ResumoA new geomorphological and structural cave survey, as well as a sedimentological and stratigraphic analysis of clastic cave sediments and local post-Jurassic siliciclastic covers, was performed at the Buraca Escura archaeological site (Poio Novo valley, Sicó Massif, western–central Portugal). Provenance and endokarstic transport were investigated by examining clastic cave sediments and making comparisons with new and published data on the siliciclastic regional covers. A framework for speleogenesis, beginning during the Late Cretaceous–Miocene, is established.
