The Songon-M'Brathé shell midden (Ivory Coast)
This study explores the site formation and paleoenvironmental evolution of the Songon-M’Brathé shell midden in Ivory Coast through microstratigraphic analysis. Using geoarchaeological and dating techniques—including micromorphology, μ-XRF elemental mapping, radiocarbon dating, and thermoluminescence—the human occupation at the site is dated from the 7th to the 17th centuries CE. The earliest deposits reflect periodic flooding from a paleochannel …
Novedades en la investigación de la necrópolis megalítica de La Lentejuela (Teba, Málaga)
Este estudio presenta los trabajos arqueológicos realizados en la necrópolis megalítica de La Lentejuela (Málaga, España), entre 2021 y 2022. Estos han consistido en una prospección arqueológica sistemática, con registro fotogramétrico y de escaneo láser de todas las estructuras megalíticas identificadas, y en la excavación de dos tumbas. Los resultados han permitido aumentar sustancialmente el número de megalitos conocidos, comprender mejor las …
Marine resource exploitation and human settlement patterns during the Neolithic in SW Europe
In recent decades, investigations in the southern Iberian Peninsula have increased our understanding of the socio-economic impact of the spread of the Neolithic in southwestern Europe, including changes in marine resources exploitation. Nevertheless, considerable uncertainty still exists around the seasonality of such subsistence systems and the putative role of marine fish and shellfish to the evolving agro-pastoral economies. Earlier studies on…
Application of photogrammetry and laser scanner on the Bronze Age structures of the Castillejos de Luna cist tomb necropolis (Pizarra, Spain)
The cist tombs necropolis at Castillejos de Luna, in Sierra de Gibralmora-Sierra del Hacho (Pizarra, Málaga, Spain) was known from the graphic documentation and the grave goods of two tombs. New studies have documented nine burials. The aim of this article is to present the new virtualisation work that has been carried out in the necropolis, to generate a new three-dimensional (3D) documentation of the currently known records, which are in accept…
Caution! Contents were hot
Understanding exposure of pottery vessels to fire is an important question in the agenda of researchers studying how prehistoric pottery was used to prepare food and the reasons leading to its widespread adoption across the world. In the case lipid residues from cooking, making sense of the range of biochemical compounds synthesised by the application of significant amounts of heat (i.e > 100 °C) to lipid residues can reveal different use pattern…
Molluscs as Personal Adornment in a Gravettian Context from Cueva de Ardales (Málaga, Spain)
Molluscs used as personal adornment in Gravettian context are scarce in the Iberian Peninsula. Less than 200 pieces have been barely found along the Mediterranean, and most of them in coastal sites. This article presents thirteen new items – in the majority of marine origin – found by a Spanish-German team during a joint research project in Cueva de Ardales (Ardales, Malaga, Spain). The cave is one of the few interior sites in which this type of …
Diversified pottery use across 5th and 4th millennium cal BC Neolithic coastal communities along the Strait of Gibraltar

The use and abuse of cinnabar in Late Neolithic and Copper Age Iberia
In this study, total mercury (THg) was analyzed in archaeological human bone from 23 sites dating to between the Middle Neolithic and the Antiquity. A total of 370 individuals from individual or collective burials was sampled, mostly using cortical bone from the humerus. These individuals were recovered from over 50 different funerary structures ranging from tholoi, pits, caves, and hypogea. Although cinnabar (HgS) is a likely cause of mercury po…

Ocupaciones de la Cueva de Ardales y Sima de las Palomas de Teba por sociedades neandertales
Un equipo interdisciplinar internacional viene realizando nuevas investigaciones en Cueva de Ardales (Ardales, Málaga) y en Sima de las Palomas (Teba, Málaga), enmarcadas en un Proyecto General de Investigación autorizado por la Junta de Andalucía. Presentamos un avance de los datos obtenidos en ambas cavidades en relación a la ocupación vinculada a sociedades neandertales con tecnología de tipo Paleolítico Medio
New archaeological data on the upper Paleolithic site of cueva de Malalmuerzo (Moclín, Granada, Spain)
The Malalmuerzo cave (Moclín, Granada, Spain) has been known since the 1980s for its archaeological remains and rock art, dated to the Neolithic and the Solutrean periods respectively. However, following thirty years of neglect, our team carried out a brief archaeological intervention after looters destroyed parts of the sediment fill of the cave. The refreshing of disturbed surfaces and the examination of a small undisturbed profile produced man…
Fish resource exploitation in the southern Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula
The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years
Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand the genetic history and movements of people across the globe. Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals from Iberia (see the Perspective by Vander Linden). The findings provide a comprehensive genetic time transect of the region. Linguistics analysis and genetic analysis of archaeological human remains…

Resultados arqueomalacológicos de la Cueva de Gar Cahal en el contexto regional de la Península Tingitana (norte de Marruecos)
Archaeological excavations carried out by Professor M. Tarradell in the 50s of last century in the caves of Gar Cahal and Kaf That Gar (Northern Morocco), made with methods typical of the time, provide data of great interest to understand the historical processes that occurred in northern Morocco from social formations hunter-gatherer to the initial class. The marine fauna of these sites, so far unpublished and deposited in the offices of the Arc…

Functional analysis has focused mainly on the study of lithic instruments and to a lesser extent instruments made on animal materials. Using functional analysis we identified ten shell tools from the archaeological sites of Campo de Hockey and SET Parralejos, located in the Atlantic coast of Cádiz (southern Spain). Both sites date to the IV-V millennium BC. The interpretation of use wear present on the surface of the shells has enabled us to esta…

Excavating in breccia
Excavators examining breccia deposits are faced with the prospect of extracting finds from a material akin to concrete. Nevertheless such deposits are sometimes the only witness of early Palaeolithic occupation. Our inventive authors put aside the hammers, acids and explosives of earlier days, and used quarry techniques to cut the breccia into small blocks, which they then freed from their finds in the laboratory, using tools developed in palaeon…
