Resum

The recent sedimentary record in the subtidal area of the inner Abra of Bilbao has been studied using 2 cores of 64 and 56 cm in length. General accumulation of materials shows mainly a muddy character with a moderate abundance of benthic foraminifera and a decrease in metal concentrations through time as a consequence of the local industrial history. However, an anomalous sandier, intermediate section has been identified and it is considered as resedimentation of preindustrial subtidal deposits (lower and variable concentrations of metals, absence of radioisotopes, and very abundant marine microfauna) as a result of the 1983 riverine flooding. This alerts on the possibility of remobilization of recent sediments (polluted and/or clean) in this environment due to natural and anthropogenic processes.
