Abstract
A small collection of rodents from Sima de los Huesos helps to clarify the stratigraphic position of this famous human locality. The presenc e of Allocricetus bursae and Pliomys lenki relictus and the size of A. bursae, Apodemus sylvaticus and Eliomys quericinus suggest a Middle P leistocene age (Saalian) to the Clays where humans have been found.
