  • 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 …

  • Las ocupaciones tardiglaciares de la Cova de Les Borres (La Febró, Tarragona)

    Open AccessJose Ramón Rabuñal, M Soto et al.ARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2024References: 8

    En este artículo se presentan los trabajos arqueológicos desarrollados entre 2012 y 2015 en la Cova de Les Borres (La Febró, Tarragona). Los nuevos datos cronoestratigráficos y los materiales arqueológicos analizados derivan de los tres niveles principales identificados hasta el momento, que datan de mediados del GI-1 (Nivel 2), finales del GI-1/inicios del GS-1 (Nivel 1.2) y presumiblemente del GS-1 (Nivel 1.1). La secuencia documentada resulta …

  • 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…

  • Beyond Large-Shaped Tools

    Open AccessDiego Lombao, J I Morales et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2024Cited by: 3References: 96

    The emergence of the mode 2 technocomplex, traditionally characterized by the development of large cutting tools (LCTs) or standardized large-shaped tools, has also implied a range of new technological behaviours. These include enhanced raw material management, more sophisticated knapping strategies, and transport patterns, among other innovations. Unit II of the localities of La Mina, El Forn, and Pit 1 in El Barranc de la Boella (Tarragona, Spa…

  • Cal Sitjo

    Open AccessBruno Gómez De Soler, Ethel Allué et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2023

    Cal Sitjo is a new archaeological sequence located in a chert-rich region of the NE Iberian Peninsula, in the town of Sant Martí de Tous (Anoia, Barcelona). The area has undergone significant anthropisation and several archaeological sites (e.g., Vilars de Tous), quarries and workshops for the exploitation of chert (e.g., La Guinardera) have been documented, corresponding to different periods. The abundance of chert made this region an almost obl…

  • First presence of Macaca sylvanus at the late Early Pleistocene of Barranc de la Boella (La Mina locality, Francolí Basin, NE Iberia)

  • Using GIS and Geostatistical Techniques to Identify Neanderthal Campsites at archaeolevel Ob at Abric Romaní

    Open AccessMaria Joana Gabucio, Amèlia Bargalló et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2023Cited by: 8References: 110

    Although intra-site spatial approaches are considered a key factor when interpreting archaeological assemblages, these are often based on descriptive, qualitative, and subjective observations. Currently, within the framework of research into spatial taphonomy and palimpsest dissection, several studies have begun to employ more quantitative and objective techniques, implementing tools such as geostatistics and geographic information system (GIS) m…

  • A multi-technique approach to characterization

    Open AccessBruno Gómez De Soler, M Soto et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2023Cited by: 5References: 67

    The Sant Genís Formation is located in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula (Catalonia, Spain) and is dated to the Priabonian (upper Eocene), being part of the evaporitic formations of the margin of the Ebro Basin. It is formed by a succession of sandy lutites, occasional limestone layers, marls, and local stratified gypsum and cherts, including the Sant Martí de Tous chert. The Sant Martí de Tous chert type is confirmed by its abundance at specific l…

  • The Guinardera quarry (Sant Martí de Tous, Barcelona)

    Open AccessBruno Gómez De Soler, Miguel Soares-Remiseiro et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2021

    In 2014, an anthropic accumulation of chert material was discovered in La Guinardera area, at the southwest of the Sant Martí de Tous town (Barcelona, NE Iberian Peninsula). In 2018 a first archaeological intervention was carried out in two locations: La Guinardera and La Guinardera Nord. After the fieldworks, these two accumulations were interpreted as chert workshops. These workshops are in the St. Genís Formation, included within La Noguera la…

  • 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…

  • Mobilité territoriale pendant le Paléolithique moyen en contextes discoïde et Levallois

    Open AccessBruno Gómez De Soler, Francesca Romagnoli et al.CHAPTERLa conquête de la montagne2019

    Le niveau M et le sous-niveau Oa du site de l’Abric Romaní (Capellades, Barcelona, Espagne), présentent différents types de contextes technologiques. Les chaînes opératoires du niveau M montrent des stratégies expéditives. L’assemblage lithique du sous-niveau Oa est associé à des stratégies hiérarchisées et à des chaînes opératoires Levallois. Le silex est la roche plus utilisée (80,8 % pour le niveau M, 91,6 % pour le niveau Oa). Toutes les form…

    Este artículo presenta los trabajos realizados en el yacimiento de la Balma de la Vall (Montblanc, Tarragona). Las primeras excavaciones, a inicios de los 1980, identificaron distintos niveles de ocupación humana relacionados con el Paleolítico superior final. Entre los años 2011-2013 la excavación se reemprendió con los objetivos de definir la sucesión arqueo-estratigráfica, obtener dataciones absolutas, y caracterizar el tipo de ocupaciones que…
