Grassland phases at Carihuela
Palaeoartistic approximation of grassland phases at Carihuela, likely corresponding to parts of Units X, VIIb, VI, and IV, within the MIS 5–MIS 3 interval. Grazing pressure is assumed to have been high, consistent with the presence of vertebrate remains (e.g., Bos, Cervus, Equus). Water-table-associated flora on the river margins. See Supplementary Information for taxonomic details and Section 4.3 for data and interpretations (Carrión, 1992; Carrión et al., 2019b). Artwork: G. and A. Amorós.
