Table 5. Summary of archaeological sites in terraces and their elevations (>30 m) related to archaeological assemblages or single potential artefacts of the Iberian fluvial basins dating roughly in the end of Early-Middle Pleistocene Transition (0.78–0.5 Ma).

In this summary we note scarce representation of pebble and core artefact assemblages. These terrace systems contains, in the lower and middle elevations (<30 m), the archaeological sites of Middle Pleistocene age with LCT artefact assemblages of Iberian Peninsula record (various sources) dating to ∼<500 kyrs described in the right column of the table.
