Geochemical (elemental analysis, molecular analysis of organic compounds), mineralogical, palynological and sedimentary facies analysis were performed to characterize the sedimentary record in Fuentillejo maar lake in the Campo de Calatrava Volcanic Field (CCVF). In this work we characterize 6 major sedimentary units units (units 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23) which represent the upper 29 m of FU-1 core. These sedimentary units point out variations in clasticinput, water chemistry, vegetation and organic fraction sources in the lake throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Theseresults permit to identify arid-humid phases, lake level and their variations over time providing evidences for the reconstruction of the environmental and climatic events of central Spain.
