Where: Spain (42.2° N, 2.7° E: paleocoordinates 42.2° N, 2.8° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• The Late Mousterian level (level I) presents a minimum average thickness of 60 cm. Calibration of the 14C dates using the OxCal 4.1.7 software (Bronk Ramsey, 1995) yielded a value of 45,840–41,410 cal BP (Wood et al., 2014).

• bed-level stratigraphic resolution

Environment/lithology: cave; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils

• Level I of the Arbreda sequence demonstrates typical Mousterian industry oriented to flake production mostly from Llevalois and discoidal cores.

Collection methods: quarrying, sieve
