The far south: the Pleistocene–Holocene transition in Nerja Cave (Andalucı́a, Spain)
2002
Abstract The archaeological site of Cueva de Nerja (Malaga, Spain) provides significant data about the bioclimatic conditions of one of the most southern European temperate regions. The bioclimatic and palaeogeographic changes that have occurred during the 20,000 years of human occupation of the site can be analysed by relating the geodynamic processes, the palaeobotany and the palaeofauna recovered from its archaeological deposits.
Mediterranean monk seal hunting in the regional Epipalaeolithic of Southern Iberia. A study of the Nerja Cave site (Málaga, Spain)
2019
Abstract During the Late Glacial–Early Holocene transition Southern Iberia has an extensive record of Palaeolithic coastal sites, wich have been preserved due thanks to the morphology of the continental shelf. This is was a period with rapid palaeoclimatic oscillations and changes in sea level. However, the sites show an apparent continuity in technology and subsistence trends, although human groups made increasingly intense use of marine resources. In this paper we will focus on the study of Mediterranean seal remains from the Vestibulo hall of Cueva de Nerja (Malaga, Spain), unit NV4, dated 12,990–11,360 cal. BP. The presence of these bones at the site are interpreted as direct exploitati…
Llisses, orades i alguna anguila. L'ictiofauna mesolítica de les Coves de Santa Maira (Castell de Castells, La Marina Alta, Alacant)
2015
There are several marine remains throughout the Coves de Santa Maira archaeological sequence which are indicative of relationships with the coastal lowlands. We studied the Mesolithic remains of fish and molluscs species found so far. It is a small sample, but interesting because it has allowed us to analyze the areas of obtaining these marine resources and suggest any reflection on their significance within the techno-economic transformation processes of the later prehistoric foragers.
