    We present a Neanderthal maxilla (CF-1) from Cova ForadĂ  site (Oliva, Valencia, Spain) with periodontal disease and evidence of attempts to alleviate pain with the use of a toothpick. Two interproximal grooves have been found on the distal surfaces of the upper left Pm(3) and M(1) of CF-1 maxilla. The location, morphology and size of the grooves coincide with other interproximal grooves found on the teeth of other fossil specimens. Heavy dental wear and periodontal disease would have caused the Cova ForadĂ  Neanderthal specimen pain and discomfort, which the individual attempted to mitigate using some kind of dental probe

    New radiometric dates for the Prehistory of Northwestern Iberia: Valdavara Cave (BecerreĂĄ, Lugo)

    The goal of this paper is to make known the first results of the excavations in Valdavara Cave (BecerreĂĄ, Lugo), paying special attention to the radiometric dating that places this cave among the few Galician sites with Upper Palaeolithic dates. During the excavation carried out in 2007, two archaeological locations were documented in the same karstic system (Valdavara 1 and Valdavara 2). The test pit initiated in Valdavara 1 allowed us to identify so far two stratigraphic units: an upper unit corresponding to Recent Prehistory and a lower unit (level 4) that yielded the Upper Palaeolithic dates. An assemblage of human remains from the Bronze Age was found in Valdavara 2.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;El objetivo de este artĂ­culo es dar a conocer los primeros resultados de las excavaciones en la cueva de Valdavara (BecerreĂĄ, Lugo), prestando especial atenciĂłn a las dataciones radiomĂ©tricas que la sitĂșan entre los pocos yacimientos gallegos que han arrojado fechas correspondientes al PaleolĂ­tico Superior. La excavaciĂłn realizada en el año 2007 permitiĂł documentar dos localizaciones arqueolĂłgicas en el marco del mismo sistema cĂĄrstico (Valdavara 1 y Valdavara 2). El sondeo iniciado en Valdavara 1 ha permitido identificar hasta el momento dos conjuntos estratigrĂĄficos: un conjunto superior correspondiente a la Prehistoria reciente y un conjunto inferior (nivel 4) en el que se han obtenido las fechas del PaleolĂ­tico Superior final. En Valdavara 2 se encontrĂł un conjunto de restos humanos de la Edad del Bronce
