A total of 270 Middle Palaeolithic sites are recorded in the Portuguese Archaeology Archive. However, only a few were systematically excavated, present valuable archaeological information and show reliable absolute date results. Amongst them, 13 archaeological sites yielded animal remains, but most of these assemblages are of indeterminate origin, or due to natural or carnivore accumulations. Therefore, only three sites have faunal assemblages produced by hominin activity: Gruta Nova da Columbeira, Gruta da Figueira Brava and Gruta da Oliveira. The last two caves are the ones currently being studied for a funded research project conducted in UCL Institute of Archaeology, therefore, providing substantial information on Neanderthal subsistence and palaeoenvironment in Portugal.

葡萄牙的尼安德特人生存：有什么证据？

葡萄牙考古档案馆共记录了270个中古石器时代遗址。然而，只有少数人被系统地发掘，提供了有价值的考古信息并显示出可靠的绝对日期结果。其中，有13个考古遗址产生了动物遗骸，但这些组合大多数是不确定的起源，或者是由于自然或食肉动物的积累。因此，只有三个地点的人为生物活动产生了动物群：古鲁塔新星哥伦贝拉，古鲁塔菲盖拉布拉瓦和古鲁塔奥利维拉。最后两个洞穴是目前正在UCL考古研究所进行的一项资助研究项目中正在研究的那些洞穴，因此，它们提供了有关葡萄牙的尼安德特人生存和古环境的大量信息。
