Resumen: The age of Neanderthal remains and associated sediments from El Sidron cave has been
obtained through different dating methods (14CAMS, U/TH, OSL, ESR and AAR) and samples
(charcoal debris, bone, tooth dentine, stalagmitic flowstone, carbonate-rich sediments, sedimentary
quartz grains, tooth enamel and land snail shells). Detrital Th contamination rendered
Th/U dating analyses of flowstone unreliable. Recent 14C contamination produced
spurious age-values from charcoal samples as well as from inadequately pretreated tooth
samples. Most consistent 14C dates are grou...
