El recinto de fosos como instrumento de clausura y de conversión en espacio simbólico de una aldea calcolítica. El testimonio de El Casetón de la Era (Villalba de los Alcores, Valladolid)
El significado de los recintos de fosos prehistóricos continúa siendo un tema debatido. En el presente trabajo se analiza la problemática específica de El Casetón de la Era (Valladolid, España), donde se registra la existencia de un triple foso y una aldea calcolíticos. Una lectura del yacimiento desde diferentes ópticas descarta que los fosos formaran parte del programa urbanístico fundacional del poblado y permite proponer la hipótesis de que f…
Late Neandertal occupations in a Galician mountain valley during MIS 3
In this paper we analyze the last Neanderthal occupations in Cova Eirós (level 3, 41.7-39 ka cal. BP). This site is located in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula, at a prominent and strategic place in the small valley of Cancelo (Tricastela, Lugo, Spain), just at the intersection of the Cantabrian and western Atlantic basins. The occupations of level 3 of Cova Eirós show the survival of small, isolated Mousterian communities in mountainous and ma…
Fish-salting Production in Northwest Iberia
Ferrazo (Vilagarcía de Arousa, Pontevedra, Spain) – in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula – is a complex Roman site originally located on the seashore including a cetaria (fish-salting factory). The extremely good preservation of this site offered the possibility of enlarging our current knowledge about fish-salting production in northwest Iberia, where these productive sites dedicated to marine resource exploitation were frequently establish…
Las cuentas de piedra como vestigio de los intercambios entre el valle del Indo y la península de Omán
Las cuentas de piedra han sido, al menos desde el Neolítico, el paradigma de los intercambios entre el valle del Indo y la península de Omán, destacando aquellas fabricadas en ágata y, especialmente, las realizadas en cornalina. Este artículo pretende analizar los intercambios entre el valle del Indo y la península de Omán a través de las cuentas de piedra para comprenderlo desde un punto de vista global. De igual modo, dada la dificultad que exi…

Lo vegetal y lo monstruoso a través de los trífidos de John Wyndham
La unión de los monstruos y lo vegetal en el género fantástico ha sido una forma de trasladar la presencia de lo primitivo, lo antiguo y lo siniestro. Desde la mandrágora hasta los trífidos, la representación de las plantas como figuras monstruosas ha resultado un reflejo de los sentimientos más negativos del ser humano y de la falacia que supone la sensación de control o poder sobre la naturaleza. En esta línea, el objetivo de este artículo ha s…
Highlighting the drastic body size decline in Cantabrian Brown Bear, Chamois and Wild Horse during the Holocene
During the Holocene, Iberian ecosystems have changed dramatically in response to different biotic and abiotic drivers. Typically, the impact of these changes on ecosystems is assessed in terms of the variation of diversity in the communities that compose them. However, there are a wide variety of population-specific parameters of vital importance for the maintenance of the structure and health of these ecosystems. In this study, we have focused o…
Lack of data and misperception of open science limit the scope of Cantabrian brown bear body mass studies, not misinterpretation of results
This manuscript responds to the comment of García-Vázquez on our recent paper, especially regarding the decline in body mass of the Cantabrian brown bear during the Holocene. The observations of García-Vázquez are reviewed point by point, addressing methodological aspects, that is, the use of the Viranta equation, the mass estimation of the specimen SH5-97-T29-35 and radiocarbon dating, as well as her ethical questions about the use of previously…
Landscape and subsistence in NW Iberia during the Middle Palaeolithic (MIS3)
Roman Atlantic garum
The Romans were among the first societies to extensively exploit fish resources, establishing large-scale salting and preservation plants where small pelagic fish were fermented to produce sauces such as garum. Here, the authors demonstrate that, despite being crushed and exposed to acidic conditions, usable DNA can be recovered from ichthyological residues at the bottom of fish-salting vats. At third-century AD Adro Vello (O Grove), Galicia, the…

De Ebla al Golfo. Una aproximación a la gestión del agua y sus usos en el Próximo Oriente
ISIMU es una revista de periodicidad anual. Sus secciones separadas –dedicadas a los ámbitos definidos como Oriente Próximo y Medio o Egipto antiguos− están abiertas a estudios y resultados de la investigación hoy repartida entre Historia, Arqueología y Filología, pero también, y por su propia y declarada voluntad interdisciplinar, a los de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales alcanzados en las mismas áreas de Oriente Próximo y Medio o Egipto
Definiendo cronologías cerámicas y procesos de fortificación altomedievales desde el noroeste peninsular. Una aproximación desde el Castelo da Veiga (Culleredo, A Coruña)
El presente artículo propone una aproximación al registro material del yacimiento de Castelo da Veiga (Culleredo, A Coruña), una fortificación de pequeñas dimensiones datada en el siglo X y ubicada en un emplazamiento conspicuo con gran control visual a larga distancia. El valor de su registro arqueológico radica en dos aspectos principales: en primer lugar, la (relativa) cantidad de materiales documentados, en contraposición a la habitual ausenc…
An overview of the Mesolithic in the northwest Atlantic and inland area of the Iberian Peninsula
This paper reviews the Mesolithic in the northwest Atlantic and inland area of the Iberian Peninsula and it is considered in the overall context of the rest of the Peninsula. The Cantabrian Mountains are the northern boundary of the study area, which excludes the adjoining coastal area. In addition to the geographical, geological and environmental settings, the chronology and human remains are also reviewed, paying special attention to the specif…
A multidisciplinary study of Iberian Chalcolithic dogs
El final del imperio romano en el noroeste peninsular
En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de dos intervenciones arqueológicas realizadas en 2019 en el yacimiento de O Castelo, en Valencia do Sil (Ourense), así como una síntesis analítica de toda la información disponible sobre el sitio. Se trata de un asentamiento fortificado que, gracias al análisis estratigráfico y las dataciones radiocarbónicas, podemos situar en los momentos finales del imperio romano en el noroeste peninsular.

