Zusammenfassung

The Urtiaga cave is an archaeological site with a record from the Solutrean to the Azilian periods. At the site, there are numerous remains of molluscs accumulated, both marines and continentals. The presence of marine gastropods is associated to human consume. In this work the association of continental gastropods is presented, which is constituted by the species Xerosecta arigonis, Oxychilus sp., Discus rotundatus, Clausilia bidentata, Obscurella obscurum, Granaria braunii, Chondrina avenacea and Pomatias elegans. Given its small size, the hypothesis that these gastropods were accumulated as foodstuff is discarded. All species represented in the site are indicatives of humid and wooded zones. This fact would explain that the richest and most diverse levels coincide with the humid and warm moment of the Azilian.
