The earliest archaeological research on the Palaeolithic of the Minho River Basin (NW Iberia) took place in the first half of the 20th century. At the same time, geomorphological studies were developed in the region allowing the connection between lithic artefacts and fluvial terraces. In the second half of this century the studies on the Palaeolithic occurred mainly in Galicia, while in Portugal they were short-term and focused on geographically confined areas. From 2010 onwards, also in Galicia, a research project was developed which enabled the detection of new archaeological sites and their absolute dating, assigning them to the Middle Pleistocene. The development of the Miño-Minho project, whose first results are now presented, had as its main objective to carry on in the Portuguese bank the research initiated in the neighboring country.
