Abstract

The Guadix Basin (Betic Cordillera, S Spain) is the ideal scenario to study the auto- and allogenic processes controlling continental sedimentation in hydrologically closed-basins. The extension and the lateral and vertical continuity of the outcrops, together with abundant archaeological and palaeontological sites in the area, have allowed the interpretation of the evolution of the basin throughout the last 4 Ma and the factors controlling it. These studies become much more important due to their relation to the characterisation of palaeoenvironments inhabited by the first European hominins. In this work, we present a synthesis of the most significative stratigraphical, sedimentological, petrological and palaeoclimatic studies developed in the Guadix Basin in the last decade, and updated results regarding the allogenic factors that controlled the continental sedimentation in the basin.
