Abstract
The location of the sedimentan' deposit in Caamaño. a small bay. has favoured the accumulation of material since at least 36.000 BC. Its formalion. which is related to a small preferential área for accumulation. has allowed a detailed continental sedimentary record to be preserved. This deposit. today an active cliff. is a highly valuable palaeoenvironmental record that contains a number of erosive-cumulative processes, represented by colluvial layers. which can be correlated with a number of Heinrich events idemified in marine sediment cores from the North Atlantic.
