[ES] Higueral de Motillas es una m?s de las cavidades que se encuentran en el extremo occidental de la pen?nsula Ib?rica (C?diz,Espa?a), adscrita en criterios normativos al tecnocomplejo llamado Solutrense Superior. Aqu? presentamos un avance del estudio tafon?mico ele los restos faun?stico documentados en la cavidad (881) que pertenecen principalmente a los siguientes taxones: Cervus elaphus, Dama dama,Capra ibex, Capreolus capreolus, Bosprimigenios, Oryctolagus cuniculus; presentes en menor frecuencia Sus scrofa, Canis lupus, Alectoris rufa. Los restos osteol?gicos presentan claras evidencias de alteraciones tafon?micas (procesos bioestratin?micos y fosildiagen?ticos). El an?lisis ha permitido cuantificar dichas evidencias y sobre todo reconstruir la cadena operativa de la carcasa del procesamiento del esqueleto animal por parte de los grupos de cazadores-recolectores.

[EN] Higueral de Motillas is one the numerous caves situated in the extreme western part of Iberian peninsula (Cadiz-Spain); it is included in the technological complex named ?upper solutrean?. This paper deals with the exposition of taphonomic study results of all the faunal remains (881) documented in the cave and mainly belonging to the following taxa: Cervus elaphus, Dama dama, Capra ibex, Capreolus capreolus, Bos primigenius, Oryctolagus cuniculus. Also represented, but with a lower frequency, are the following taxa: Sus scrofa, Canis lupus, Alectoris rufa. Bone remains present clear evidences of taphonomic alterations related to biostratinomic and fossildiagenetic processes. The analysis has permitted to calculate the amount of these alterations, to reconstruct the operative chain of carcass exploitation by hunter-gatherer groups.
