RESUMEN
El análisis de determinados depósitos de vertiente y rellenos de fondo de valle generados en épocas recientes, como se constata por dataciones arqueológicas, ofrecen información específica de las características ambientales en que se elaboraron. Del estudio de estas formas en el NE de España se pueden deducir cambios climáticos, que unidos en algunos casos, a la actividad humana, han determinado una alternancia de procesos de erosión-acumulación a lo largo del Post-glaciar.

ABSTRACT
The analysis of several hillside-waste and valley-floor deposits originating during recent times, as stated through archaeological data, reveals some information about the environmental features in which these deposits take place. The study of these morphologies in the North-East of Spain suggests some climatic changes. These changes, sometimes together with the anthropic action, are suggested as being responsible for the alternating erosion-accumulation processes during the Post-glacial age.
