MERCÈ BERGADÀ ZAPATA
Professor at the University of Barcelona since 2003 in the Department of Prehistory, Ancient History and Archaeology. She has received several awards for her doctoral thesis, such as the Diploma de Menció de Doctor Europeu and the Premi Extraordinari de Doctorat de la Universitat de Barcelona, among others.
He is currently participating in the micromorphology section of the projects "The end of the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic in the central region of the Iberian Mediterranean" and "Human occupation and its interrelation with the environment in the NE peninsular during the final Upper Pleistocene and early Holocene", financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
STRATIGRAPHY OF THE COVA BENEITO: SEDIMENTARY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL TRACES
The conference will present the results of the sedimentary and palaeoenvironmental studies of the site, specifically those obtained during the latest archaeological interventions.
From the analysis, it can be seen that, in general, the environmental conditions are cool with solifluvial-type colluvial episodes alternating with other erosive ones and with important backward movements of the abric visor, data that correlate with other archaeological sites of the same chronology on the Mediterranean side of the Iberian Peninsula.
