Advances in phytolith research in archaeology and paleoecology
Unraveling Early Holocene occupation patterns at El Arenal de la Virgen (Alicante, Spain) open-air site
Palimpsests are ubiquitous in the open-air archaeological record. Yet, integrated intra-site research strategies of palimpsest dissection to infer occupational histories, spatial behavioural patterns and site formation processes remain scarce in the postglacial archaeology. In this work, we apply an integrated protocol of palimpsest analysis to the Mesolithic Unit IV of El Arenal de la Virgen site, radiocarbon dated in two different occupation ph…
Mesolithic hearth-pits and formation processes
Hearth-pits are some of the most common archaeological features documented in open-air Mesolithic sites, especially in coversand areas of NW Europe. However, very few geoarchaeological studies have addressed their formation, function and relationship with occupation surfaces. This work introduces new interdisciplinary investigations on the sediments of the Mesolithic open-air site of El Arenal de la Virgen (SE Iberia). A selection of five hearth-…
El Niño Cave (Aýna, Albacete, Spain)
El Niño cave, located on the south-eastern border of the Spanish Meseta, hosts a discontinuous sequence including Middle Palaeolithic and Neolithic levels, along with Upper Palaeolithic and Levantine style paintings. It is a key site for understanding human occupations of inland Iberia during the Palaeolithic and early prehistory. This paper summarises the main results of a multidisciplinary project aimed at defining the prehistoric human occupat…
Pen management and livestock activities based on phytoliths, dung spherulites, and minerals from Cova Gran de Santa Linya (Southeastern pre-Pyrenees)
Contextual, technological and chronometric data from Cova Gran
Beginnings, settlement and consolidation of the production economy in the Basque region
Formation processes and stratigraphic integrity of the Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic sequence at Cova Gran de Santa Linya (Southeastern Prepyrenees of Lleida, Iberian Peninsula)
Agrarian archaeology in northern Iberia
Same anthropogenic activity, different taphonomic processes
El Neolítico de la cueva del Niño (Aýna, Albacete) en el contexto de la Sierra del Segura
Desde su excavación en el verano de 1973, la Cueva del Niño ha sido considerada un yacimiento de gran importancia para conocer el proceso de introducción de la economía de producción o de la tecnología cerámica en el sureste de la Península Ibérica, y especialmente para establecer cómo dicho proceso pudo haber afectado a las poblaciones ya asentadas en la región de la Sierra del Segura. Sin embargo, la información proporcionada por la Cueva del N…
