The neolithic settlement of Limoneros (Elche, Alicante)
2020
[EN] This paper shows the results of rescue archaeology campaigns undertaken on the site of Limoneros, an open-air settlement located to the south of Elche (Alicante), in the alluvial plain of the Vinalopó river and dated on the first half of the 5th millennium cal BC. The settlement entails different negative structures, including two stretches of ditch, silos and basins, structures finally reused as a waste area. The analysis of the recovered evidences allows the characterization of the activities developed by a farming community in a territory articulated by the river Vinalopó, where other settlements dated back to the same period have been documented. Therefore, Limoneros supplies relev…
The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years
2019
We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect of the Iberian Peninsula. We document high genetic substructure between northwestern and southeastern hunter-gatherers before the spread of farming. We reveal sporadic contacts between Iberia and North Africa by ~2500 BCE and, by ~2000 BCE, the replacement of 40% of Iberia's ancestry and nearly 100% of its Y-chromosomes by people with Steppe ancestry. We show that, in the Iron Age, Steppe ancestry had spread not only into Indo-European-speaking regions but also into non-Indo-European-speaking ones, and we reveal that pre…

Ten millennia of hepatitis B virus evolution
2021
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been infecting humans for millennia and remains a global health problem, but its past diversity and dispersal routes are largely unknown. We generated HBV genomic data from 137 Eurasians and Native Americans dated between ~10,500 and ~400 years ago. We date the most recent common ancestor of all HBV lineages to between ~20,000 and 12,000 years ago, with the virus present in European and South American hunter-gatherers during the early Holocene. After the European Neolithic transition, Mesolithic HBV strains were replaced by a lineage likely disseminated by early farmers that prevailed throughout western Eurasia for ~4000 years, declining around the end of the 2nd…
La primera ocupación neolítica de la Cova d’En Pardo (Planes, Alicante). Avance de estudio pluridisciplinar de los niveles VIII y VIIIb
2014
Se presentan los resultados de las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en la Cova d’En Pardo (Planes, Alicante), concretamente los niveles VIII y VIIIb. El desarrollo de un proyecto multidisciplinar ha permitido caracterizar la ocupación de una pequeña cavidad por parte de las primeras comunidades campesinas asociadas al inicio del proceso de neolitización del levante de la Península Ibérica.
La ocupación campaniforme de El Arsenal (Elche, Alicante)
2020
En este trabajo se presentan los resultados relacionados con los niveles prehistóricos documentados durante la excavación de urgencia desarrollada en la finca de El Arsenal (Elche, Alicante). Durante esta intervención se documentó una estructura de carácter doméstico a la cual se asociaban un conjunto de estructuras subsidiarias, así como diferentes artefactos que permiten definir las características de una unidad doméstica de cronología campaniforme, así como las relaciones mantenidas con su entorno más inmediato. Este conjunto de evidencias permite caracterizar, por primera vez, a las comunidades humanas asentadas en el Bajo Vinalopó a mediados del III milenio cal BC a partir de sólidas b…
Sobre el primer horizonte neolítico en la Cova d'En Pardo (Planes, Alicante)
2011
Se valora el componente cerámico de los niveles adscritos al Neolítico antiguo de esta cavidad. Las características de algunos de sus materiales, así como algunas de las dataciones obtenidas, permiten incorporar este yacimiento al debate actual sobre la implantación de las primeras comunidades neolíticas en el Mediteráneo peninsular.
