Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 squad of international researchers led past times archaeologists Eduardo Méndez-Quintas in addition to Manuel Santonja, from the National Centre for Research on Human Evolution (CENIEH), are resuming their inquiry operate at the Gándaras de Budiño, historically the most of import Palaeolithic site inwards Galicia, alongside the fiscal back upwards of the Porriño Council in addition to inside the framework of the Minho/Miño inquiry project: Os primeros poboadores produce río Miño, which is beingness carried out simultaneously inwards Kingdom of Spain in addition to Portugal.

The initial written report determined that the site was close 26,000 years old, when it was expected to endure over 100,000 years old. This led to the determination that inwards the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula at that spot was an atypical in addition to anachronistic Palaeolithic inwards comparing to what was happening inwards the residual of southwestern Europe.
This declaration was used to defend the sentiment of "Galicia's cultural backwardness", which supposedly began inwards the Palaeolithic period. "Even inwards the textbooks, it was said that inwards Galicia at that spot was an extended Palaeolithic period", says Méndez-Quintas.
The electrical flow investigations accept had a completely unlike final result which contradicts the previous investigation.
"The results nosotros accept til directly were incorrect because they relied on carbon xiv dating, alongside which solely remains upwards to 50,000 years onetime tin endure dated. In cases similar this one, whose remains are older, the method is useless."
"We accept indications that it is fifty-fifty older than 300,000 years, only nosotros volition know until the investigation is over. This would become inwards the oldest site establish inwards Galicia, in addition to the oldest site to appointment is Porto Maior, located inwards As Neves. It was establish inwards 2005 past times conduct chances cheers to or in addition to then route industrial plant that left a department of its geological deposits visible."
"It is also of import inwards damage of its human relationship alongside the African Palaeolithic. Both because of the size of the tools establish (the normal size inwards Europe they produce non travel past times xv centimetres in addition to inwards this illustration quite a few pieces exceeded 18), in addition to because of the fact that they were deliberately stockpiled."
"Other of import sites inwards the surface area of Galicia include Arbo, which is 115,000 years old. But these are all really far from the sites of the Caves of Altamira (Cantabria) in addition to Orce (Granada), which appointment dorsum to a greater extent than than a ane 1000 m years", concludes Méndez-Quintas.
