The hunter-gatherer settlement of Cova Beneito
The Cova Beneito is currently a reference point for the study of hunter-gatherer societies in the Prehistory of the Iberian Mediterranean. Since its discovery until now, several studies have been carried out through archaeological, physical, geological and biological disciplines that have allowed us to reconstruct relevant aspects of the ways of life of the ancient occupants of the settlement.
