by post-ravaging carnivores. It is pretended to know the spatial distribution patterns of determined human activities (carcass processing, places of meat and marrow consumption), the biases introduced by the intervention of other nonhuman agencies, and the way that such overlapping processes can be recognised in the archaeological record. The aim is to analyse the material traces of all these factors and to improve the referential framework with which Paleolithic sites must be understood and accounted for.
