This paper presents the results of the forensic anthropological study of human bone remains found in a cave in the area of Pedrafita do Cebreiro (Lugo, Galicia, Spain). The remains correspond to a young adult woman (20-40 years) and an estimated size between 150 and 152 centimeters that was killed by fall in a dolina about 10,000 years ago. The pathology of the bones is also analyzed, indicating, on the one hand, nutritional stress, some signs of osteoarthritis and other traumatic brain injury that did not cause the individual’s death.
