Absolute Chronology and Demographic Insights from the Exceptional Infantile Chalcolithic Necropolis of the Galería del Sílex (Atapuerca, Spain)
Open AccessAntonio Molina-Almansa, Rebeca García González et al.ARTICLEChildhood in the Past2026
Galería del Sílex, (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain), is a site of human occupation from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. This study presents 11 radiometric dates on human remains from the central area of the gallery, which date to the first third of the 3rd millennium BCE (pre-Bell Beaker). The assemblage represents an outstanding funerary space in European prehistory dedicated almost exclusively to young children, indicating a specific mortuary prac…
Los restos humanos recuperados dentro de un sarcófago infantil en el yacimiento de “Cendrera” (Sotopalacios, Burgos)
Open AccessMaria Castilla Casado, J M Carretero et al.ARTICLEArqueología y Territorio Medieval2025
This study analyses the human remains of eight individuals (six of whom were immature) that were deposited inside a small sarcophagus found by chance in Merindad de Río Ubierna (Burgos, Spain). Through an anthropological analysis of the skeletal remains, combined with a review of the published literature on similar burials, we have showed that the inhumation under consideration is unique in the archaeological record of the Iberian Peninsula. Give…

We describe the shape variability of nine dog hemimandibles recovered from two Holocene archaeological sites on the Iberian Peninsula. In this study we mainly focus on the Chalcolithic age dog remains recovered from Barrio del Castillo (Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid), but also, make comparisons to dog specimens from El Portalón (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos) Bronze Age. We used geometric morphometrics (3D) to describe mandibular morphology and compare…
Ultra-Short Pulse Laser Cleaning of Contaminated Pleistocene Bone
Open AccessMd Ashiqur Rahman, Germán F de la Fuente et al.ARTICLEHeritage2023References: 4
The impact of wavelength and pulse duration in laser cleaning of hard blackish contaminants crust from archaeologically significant Pleistocene bone is investigated in this research. The objective is to determine the practical cleaning procedures and identify adequate laser parameters for cleaning archaeological bone from Sima de los Huesos (Spain) based on conservation and restoration perspectives. Bone surface cleaning was performed utilizing t…
Long-term dog consumption during the Holocene at the Sierra de Atapuerca (Spain)
Open AccessM Á Galindo-Pellicena, Nohemi Sala et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Cited by: 2References: 70
Evidence of dog consumption at the El Portalón de Cueva Mayor site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Spain) from the Holocene is revealed for the first time. The taxonomical and taphonomical studies of the animal bones from the El Portalón site have been carried out. The morphological and metrical analyses indicate that 130 dog bone remains have been identified from the El Portalón site, including from the Neolithic (NISP = 23), Chalcolithic (Pre-Bell Beaker…

The earliest modern humans outside Africa
Open AccessIsrael Hershkovitz, Gerhard W Weber et al.ARTICLEScience2018
Earliest modern humans out of Africa Recent paleoanthropological studies have suggested that modern humans migrated from Africa as early as the beginning of the Late Pleistocene, 120,000 years ago. Hershkovitz et al. now suggest that early modern humans were already present outside of Africa more than 55,000 years earlier (see the Perspective by Stringer and Galway-Witham). During excavations of sediments at Mount Carmel, Israel, they found a fos…

H. antecessor is derived regarding the shape of the mandibular alveolar arcade within the genus Homo and points to an early divergence from contemporaneous African populations. Our results also ratify the affinities of H. antecessor with Neanderthals, although the precise relationship with this lineage needs further research

Postcranial morphology of the middle Pleistocene humans from Sima de los Huesos, Spain

Significance The middle Pleistocene Sima de los Huesos (SH) fossil collection provides the rare opportunity to thoroughly characterize the postcranial skeleton in a fossil population, comparable only to that obtained in the study of the Neandertal hypodigm and recent (and fossil) modern humans. The SH paleodeme can be characterized as relatively tall, wide, and muscular individuals, who are less encephalized than both Neandertals and modern human…

El Portalón of Cueva Mayor is one of the present-day entrances to the Cueva Mayor-Cueva del Silo karst system located in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). It is an important archaeological site with extended Holocene occupation which has been subjected to a number of excavations since the nineteen seventies. From its significant collection of bone and antler industry, for this work, we have chosen artefacts indicating local production and …
