Abstract
We approach the study, in context of a portable item for personal adornment. The item consists of a perforated and polished pendant on a support of microcrystalline limestone which has been selected for its physical characteristics. It was discovered in association with rich lithic deposits of Mode 4 with Solutrean morphotypes and fauna in this unique site in the upper basin of the Guadalete River and in relation with other outdoor settlements in the countryside and karst landscapes of Western Andalusia. This new location gives way to new perspectives in the study of the Upper Palaeolithic in the region, as it involves evidence at the foot of the Guadalete valley, in the form of an almost unaltered outdoor settlement having been found mostly sealed by hillside deposits.
