The Middle Palaeolithic industries in Guadalquivir and Guadaíra River’s valleys (Southern of Spain) are found in 28 archaeological assemblages. The variability of industries, archaeological sites and technological strategies might interpret the Guadaira-Guadalquivir River landscape connection as a regional hominid corridor with a multifunctional character. It is developed from late MIS6 along the Upper Pleistocene. Two episodes are identified, each one with a lithic assemblage1) series in quartzite with major predominance of notches and scrapers and absence of bifacial tools (>110 ky); 2) series of high diversity of tools on flake, with a Levallois technology weakly developed and a presence of bifacial tools (<110 ky), all these in quartzite and flint (lacustrine-palustrine facies and floodplains the alluvial sediments) or in flint (karst fillings).
