El Pendo
Situated in the village of Escobedo de Camargo, near the present-day Bay of Santander, Cueva del Pendo is one of the classic Upper Paleolithic sites in the Cantabrian region. Its impressive archaeological deposit was dug by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola at the end of the 19th Century, and archaeological digs have succeeded since then until the present time. Some of the more important digs were carried out by Jesús Carballo in the 1920s and 30s, when a magnificent collection of decorated bone and antler artifacts were recovered. These were of Magdalenian age, above all of the late Magdalenian, between 14,000 and 11,500 BP. Other important digs were carried out in the 1950s, and published some time later by J. González Echegaray.
