Abstract

The study of the small mammals from the uppermost layers (ca. 3695-4414 cal BP) from Arenaza I Cave (Galdames, Bizkaia) is reported in this paper. Even if the archaeological works were carried out between 1991 and 1993, the sediment has been recovered from the provincial deposit. A total of 14 species have been identified, nine belonging to the Order Rodentia and five to Order Eulipotyphla. Palaeoecological data obtained for the three layers indicate a clear predominance of forest, being the layer 9 where it was most extended. Therefore it was probably at that time when the most humid conditions and mild temperatures took place.
