Ambrona

The Lower Paleolithic site of Ambrona is located 150 kilometers northeast of Madrid, Spain in the province of Soria, on a lakeside. The site was probably inhabited from the end of the Mindel or Elster glacial period, 300,000 to 400,000 years ago. Marques de Cerralbo first discovered Ambrona before World War I. Ambrona was more extensively searched during the 1960s. The most recent workers to excavate the site were Howell, Aguirre, Butzer, and Freeman.
