Abstract

This text explains briefly the historiographical reasons for the territorial models applied since the mid -twentieth century to the Palaeolithic in Iberia oecumene still continue to distort our vision. The classic paradigm of living during the Upper Palaeolithic in a cavity located at low altitude has been replicated, although evidence proving their failure accumulate. The last fifteen years have provided a more plausible view of this scenario, but the authors miss a deep reflection on the employed concept of territoriality. We consider the lack of archaeological visibility is sometimes less related to the absence of database information, but with the epistemological filters under which we examined the record.
