Linares (Jaén), Spain

The claw of this bear was located in the area of the Alba Tower sanctuary, in a votive context with other elements deposited in the place as sacred offerings.

The presence of brown bear in Andalusia is confirmed until modern times, in the mid-seventeenth century, placing its definitive extinction throughout the nineteenth century.
