Abstract


The archaeo-palaeontological survey carried out on a site located at Cerro de San Isidro (Madrid), because of a project of construction in that place, has led to the documentation of a small part of the ancient terrace which has almost totally disappeared as a result of quarrying. The study of the stratigraphic sequence, the recovery of several pieces of lithic industry, as well as pollen analyses, have allowed us to contribute new data to the already known “Terrace of San Isidro” that was known from the middle of the nineteenth century.
