Analysis of Organic Microremains in Extramasticatory Occlusal Dental Grooves
This case study addresses the interpretive intricacies of establishing a cause‐and‐effect relationship between organic microremains and extramasticatory use of the dentition as a “third hand,” particularly in the context of prehistoric thread‐making activities. The evidence derives from an occlusal groove on the mandibular right central incisor (Tooth 41) of a juvenile female (16–20 age‐at‐death) from Burial 117 at Castellón Alto , an Argaric Bro…
Reconstructing dietary preferences in the Middle Pleistocene Sima de los Huesos population
Molar macrowear analysis is a valuable tool for inferring dietary preferences in extinct hominins, ultimately aiding in the reconstruction of subsistence strategies and paleoenvironmental conditions. Radiometric studies suggest that the Middle Pleistocene population from the Atapuerca-Sima de los Huesos site likely lived during Marine Isotope Stage 12, one of the coldest global periods. In this study, we applied the occlusal fingerprint analysis …

Skeletal lesions consistent with tuberculosis in an adolescent from Qubbet el-Hawa, Aswan, Egypt (Late Period, 664–525 BCE)
Tuberculosis has been well established in Ancient Egypt and is defined as an endemic disease during dynastic times. In several tombs of the necropolis of Qubbet el-Hawa (QH) in Aswan, Egypt, unequivocal cases of tuberculosis (Pott’s disease) have been identified in adults. Additionally, the remains of an adolescent (approximately 14 years old), dated to the Late Period (664–525 BCE), were discovered in tomb QH33, exhibiting a possible multifocal …
Correlation between dental microwear analysis and dietary habits of Neanderthal populations in the Iberian Peninsula
The dietary habits of Neanderthals are considered an issue of great interest in the literature and have opened an important number of fruitful debates. Indeed, understanding diets can provide important information regarding issues of palaeoenvironmental reconstructions and subsistence strategies. In this respect, dental remains can play a vital role in the conducted efforts to reconstruct the palaeoecological niches securely and accurately since …
Identifying biological affinities of Holocene northern Iberian populations through the inner structures of the upper first molars
Neolithisation was a relatively fast process that affected both the interior and coastal zones of the Iberian Peninsula, but it was also a heterogeneous process that had diverse impacts on genomic and cultural diversity. In the Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic, a change in funerary practices, cultural material and trade networks occurred, and genomic heterogeneity decreased, suggesting human mobility and genetic admixture between different Iberian pop…
Degenerative joint disease in the Chalcolithic population of El Mirador cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain)
Degenerative joint disease (DJD) is one of the most common pathological conditions identified in the archaeological record and remains a health problem in modern populations. This study aimed to evaluate DJD of the vertebral column in a sample from a Chalcolithic collective burial at El Mirador cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain) dated to 4,880-4,390 years cal. BP. Most of the human remains recovered were commingled and are in a good state of prese…

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…

Structural characterization and decontamination of dental calculus for ancient starch research
Right‐handed fossil humans
Fossil hominids often processed material held between their upper and lower teeth. Pulling with one hand and cutting with the other, they occasionally left impact cut marks on the lip (labial) surface of their incisors and canines. From these actions, it possible to determine the dominant hand used. The frequency of these oblique striations in an array of fossil hominins documents the typically modern pattern of 9 right‐ to 1 left‐hander. This ra…
Brain asymmetries and handedness in the specimens from the Sima de los Huesos site (Atapuerca, Spain)
This study investigates handedness in a group of individuals from the Sima de los Huesos site (Atapuerca, Spain). In this research, handedness has been studied by analyzing the brain endocast asymmetries (cerebral evidence), and the results (the assignment, of the manual preference in each individual) have been compared to previous results from the determination of handedness from labial striations on the anterior dentition in the same individual…
Perikymata numbers and enamel extension rates in the incisors of three archaeological modern human populations from two caves located in Spain
New methodology to reconstruct in 2‐D the cuspal enamel of modern human lower molars
OBJECTIVES: In the last years different methodologies have been developed to reconstruct worn teeth. In this article, we propose a new 2-D methodology to reconstruct the worn enamel of lower molars. Our main goals are to reconstruct molars with a high level of accuracy when measuring relevant histological variables and to validate the methodology calculating the errors associated with the measurements. METHODS: This methodology is based on polyno…

Three hands for the Neandertal lineage
The comments made in response to our hypothesis add further relevant points on the use of the mouth as a “third hand” in a perspective of extended mind. Lambros Malafouris stresses that the whole body must be intended as an inter-face, which is, however, incomplete and always ameliorable. In this sense, an excessive attention to the eye-hand system alone may be mislead-ing. Alternatives to these main “ports” are fea-sible, and improvements (or at…
Evidence for bronze age cannibalism in El Mirador Cave (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain)
During excavations of the Bronze Age levels at El Mirador Cave, a hole containing human remains was found. Taphonomic analysis revealed the existence of cutmarks, human toothmarks, cooking damage, and deliberate breakage in most of the remains recovered, suggesting a clear case of gastronomic cannibalism. The piled distribution of the remains, the uneven skeletal representation, and the chronological difference between the pit and the remains sug…
Paleodemography of the Atapuerca
This article analyzes the mortality profiles of two Middle Pleistocene hominin samples, one from the Sima de los Huesos (SH) site in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Spain) (MNI = 28), and another (MNI = 26) selected from various other European sites. In the SH mortality distribution, 64 percent of the individuals died between the ages of 11 and 20 years, but there is only one individual under the age of 10. In the sample from other European sites, there…
