Resum

This paper reports the discovery of two human skeletons dated to the Mesolithic, found in La Braña-Arintero cave, located on the southern slope of the Cantabrian Cordillera. The skeleton Braña-1 was found lying in a flexed left lateral decubitus position, whilst the second, Braña-2, showed no anatomical connection, possibly due to post depositional processes. One individual (Braña-1) presents evidence of various trauma among which a consolidated fracture of the right maxilla (maxillary sinus) and zygomatic process. Other relevant features of the skeletal remains are also described, such as the presence of a significant torus mandibularis, or the joint facets of the knees and ankles, interpreted as the result of spending considerable time in a kneeling or squatting position. Significant wear without decay is observed in the anterior teeth. Both skeletons belong to males of medium height and slender build but with evidence of robust muscle insertion.
