The railway cutting

Monument · Atapuerca, Burgos (Alfoz), Burgos

Image of Atapuerca, not of the place itself.

At the end of the nineteenth century the cutting for a mining line sliced through the sierra and laid bare the fill of several caves. From that cutting came the Gran Dolina, the Galería and the Sima del Elefante, today a protected archaeological zone.
