The Azilian man from Los Azules Cave I (Cangas de Onis,Oviedo, Spain)

The author analyzes in this study the human skeleton found in the Azilian Grave of Los Azules Cave I (Asturias, NW of Spain), dated by C-14 between 7480 and 7590 B. C. It was diagnosed as an adult male, having a general strong robustness and high stature, as well as a congenital fusion of the right talus bones and, probably, bilateral claw foot. The comparison to the last Upper Paleolithic, the Epipaleolithic and the Mesolithic Human remains from Western Europe showed the similarity of Los Azules I Man to the robust Cromagnoids from these periods.
