Unexpected discovery
- When a one-billion-euro housing development project in Madrid unearthed footprints and stone artifacts dating back 26,000 years, the site was declared a BIC Asset of Cultural Interest, and construction was halted to preserve history first.
In a short period of time, a team of thirty people, including geologists, technicians, paleontologists, and restorers, ascertained that this future development project would sit on top of what turned out to be a unique site, on top of it. The company spearheading the housing project responded appropriately by alerting local archeologists. Upon closer investigation, they found stone relics also 26,000 years old leading archeologists to identify the site as a Pleistocene settlement.After surveying 2,000 square meters, or about half an acre, the paleosurface revealed that several rivers had merged here. Thus, animals and humans came to drink, which explains the presence of footprints.
