Abstract
Since 1998 an activity of innovative teaching is done around a palaeontological fossil site in the Campus of Somosaguas of the Complutense University of Madrid (Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid). The peculiar characteristics of accessibility, palaeontological richness, and high original fragmentation of the fossil bones make adequate this fossil site as a place for students’ practices in excavation and as an introduction to scientifical research. This work show too, some considerations on the experiences with different collectives of people with functional diversity, both physical and psychical, as applications in a new field for Palaeontology, which constitutes what we have called “Social Palaeontology”.