The cinema of cruelty in streaming
This study aims to diagnose how the cinema of cruelty has been inserted into mainstream culture through the current streaming series, analysing the elements of the eroticism of perversity and the cinema of cruelty in the series Chernobyl and Years and Years (HBO: 2019). This is done with the design of a content analysis sheet based on the interpretation of theoretical constructs, validated by expert judgement. The results diagnose an excess of tr…
The medieval fisheries of Galicia (Northwestern Iberia)
The origin and development of the Iberian Medieval fisheries is a poorly documented phenomenon both from the standpoint of historical (documentary) and material (archaeological) evidence. Such dearth of knowledge can be explained in terms of proximal (i.e., a deficient retrieval of fish remains) and ultimate causes. Among the latter, the Muslim invasion, that lasted ca. 800 years of the “medieval millennium” in the Iberian Peninsula, needs to be …
Productos del mar en los asentamientos de interior en el noroeste de la Península Ibérica en época romana
La incorporación del noroeste ibérico al marco administrativo y económico romano dio lugar a importantes cambios en los sistemas de distribución de bienes de consumo. De manera concreta, este estudio se enfoca en el aprovechamiento de los recursos marinos, influido tanto por la significación social que adquiere el consumo de ciertos productos como por la demanda generada ante los nuevos gustos alimenticios. El nuevo escenario socioeconómico se ma…
Fish- and Shellmiddens from Galicia (Northwest Spain)
The physiographical features of the Galician sea, in particular its temperature, marine currents and plankton richness, have turned its waters into one of the most biologically diversified marine regions of the planet. The 1500 km of shorelines from this Northwest Iberian region are dotted with rías (Galician fjords) where settlements devoted to fishing and trade have existed since prehistoric times. These activities left abundant testimonies in …
The curious case of the Mesolithic Iberian dogs
Dos tumbas individuales calcolíticas en las inmediaciones de los dólmenes de Osorno y Simancas
Con motivo de presentar dos tumbas individuales en fosa inéditas, se aborda un estudio de conjunto sobre las prácticas funerarias del Calcolítico Precampaniforme en la submeseta norte española. Pese a su carácter mayoritario en el registro arqueológico, se discute la representatividad como norma de este tipo de sepulturas; se rastrean comportamientos propios de rituales de enterramiento en dos tiempos, preludio de los documentados en este mismo e…
Roman dogs from the Iberian Peninsula and the Maghreb – A glimpse into their morphology and genetics
La explotación del mar en la Galicia Romana
This paper focuses on the shellfish and fish remains recovered at the Punta Atalaia site (Galicia, Spain). Their analysis allows us to evaluate the exploitation of marine resources in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula during Roman Times. Certain continuity with operating models defined for pre-Roman periods is found during the first occupation phase of this hillfort (1st century AD). However, data analysis for later times (2nd-5th centuries …
Characterization and depositional evolution of Hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) coprolites from La Valina Cave (Northwest Spain)
Animal Husbandry and Hunting Practices in Hispania Tarraconensis
With the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula by the Roman Empire, the different societies in the north, north-west, north-east, east, and centre were grouped into the same province, Hispania Tarraconensis. This article sets out to assess whether this new, Roman, territorial organization affected previous animal husbandry and hunting practices. The taxonomic and osteometric study of faunal remains from ninety-four sites dated between the fifth centu…
The curious case of the Mesolithic Iberian dogs
Un nuevo método para la estimación de la abundancia de Paracentrotus lividus en yacimientos arqueológicos
The discovery of Paracentrotus lividus remains in archaeological sites is an important source of information that is not always possible to assess due to the difficulty of quantifying the debris and its contribution to the overall study. Recently, several authors have designed systems for the MNI calculation based on the mouthparts of the sea urchin or interspecific identification systems based on the genital tract. This paper presents an MNI cal…

Characterization and depositional evolution of Hyaena (Crocuta crocuta) coprolites from La Valina Cave (Northwest Spain)
Moluscos dulceacuícolas en yacimientos arqueológicos
This paper presents the results of the analysis of freshwater bivalve remains recovered from archaeological excavations in the province of León (Spain). The presence of these molluscs is attested from the Bronze Age to Medieval Times. However, the limited number of remains which is usually present and the absence of marks associated with human activity raise questions about the cultural significance of these remains
