The study of the faunal and lithic assemblage (including almost a hundred human fossil remains) recovered from the Aurora stratum-TD6 level of the Lower Pleistocene cave site of Gran Dolina (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain) has allowed us to answer some important questions concerning the debate about the earliest evidence for human occupation of Europe. However, it has also started new discussions about some geographical, ecological, and economic aspects of this earliest occupation. The nature (definitive or ephemeral) of the first occupation, as well as the model for the arrival of the Acheulean (Mode 2) in Europe are also issues for discussion.
对从西班牙阿塔普埃尔卡山脉格兰多利纳下更新世洞穴遗址奥罗拉地层TD6层出土的动物群和石器组合(包括近百具人类化石残骸)进行的研究,使我们能够回答一些有关欧洲最早人类居住证据辩论的重要问题。然而,它也引发了关于这一最早居住的一些地理、生态和经济方面的新讨论。首次居住的性质(确定的还是短暂的)以及阿舍利文化(模式2)在欧洲出现的模式也是有待讨论的问题。
