An approximation to the study of black pigments in Cova Remigia (Castell on, Spain). Technical and cultural assessments of the use of carbon-based bl…
2014
International audience; Spanish Levantine Rock Art is a unique pictorial expression within the prehistoric European context. Located in shelters in the inland regions of the Iberian Mediterranean basin, this art form, which must be necessarily studied in the frame of the process of neolithization of this territory, still lacks direct dating, and therefore its authorship is still open to debate. In this paper we present the first characterization of black pigments used in the Cova Remigia shelters in the Valltorta-Gassulla area (Castell on, Spain) by means of EDXRF spectrometry combined with SEM-EDS and Raman spectroscopy. Our aim is both to identify the raw material used for the preparation…
From the real to the imaginary. A flora and fauna database of the Iberian Iron Age.
2012
'From the real to the imaginary,' a project developed between 2005 and 2012, studies Iberian flora and fauna in order to understand (and even approximate) the use and symbolism of plants and animals within Iberian Iron Age societies. Our methodology combines a paleobiological approach, based on palinology, anthracology, paleocarpology and paleozoology, with an iconographic approach. We record all the representations of plants and animals that appear on different Iron Age media: pottery, architectonic stone, stone sculpture, metallic objects and coins. All these data are catalogued taking into account the context and chronology of the archaeological remains for each entry. This information i…
El nivel IV del Abrigo de la Quebrada (Chelva, Valencia). Análisis microespacial y valoración del uso del espacio en los yacimientos del Paleolítico …
2013
Se analiza la distribución espacial de los restos óseos y líticos del nivel IV del abrigo de la Quebrada, fechado en el MIS 3. A pesar de que puede definirse como un palimpsesto, el estudio detallado de los materiales en relación con las estructuras de combustión permite observar unas pautas de uso del espacio que resultan significativas de una ocupación que abarca la mayor parte de la superficie excavada, generando un espacio preferente de actividades de forma más o menos elíptica y una longitud mayor próxima a los 10 m. El detalle de las distribuciones de las materias primas, técnicas de talla y especies menos representadas permite confirmar la superposición de eventos diferenciados de oc…
Reflexiones Migrantes
2017
Más allá de patrias ar fi ciales y ar fi ciosas, todas y todos buscamos un hogar, refugio en el que realizarnos y aprendernos a soñar en la mejor versión que podamos ofrecernos. Hay veces que ese hogar es en el que nacemos: un hogar que nos evocan los sonidos y olores de la infancia, los rostros que, a pesar de las oscuridades acuciantes siempre reconocemos entre esos tonos de luz y color que acompasan nuestros ritmos más profundos, la memoria de un empo ya pasado pero tangible a través de las telarañas difusas del empo. Un hogar, por lo tanto, vivo y añorado, siempre, en nuestro interior. Pero que, en este caso, es un hogar que siempre dejamos atrás, tanto a través de la dimensió…

Exploring LGM subsistence in Cantabrian and Mediterranean Iberian areas: ungulates bone assemblages as nutritional and industrial resource among Solutrean groups
Stable isotope ratio analysis of bone collagen as indicator of different environments conditions and dietary habits in Northeastern Iberia during the…
2018
The Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic periods are poorly understood in northeastern Iberia. Most of the information comes from the sepulchral structures rather than habitat settlements. The high number of individuals usually recovered from this types of collective burial spaces, together with the low number of direct radiocarbon dates available on them, forces us to be cautious and consider all the studied assemblages as belonging to the so-called Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic time period. To evaluate human dietary patterns of the Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic populations from the northeast of Iberia, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis was carried out on 78 humans and 32 faunal bones fro…
Industria ósea singular en la Edad del Hierro peninsular. A propósito de una cabeza femoral humana perforada de El Puig de la Nau (Benicarló, Castell…
2021
Presentamos el estudio taxonómico, tipológico, tecnológico y contextual de una cabeza femoral perforada de Homo sapiens recuperada en los niveles de los siglos VII - VI a. C. del yacimiento ibérico de El Puig de la Nau (Benicarló, Castellón). A raíz de la singularidad de su materia prima y de acuerdo a la interpretación de la pieza como una posible fusayola realizamos una revisión de otros objetos manufacturados sobre huesos humanos de contextos prehistóricos y protohistóricos, así como sobre cabezas femorales perforadas de otros mamíferos como bóvidos identificadas como fusayolas. We present the taxonomic, typological, technological and contextual study of a perforated femoral head of Homo…
The complete genome sequence of a 45,000 year old modern human from Western Siberia
2014
Wepresent the high-quality genome sequence of a 45,000-year-old modern human male from Siberia. This individual derives from a population that lived before¿or simultaneously with¿the separation of the populations in western and eastern Eurasia and carries a similar amount of Neanderthal ancestry as present-day Eurasians. However, the genomic segments of Neanderthal ancestry are substantially longer than those observed in present-day individuals, indicating that Neanderthal gene flow into the ancestors of this individual occurred 7,000¿13,000 years before he lived. We estimate an autosomal mutation rate of 0.4 x 10-9 to 0.6x10-9 per site per year, a Y chromosomal mutation rate of 0.7x10-9 to…
Evidences of Interaction Homo-Cuon in three Upper Pleistocene Sites of the Iberian Mediterranean Central Region
2013
Several cuon bones were discovered recently in three Upper Pleistocene archeological sites in the central area of the Iberian Mediterranean. This has proved that there were different types of interactions between dholes and prehistoric human groups. Firstly, evidence found in the archeological sites of Cova Negra and Coves de Santa Maira shows the use of carcasses of dholes by human hunter-gatherers. Secondly, the dhole remains recovered in Cova del Parpalló shows the dholes and humans could occupy the same habitat. In this case, the dhole died by natural causes in a small and isolated gallery before the human groups occupied the cave during the gravettian period. Associated with the dhole …
El registro paleobiológico cuaternario del yacimiento arqueológico de la Cueva de Nerja (Málaga, España)
2003
Entre los 24.000-4.000 años B.P. (Pleistoceno superior final - Holoceno) se depositó en la entrada de la Cueva de Nerja una potente serie estratigráfica caracterizada por la presencia a lo largo de toda su extensión vertical de importantes manifestaciones de actividad antrópica, que constituyen uno de los registros arqueológicos más amplios de esa cronología en el Mediterráneo occidental. Corresponden a los restos tecnológicos propios de los diferentes complejos culturales que se suceden a lo largo de la secuencia (Paleolítico superior inicial, Solutrense, Magdaleniense, Epipaleolítico, Neolítico y Calcolítico), que aparecen acompañados por numerosos restos vegetales y animales relacionados…
