Abstract
Se realiza el estudio de los micromamíferos del yacimiento de Valdocarros, que se localiza en la unidad de Arganda II de la Terraza Compleja de Arganda, en el valle del Jarama (Madrid), y del yacimiento de HAT, que está en la unidad de Arganda IV. Las asociaciones de micromamíferos determinadas en este trabajo en dichos yacimientos son las siguientes: en Valdocarros: erinaceomorfos: Erinaceus europaeus; soricomorfos: Crocidura aff. russula; roedores: Eliomys quercinus, Castor fiber, Apodemus sp., Cricetulus (Allocricetus) bursae, Arvicola aff. sapidus y Microtus brecciensis; y lagomorfos: Oryctolagus cuniculus; y en HAT: soricomorfos: Soricidae indet.; roedores: Eliomys quercinus, Apodemus sp., Arvicola aff. sapidus y Microtus cf. cabrerae; y lagomorfos: cf. Oryctolagus sp. La asociación del yacimiento de Valdocarros, por su composición y por el estadio evolutivo de Microtus brecciensis, se sitúa en el Pleistoceno Medio avanzado pero no final. La presencia de Microtus cf. cabrerae en el yacimiento de HAT hace que se adscriba al Pleistoceno Superior. Ambas asociaciones indican unas condiciones paleoambientales de clima templado y un buen desarrollo de la cobertura vegetal con zonas boscosas y zonas abiertas con vegetación arbustiva, ribereña y praderas.
We study the micromammals from the sites of Valdocarros and HAT, located in the lithostratigraphic unit of Arganda II and IV respectively, within the Arganda Complex Terrace, in the Jarama Valley (Madrid, Spain). The micromammal associations of these sites consist of the following taxa: in Valdocarros: Erinaceomorpha: Erinaceus europaeus; Soricomorpha: Crocidura aff. russula; Rodentia: Eliomys quercinus, Castor fiber, Apodemus sp., Cricetulus (Allocricetus) bursae, Arvicola aff. sapidus and Microtus brecciensis; and Lagomorpha: Oryctolagus cuniculus; and in HAT: Soricomorpha: Soricidae indet.; Rodentia: Eliomys quercinus, Apodemus sp., Arvicola aff. sapidus and Microtus cf. cabrerae; and Lagomorpha: cf. Oryctolagus sp. The micromammal assemblage of the Valdocarros site can be placed in the advanced Middle Pleistocene, but not in its end, because of the faunal association and the evolved state of Microtus brecciensis. However, in HAT, the presence of Microtus cf. cabrerae suggests that this site belongs to the Late Pleistocene. Both micromammal assemblages indicate a temperate climate and a well developed vegetation cover, consisting of some forest and also open areas, with shrub-like vegetation and also meadow and riverside vegetation.
