Recent examination of materials from the pre‐neolithic (C14 age 7004±165 B.P.‐8909±185B.P.) Asturian occupations of Cantabrian Spain indicates exploitation of two major bodies of animal resources: (1) mammals especially woodland and forest‐edge adapted ungulates (with a secondary concentration on alpine forms) and (2) marine molluscs, with intensive selection for limpets and topshell, littoral species from the intertidal zone. The pattern of site location seems optimal for collection of coastal, forest, and montane resources with a minimum of effort, The composition of shellfish assemblages from the sites suggests that the Asturian occupation witnessed a climatic regimen somewhat warmer than that today.
