Abstract
Cueva Oscura de Ania (Las Regueras, Asturias) is a site with Magdalenian and Azilian levels. Excavated between 7975 and 1980, most of its archaeological record has remained practically unpublished. The present paper presents the results of the study of Magdalenian bone and antler assemblage, one of the largest known for Cantabrian Magdalenian, with 309 items. The typological and technical analysis of this assemblage shows that there are at least two archaeological phases: Developed Middle Magdalenian and Middle Magdalenian/Upper Magdalenian transition or Lower Upper Magdalenian. These archaeological remains have a chronology between Bolling/Cantabrico VII and Dryas Il/Cantabrico VI paleoclimatological phases.

Summary
El registro arqueológico procedente de la cuenca del Nalón ocupa un lugar destacado en el conocimiento de los tecnocomplejos magdalenienses de la Cornisa Cantábrica (Figs. 1 y 2). A este listado de yacimientos debe sumarse el depósito Magdaleniense de Cueva Oscura de Ania (Las Regueras, Asturias), una cavidad de dimensiones modestas situada en la zona media de la cuenca del Nalón -en las proximidades de las cuevas de La Paloma; Sofoxó I y Mestas III - llamada a convertirse en punto de referencia para el conocimiento del Magdaleniense y el Aziliense en la comarca (Adán et al 1999: 229; 2001). Codirigidos por el propio Gómez Tabanera y Pérez Pérez entre 1975 y 1980 (1992: 625), documentaron un depósito arqueológico de potencia considerable (1) en el que se diferenciaron varios niveles de filiación aziliense y magdaleniense (Fig. 3).
