Abstract

Two species of the Caprini tribe, Hemitragus cedrensis and Capra caucasica, were identified in the top deposits of the Caune de l'Arago (Pyrénées-Orientales, France) Morphological and metrical analyses have shown how these two species evolved in this area. Owing to these results the Caune de l'Arago deposits can be correlated with the end of OIS 5 or the beginning of OIS 4 (corresponding to MNQ 25 and MNQ 26 biozones). The size reduction of these Caprinae, observed at the Caune de l'Arago and in two other sites, suggests a possible local evolution.
