Long term dynamics in a mediterranean mountainous landscape. Exploring land use and social strategies in Varica Virtudes (2nd-1st millennia BCE, Southeastern Iberia)
Research on Mediterranean mountain landscapes continues to be challenged by limited empirical knowledge and the persistence of traditional assumptions, such as their alleged isolation, statism and marginality. We present the results of a multiproxy and multiscale study in the Varica Virtudes mountain (Taibilla River Basin, southwestern Iberian Peninsula), integrating landscape studies and archaeological excavation, microstratigraphic techniques, …

Ancient Evidence of Plant Processing in Human Communities at the End of the European Pleistocene
Water Reservoirs in North-Western Hispania Roman Gold Mining
Water reservoirs located on the mining fronts were essential for the operation of Roman gold mining. They served purposes such as the extraction and washing of gold deposits, and the final disposal of waste. The history of a Roman gold mine is intricately linked to its hydraulic network. Therefore, dating the construction, usage, and abandonment layers of water reservoirs enables us to comprehend the evolution of mining operations. In this paper,…
Environmental dynamics of the western European Mediterranean landscape during the Pleistocene to Holocene transition
A strategic aim of research into climate change in the distant past is to respond to the contemporary challenges of global warming at the present. Determining the processes of adaptation by ecosystems to these challenges, evaluating the effects of environmental change on human communities and finding which regions are more or less sensitive to climate change are among the key topics of environmental research today. Throughout the past millennia, …
The Northwestern Iberian Mountains
The Iberian Peninsula is an area of the Western Mediterranean among the most sensitive to climatic and anthropogenic change. It has formed the centre-piece of numerous palaeoenvironmental studies of mountain and valleys, covering different chronologies and historical periods. These studies, however, include no palaeoenvironmental background to the Roman military conquests of the late third to the late first centuries B.C. This paper presents paly…

The Toledo Mountains
The Toledo Mountains are a mid-elevation mountain range that separates the Tagus and Guadiana basins in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula. The location of these mountains allows the development of typical Mediterranean vegetation with some Atlantic influence. Consequently, typical broadleaved evergreen Mediterranean vegetation currently dominates the regional landscape, with the remarkable presence of more mesophilous species in sheltered…
Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany
Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, altho…
The impact of climate and land-use changes on the most southerly fir forests ( Abies pinsapo ) in Europe
Current knowledge of climate change effects on forest ecology and species conservation should be linked to understanding of the past-time. Abies pinsapo forests constitute a model of an endangered ecosystem, highly vulnerable to ongoing warming, whose populations have been declining for centuries, while the drivers of this local depletion trend remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that long-term disturbances, both human- and natural-induced,…
Los inicios del Neolítico en las tierras meridionales valencianas
El estudio del Neolítico en el Levante de la península Ibérica cuenta con una larga trayectoria investigadora, siendo bien conocido en algunos valles como el Serpis o el Clariano. La excavación de un buen número de yacimientos en cueva y al aire libre ha posibilitado que esta zona sea un referente destacado a escala peninsular y del Mediterráneo occidental. Sin embargo, otras cuencas fluviales muy cercanas como la del río Vinalopó no han contado …

Are Cedrus atlantica forests in the Rif Mountains of Morocco heading towards local extinction
Cedrus atlantica (Atlas cedar) is a relict and endemic endangered species from northwestern African mountains, whose distribution range has undergone a dramatic reduction over recent decades. Long-term studies are needed for a better understanding of the development of its range as well as for assisting in the implementation of sustainable conservation measures. The multi-proxy analysis of a high-resolution fossil record of 180 cm depth allowed u…
From glacial refugia to the current landscape configuration
Agrarian landscapes in the Iberian Iron Age
Agrarian landscapes are among the least understood features of first millennium B.C. societies in the western Mediterranean. Studies of such landscapes in the context of the Iberian Iron Age have been based essentially on the archeological record in places used for purposes other than farming, particularly settlements and areas reserved for burials and rituals, or on the identification of the possible use of fertilizers. Here we present a multipr…

A Late Antique Vegetation History of the Western Mediterranean in Context
Fossil pollen records from 70 sites with reliable chronologies and high-resolution data in the western Mediterranean, were synthesised to document Late Holocene vegetation and climate change. The key elements of vegetation dynamics and landscape construction during Late Antiquity are clear in the light of the fossil pollen records. These are: fire events (natural or anthropogenically induced); grazing activities in high-mountain areas; agricultur…
Late Antique Environment and Economy in the North of the Iberian Peninsula
The exceptional preservation of organic remains in a well-reservoir at the site of La Tabacalera (Asturias, Spain) is the subject of an interdisciplinary study regarding past human-environmental interaction. The feature, dated to Late Antiquity, corresponds to a large well containing a wide range of organic material (animal bones, pollen, non-pollen palynomorphs ( NPP s), mites, seeds, wood and wooden artefacts, etc.). This article examines both …
