Enterramientos prehistóricos en fosa en el entorno megalítico de Los Molares (margen izquierda de la cuenca del Bajo Guadalquivir)
2020
El artículo presenta nuevos datos procedentes de excavaciones recientes en Los Molares (provincia de Sevilla), en el entorno próximo de los dólmenes de El Palomar y Cañada Real. Los datos fueron obtenidos durante los trabajos arqueológicos previos a la urbanización de la finca de El Palomar, localizándose varias fosas rellenas con materiales prehistóricos, tres de ellas con restos humanos. Se presentan sus contextos arqueológicos y restos recuperados, así como los resultados de los análisis radiocarbónicos efectuados. Se realiza una discusión sobre las implicaciones de estos nuevos hallazgos en relación con el entorno megalítico conocido y con el registro funerario del IV milenio cal BC en …
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…
New Insights into the Provenance of the Obsidian Fragments of the Island of Ustica (Palermo, Sicily)
2017
In this study we applied a multidisciplinary approach, coupling geophysical and geochemical measurements, to unveil the provenance of 170 obsidian flakes, collected on the volcanic island of Ustica (Sicily). On this island there are some prehistoric settlements dated from the Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age. Despite not having geological outcrops of obsidian rocks, the countryside of Ustica is rich in fragments of this volcanic glass, imported from other source areas. The study of obsidian findings was carried out first through visual observations and density measurements. At least two different obsidian families have been distinguished, probably imported from Lipari and Pantelleria isla…
Ocupaciones prehistóricas del barranco de Olula (Almansa, Albacete): Estudio de los registros líticos de superficie
2002
La industria lítica proveniente de los registros de superficie localizados en el Barranco de Olula (Almansa), permite plantear en esta zona la existencia de ocupaciones al aire libre anteriores a la Edad del Bronce. Se presenta la documentación valorando de forma crítica los problemas del registro del que proceden. Por último, se contextualiza esta información en al marco del poblamiento de la Prehistoria Reciente del Corredor Almansa-Vinalopó y de otras áreas próximas. The lithic industry came from archaeological surface surveys located in the Olula River (Almansa), allows to raise the evidence of open area occupations previous to the Bronze Age in this zone. The documentation valuing of c…
Chronologie et périodisation des campaniformes en France méditerranéenne
2012
What is the current state of research, twenty years after the Ambérieu-en-Bugey colloquium, regarding the chronological setitng of the Bell Beaker horizon, the periodisation of pottery styles and the relationships between Bell Beakers and local groups in the late Neolithic in Mediterranean France ? A brief inventory of knowledge from 1992 together with research from the last two decades will allow us to re-evaluate stratigraphic evidence and radiocarbon dates and to examine the evolution of sttlement distribution and the artefact contexts and associations
Chapter 5 : The Beaker Transition in Mediterranean France
2010
In Mediterranean France, the end of the Neolithic is now wellknown. Many cultural groups are chronologically and geographically defined (Rhône-Ouvèze, Fontbouisse, Vérazien...) and the origin of the Beakers phenomenon seems clearly foreign in this context. The existence of this cultural variety in the Final Neolithic leads to: Differences in the first Beaker settlements in these areas, Various types of acculturation, partial or total, of the indigenous groups, with sometimes the survival of certain Late Neolithic traditions, The development of two Middle regional Bell Beakers groups (Pyrenean group and Rhodano-Provençal Group) after the first phenomenon. The beaker pots known on several hun…
A method of data structuring for the study of diffusion processes of raw materials and manufactured objects
2017
International audience; Workgroup 3 of the ArchaeDyn II programme aims at studying the diffusion systems of products in ancient times. In order to be able to structure data in GIS in an appropriate way, we propose to go through three levels of modelling: the first one aims at gathering together the different components of the diffusion systems taking into account their interactions; the second corresponds to a conceptual data model created with the help of the HBDS method, that will, as we get to the third stage, lead to the creation of a "three-dimensional" geodatabase. Here we point out the fact that the approach through the simple notion of “site” is not sufficient to study the products’…

La Neolitización en Cantabria
2019
El territorio actual de la región de Cantabria se corresponde fundamentalmente con el sector central de la Cornisa Cantábrica, además de los valles de Campóo y Valderredible y como la práctica totalidad de trabajos de síntesis realizados tanto en el País Vasco, como en Asturias se circuscriben a sus límites regionales se ha convertido en un importante vacío de información para el estudio del proceso de neolitización en la Cornisa Cantábrica, la poca atención que se ha dispensado a los datos arqueológicos regional origina que las teorías generales sobre el proceso, o los procesos de neolitización en la Cornisa Cantábrica tengan serias lagunas. Con este breve artículo pretendemos contribuir a…
La nécropole Néolithique moyen d’Obernai ‘Neuen Brunnen’ (Bas-Rhin) : rites funéraires de la première moitié du 5e millénaire dans le sud de la plain…
2020
The Obernai ’Neuen Brunnen’ necropolis in Lower Alsace yielded 29 tombs attributed to the Middle Neolithic. It was probably founded during the Early Grossgartach, at the end of the 48th century BC, and abandoned during the Roessen, perhaps during the Early Roessen, and in any case before the middle of the 46th century BC. The most original feature of this mortuary assemblage is that most of the tombs belong to the Planig-Friedberg period (the last stylistic phase of the Grossgartach) and the Roessen. The mortuary practices of these periods are still poorly known in the region. The necropolis is composed of three spatial groups, the most ancient of which contains all the Grossgartach tombs a…
