The role of quartzite in a Gravettian short-term camp
A Return to Chalosse Cherts
The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and people from the northern to the southern slope. Nevertheless, this evidence must be reinforced, and the mo…
Gravettians in the Altmühl Valley”? Comprehensive Reassessment and New Data from the Sequence from the Abri I im Dorf (Neuessing, Bavaria, Germany)
Due to the high density of cave and rock shelter sites, the Altmühl Valley is one of the most essential regions of southern German Palaeolithic research. The site presented in this paper, the Abri I im Dorf, lies within the main concentration of Palaeolithic sites found in this valley, extending along its lowest stretch between Riedenburg and its confluence into the Danube in Kelheim. We present the results achieved in reassessing the archaeo-str…
Lost in the Quest for Flint
Five decades ago, Usategi Cave (Basque Country) yielded a small Gravettian series that included an Isturitz‐type bone point. This paper presents the first 14 C dates for the assemblage and new data obtained by the study of the lithic raw materials, a high proportion of which came from north of the Pyrenees. The discussion of this new information leads to the hypothesis that the occupants of the cave were a group that travelled from the continenta…
A Great Step Forward. Lithic Raw Material Procurement and Management among Palaeolithic Hunter-Gatherers in the Basque Crossroads
This paper is divided into three sections. The first section describes the historiographic evolution of the study of prehistoric lithic raw materials in the Basque Crossroads (in the north of the Iberian Peninsula) during the last three decades. The second section explains the currently available information about geological outcrops of flint in the eastern end of the Cantabrian Mountain range (the Basque-Cantabrian Basin), the upper Ebro valley …
Piecing together a new mosaic
To palliate the current scarcity of information about lithic raw materials in the Western Pyrenees during the Gravettian, the study of ten assemblages has explored the flint procurement patterns and economic organisation of the territory. The study was based on the macro- and microscopic analysis of the different lithic remains. A wide range of flint varieties were used, including some excellent rocks for knapping and others of poorer quality. Th…
Just before sewing needles. A functional hypothesis for Gravettian Noailles-type burins from Isturitz cave (Basque Country, southwestern France)
El tecno-complejo del Embalse de Urrúnaga (Álava). Nuevas aportaciones al conocimiento de las sociedades del Paleolítico inferior en el norte de la Península Ibérica
En este trabajo se presenta una nueva coleccin ltica adscrita al Paleoltico inferior recuperada en el embalse de Urrnaga (lava, Pas Vasco, Espaa). Consta de 70 artefactos que han sido estudiados conforme a los parmetros de la Tipologa Analtica a partir de las estructuras de anlisis; Petrolgica, Modal-Morfolgica
Subsistencia, movilidad y adaptación al medio de los cazadores-recolectores gravetienses en el sector occidental de la región cantábrica
En el trabajo presentamos el nivel gravetiense de Coímbre, uno de los contados ejemplos de esta cronología en el centro-occidente cantábrico. Se trata de uno de los yacimientos de mayor interés para el análisis del Gravetiense cerca de su margen occidental de expansión por el continente europeo. Mediante el análisis arqueozoológico y tafonómico de la fauna, de la industria lítica, los restos arqueobotánicos, la interpretación de la secuencia arqu…
Patrones de aprovisionamiento de sílex de las comunidades superopaleolíticas del Pirineo occidental
Los estudios referentes a la gestin de los recursos lticos -especialmente el slex-por parte de los grupos prehistricos en las dos vertientes del Pirineo occidental han aumentado de manera considerable en las ltimas dcadas. En este trabajo, pretendemos realizar una aproximacin a la movilidad de los grupos superopaleolticos, mediante los Sistemas de Informacin Geogrfica (SIG). Estos nos permiten relacionar espacialmente los afloramientos de slex y …
En la ruta occidental del poblamiento de la Península Ibérica
Tradicionalmente, viene considerndose que el paso de los grupos humanos por los Pirineos resulta dificultoso durante el Paleoltico y existen, efectivamente, datos que contradicen este planteamiento. Incluso podemos valorar como verosmil la existencia de una regin paleoltica pirenaica, con rasgos culturales especficos y una serie de yacimientos implicados, especialmente durante el Magdaleniense. La existencia de rutas de trnsito a travs de los tra…
Lithic cultural variability during the Gravettian in the Cantabrian Region and the western Pyrenees
Stones in Motion
Studies on lithic resource management –mainly flint– by prehistoric groups south of the western Pyrenees have significantly increased during the past decades. These studies usually focus on identifying outcrops and characterising the different varieties found at archaeological sites. However, the understanding of mobility and territorial management patterns based on raw materials is still very limited and has only been tackled in terms of lineal …
Where to and What For
Although it may seem paradoxical, the mobility patterns of nomadic Paleolithic hunter-gatherer groups are usually discerned based on the study of a single, static site. By statistically analysing patterns of lithic procurement at the Gravettian camp of Ametzagaina (Basque Country), we attempt to interpret how different raw material types influenced mobility and technological preferences. In order to overcome the static view created by analyzing a…
El final del Gravetiense y el comienzo del Solutrense en la Península Ibérica. Un estado de la cuestión acerca de la cronología radiocarbónica en 2012
El tránsito entre el final del Gravetiense y el inicio del Solutrense en la Península Ibérica es, en términos geográficos, cronológicos y formales, una cuestión aún por resolver. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo arrojar la mayor cantidad de información, desde el punto de vista cronológico, sobre el tránsito entre ambos momentos crono-culturales a través de una perspectiva crítica. Para ello, hemos seleccionado las dataciones de esta cronología y a…
Comparative Epidemiological Studies on Gallbladder Cancer between Chile and Japan
Se ha realizado un estudio del cáncer vesicular entre 1991 y 1998 en Chile. Presentamos los principales hallazgos encontrados en esta investigación y se comparan con los datos equivalentes de Japón.1) Hemos examinado el índice de mortalidad del cáncer vesicular en 39 países del mundo. Chile y Japón tienen dos de las más altas tasas de mortalidad por cáncer biliar, expresado en el cáncer de vesícula biliar y la vía extrahepática.2) La actividad mu…
