Abstract

La diversificación de la subsistencia -su potencial- en periodos anteriores al Paleolítico superior ha configurado durante los últimos 40 años uno de los principales temas de discusión prehistórica en Europa. En medio de este debate, la Cova del Bolomor, con una cronología de entre 350 y 100 mil años antes del presente, surge como una de las evidencias más claras y antiguas del consumo sistemático de pequeños animales (e.g., lagomorfos, aves, tortugas) por homínidos anteriores a Homo sapiens. Los datos de Bolomor plantean la necesidad de reconsiderar aspectos e interrelacionar factores para explicar la diversificación de esta subsistencia en momentos anteriores al Paleolítico superior. En este estudio, presentamos los datos zooarqueológicos procedentes de tres niveles de la secuencia estratigráfica de Bolomor (XVII, XI y IV) con el objetivo de aportar una visión diacrónica de la dieta cárnica en este enclave. Los datos proporcionados por Bolomor permiten plantear que los cambios en la dieta humana no fueron lineales en el tiempo y en el espacio, sino que probablemente estuvieron condicionados por múltiples factores, en los que el patrón ocupacional, la diversidad del comportamiento y de forma significativa, las características medioambientales locales desempeñaron un papel importante.
