Seasonal hunting campsites provide a good picture about the movement of family-sized groups in coastal dune systems.

At the Monte Clérigo site, the presence of footprints attributed to, at least, one male adult, one child and one toddler, negotiating the steep slope of a dune, allow us to speculate about close proximity to the campsite.

Overprinting with large mammal tracks shows that the presence of Neanderthals in these environments was intentional even if seasonal, possibly searching for food opportunities provided by the potential prey reproductive cycles and taking benefits from ambush hunting or stalking prey in a rugged dune landscape.
