  • Beyond 2,000 meters, first evidence of intense prehistoric occupation in the Pyrenees

    Open AccessC Tornero, Celia Díez-Canseco et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Environmental…2026

    Cave 338 is a high-altitude prehistoric site located at 2,235 m a. s.l. in the eastern Pyrenees (Queralbs, Girona, NE Iberian Peninsula). Excavated between 2021 and 2023, the site preserves an exceptional and well-stratified archaeological sequence documenting recurrent episodes of human occupation spanning from at least the early 5th millennium cal BC to the late 1st millennium cal BC. Radiocarbon dates indicate that these occupations occurred d…

  • Times of Execution, Transit and Use of the Palaeolithic Rock Art of the Cave of Altamira (Cantabria, Spain)

    Open AccessÁlvaro Ibero, Marcos García-Diez et al.ARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal2026References: 7

    The article presents new archaeological data from the Cave of Altamira from two different perspectives: first, it summarizes the results of a comprehensive study of the rock art of a topographic area of the cave; second, it analyses archaeological evidence spatially linked to the studied Palaeolithic imageries. By contrasting the results of the AMS dating of some of this evidence with the results of our study of the superpositions and the formal …

  • Archaeomagnetic Tools Applied to the Study of Middle Palaeolithic Hearths

    Open AccessJudit del Río, A Palencia‐orta et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2025

    Due to its long occupation throughout the Middle Palaeolithic and the abundance of its pyrotechnological evidence, the Abric Romaní rockshelter (Capellades, Barcelona) provides an ideal setting for studying Neanderthal fire use. We conducted an archaeomagnetic study of four hearths from Level R ( ca. 60 ky BP). Rock magnetism experiments, including hysteresis loops, and backfield, isothermal remanent magnetisation acquisition and thermo-magnetic …

  • Risk Posed by Different Intimate Partner Violence Offender Types

    Open AccessJosé Luis González-Álvarez, Virginia Soldino et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2024

    Spanish intimate partner violence against women offender types (i.e., high instability/high antisociality, HiHa; low instability/high antisociality, LiHa; high instability/low antisociality, HiLa; low instability/low antisociality, LiLa) were matched with their police recidivism outcomes in a longitudinal study of 9,672 cases. Our goal was to examine whether these subtypes differed in (1) their recidivism rates, (2) the severity of the new violen…

  • Intriguing Occupations at Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Spain)

    Open AccessM Mosquera, Andreu Ollé et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2024Cited by: 4References: 59

    This paper presents the zooarchaeological, technological, use-wear, and spatial analyses of the earliest sedimentary subunits of TD10 (TD10.3 and TD10.4) of the Gran Dolina site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain), dated to c. 400 ka. Both units have yielded Acheulean technology, with occupational models characterized by the superimposition of multiple and independent events paired with short, sporadic occupations. Subunits TD10.3 and TD10.4 for…

  • Valdeprovedo open-air site

    Open AccessMarta Santamaría, Marta Navazo et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2024Cited by: 1References: 64

    In this paper, we present the site of Valdeprovedo (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos), an open-air Paleolithic site. This site is attractive for study and research for three main reasons. First, it is an open-air site with an extraordinarily well-preserved lithic assemblage that corresponds to a very short-lived event. Second, in this small area, refits have been achieved with a high refitting rate, which allows us to reconstruct the action carried ou…

  • Experimental One-Sided Choppers Relating Neuromuscular Human Abilities to Heart Rates and Technological Evolution

    Open AccessIgor Parra, Luisa Morales et al.ARTICLEHumans2023References: 27

    The length of time it takes to experimentally make one-sided choppers, as found in the fossil record, bears a linear relationship to the knapping process of fabricating them. In addition, this temporal frame appears to be related to human heart rates measured as beats per minute, which act as a physiological metronome. We achieved these observations, assuming that any paleolithic one-sided chopper has the information needed to estimate, quantitat…

  • The Technological Behaviours of Homo antecessor

    Open AccessDiego Lombao, Jose Ramón Rabuñal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Method…2022Cited by: 11References: 68

    The ability of early hominins to overcome the constraints imposed by the characteristics of raw materials used for stone tool production is a key topic on the discussion about the evolution of hominin cognitive capabilities and technical behaviours. Thus, technological variability has been the centrepiece on this debate. However, the variability of lithic assemblages cannot be correctly interpreted without understanding site occupational models a…

  • Atapuerca Neanderthal landscape at Fuente Mudarra site in Burgos, Spain, during Marine Isotope Stages 5–3

    Open AccessMarta Santamaría, Marta Navazo et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2021

    Fuente Mudarra is on a gentle slope on the left bank of the Pico River, near Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain. A 12−m 2 test pit was dug at this large open-air site between 2012 and 2017. Several upper Pleistocene archaeological levels were documented. Results from Fuente Mudarra confirm that Neanderthal groups, little represented at cave sites, occupied Sierra de Atapuerca from the end of the middle Pleistocene and during the upper Pleistocene…

  • The large flake Acheulean with spheroids from Santa Ana Cave (Cáceres, Spain)

    Open AccessFrancisco-Javier García-Vadillo, Antoni Canals-Salomó et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2021Cited by: 1References: 37

    The Acheulean of the Iberian Peninsula is considered a homogeneous technocomplex within the Large Flake Acheulean (LFA) of northern African origin. In this work, we describe the lithic industry of Santa Ana Cave, interpret the territorial functions of the site and search for its technological parallels. Our results place the lithic industry of Santa Ana within the LFA. This assemblage is characterised by: 1) an association of spheroids and large …

  • Variability of limestone knapping methods in Middle Palaeolithic levels M and Ob of Abric Romaní (Barcelona, Spain)

    Open AccessA Eixea, Amèlia Bargalló et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2021Cited by: 2References: 43

    This paper presents the limestone reduction sequences documented in levels M and Ob at Abric Romaní from a technological point of view. At level M, a recurrent knapping system has been identified, resulting in the frequency of pseudo-Levallois blanks. At archaeolevel Ob, the presence of Levallois methods are observed in association with this knapping system. In both cases, retouched tools are rare and dominated by notches and denticulates. Althou…

    n\tSome years ago, The Homogeneity to Multiplicity Model (HMM) was introduced as a structural framework for understanding the appearance and evolution of early stone tool techno-systems. Presently, the HMM provides an alternative and complimentary conceptual scheme with which to explain how and why particular morphotypes appeared and proliferated through time and space. This paper is especially dedicated to the very first stage of this model, Hom…
