Abstract
Last 30 years, the fi rst foothills of the Southern Pyrenees have become a privileged place to analyze the Neanderthal settlement in the Iberian Peninsula. Beside the current number of caves and rock shelters attributed to Middle Paleolithic located in the Marginal/Exterior Sierras of Lleida and Huesca; it should be added the new site of Abric Pizarro. This deposit was located in 2009 in a marginal valley of the Aspres de la Noguera. The fi eldwork aff ected around 20 m2 allows identifying two archeological levels –M and P- that preserve abundant and well preserved lithic and bone assemblages. Preliminary chronometric data ascribe these occupations at the MIS 4/start MIS 3. This temporal span is relevant to characterize the Neanderthals that lived at the Southeastern Pyrenees.
