Abstract
From the results obtained we verify that the conjectural late Roman form *situlone, linked to the water, prove the El Sidrón place name, and show that a Neandertal group cannibalised other group make up at least by 13 individuals linked and the fossil remains and the lithic artefacts used were settled in some passage or upper gallery of the karstic system. Few time after the cannibalisation, a high energy process have introduced very quickly those remains being captured in the speleothems of a little gallery. 49 000 years BP ago some classic Neandertals wandered through the actually named concejo of Piloña offering a really interesting information, someone pioneer, in different palaeobiological, paleogenomic, and cultural matters, that offers a more complex and updated vision of that specie. Somebody were redhead, they lived in a smoky atmosphere, they medicate, they have congenital anomalies, they were 1,64 m tall in average, they had a mixed meat and vegetal diet, knap their artefacts with a local flint and, among many other things, they hybridize with Homo sapiens in the Near East.
