The study of the remains found in the Font d'Horta shelter (Vilafranca, Castellón), carried out by the GenT programme researcher Dídac Román of the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló and the researcher Inés Domingo of the Universitat de Barcelona, has concluded that it was a settlement of one of the last hunter-gatherer populations that inhabited the Iberian Mediterranean, as explained in the article published in issue 73 of the journal *Munibe Antropologia-Arkeologia*.

The Font d'Horta shelter is a small cavity about three metres long and two metres deep located on the right bank of the ravine that gives it its name, more than 1,200 metres above sea level in the municipality of Vilafranca, which, due to its location on a long cliff, could form part of a larger cavity. The site was discovered in 2016 and in 2017 excavation work was carried out, which led to the recovery of 451 elements: 437 lithic industry remains, 10 faunal remains, 3 hanging ornaments and a dye.
