Explotació dels mamífers i economia de les darreres comunitats caçadores-recol·lectores del vessant mediterrani ibèric durant la transició Tardiglaci…

En el presente trabajo se realiza el estudio zooarqueológico de los vertebrados terrestres explotados por los grupos humanos de los niveles tardiglaciares de los yacimientos de Santa Maira (boca Oeste) y Nerja (sala del Vestíbulo). A partir de los datos obtenidos para las facies culturales Magdaleniense / Epipaleolítico / Mesolítico se caracterizan las tendencias de cambio en los modelos económicos de las últimas comunidades cazadoras-recolectoras de la península ibérica. Estas secuencias se contextualizan así mismo en la zona biogeográfica mediterránea peninsular. Entre los resultados obtenidos cabe destacar la definición y caracterización de un modelo económico "tardiglaciar", donde el mo…
Pots, plants and animals: Broad-spectrum subsistence strategies in the Early Neolithic of the Moroccan Rif region
2019
Abstract The transition from hunter-gathering to food-producing societies in the Mediterranean zone of north Africa was complex and variable, likely influenced by local ecological conditions as well as the socio-economic origins of the population. The adoption of domestic plants and animals was piecemeal, with hunting and gathering continuing as an important part of local subsistence strategies. Here, we investigate the timing and extent of the adoption of agricultural practices, namely herding and cultivation, in three diverse coastal and inland Early Neolithic sites in the Mediterranean Maghreb region, namely Ifri Oudadane, Ifri n’Etsedda and Hassi Ouenzga. Results from absorbed lipid res…
Cordage, basketry and containers at the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary in southwest Europe. Evidence from Coves de Santa Maira (Valencian region, Spai…
2019
In this study we present evidence of braided plant fibres and basketry imprints on clay recovered from Coves de Santa Maira, a Palaeolithic-Mesolithic cave site located in the Mediterranean region of Spain. The anatomical features of these organic fibre remains were identified in the archaeological material and compared with modern Stipa tenacissima (esparto grass). Based on direct dating, the fragments of esparto cord from our site are the oldest worked plant fibres in Europe. Sixty fragments of fired clay are described. The clay impressions have allowed us to discuss the making of baskets and containers. According to their attributes and their functional interpretation, we have grouped th…
I resti scheletrici della grotta di S. Teodoro presso il Museo Gemmellaro di Palermo: il nuovo restauro conservativo di ST2
2013
The work describes the restoration of the cranium ST2 of the Epipalaeolithic site of S. Teodoro, Sicily. This restoration has been conducted in accordance to modern criteria of conservation limiting the integrative and reconstructive interpretation to the minimum. After the restauration ST2 has been morphologically described and measured. The fortuitous recovery of a left incus bone allowed its morphological and metrical description.
