Resumen

In this work is described a microvertebrate assemblage from the Upper Pleistocene site of Antoliñako Koba. There are four stratigraphical units, the age of the younger one is 10220±40 B.P. while the oldest one is 29.990±230 B.P. The microvertebrate fossil assemblage is represented by 13 micromammal species, 4 reptilians and 3 amphibians. The temperature and the humidity variations estimated on the basis of the micromammal assemblage of Antoliñako Koba is very similar to that inferred from other sites. The levels with low taxonomic diversity correspond to the most temperate periods, whereas higher diversity occurs in levels corresponding to cooler periods. This difference could be caused by the predator that produced the microvertebrate bone accumulation.
