During the campaigns in Cueva Victoria in 2009, 2010 and 2011, the installation of a scaffold allowed a precise excavation of in situ material. The excavation was performed in two locations at the top of the fossiliferous breccia with an exceptional accumulation of fossil remains, with densities of up to 854 bones/m3.

Cueva Victoria is a karst-infilling site with early Pleistocene vertebrate fossil remains. It was discovered in the first half of the XXth century by mining explotation. The fossil record of Cueva Victoria is exceptional because of its large biodiversity and because it is the only locality in Europe where the African primate Theropithecus oswaldi occurs. Here, we summarize the history of paleontological research and excavation campaigns. We provide a catalogue of the different locations in the site, and a reference list of the publications on this site.
