From bone chemistry to human demography
First-ever multi-method approach to Iberian Copper Age society, including standard bioarchaeological approach, amelogenin peptide analysis, stable strontium analysis, aDNA and total mercury analysis. • Based on a sample of 126 well-dated and well-contextualized individuals from the Valencina Copper Age mega-site. • Discussion of results included burial rites and gestures, sex and age demographics, pathologies, mobility, biological kinship, ancest…
Fresh insights into sex-specific mobility in Copper Age Perdigões (Reguengos de Monsaraz, Portugal) provided by amelogenin peptide analysis
Sex estimation based on amelogenin peptides in dental enamel has opened up possibilities to study prehistoric demography in a new light. The application of this technique is of particular importance for the analysis of prehistoric collective burials, where the commingled and disarticulated nature of human remains makes sex estimations challenging. This paper presents data on the sex of 35 individuals from the Late Neolithic-Chalcolithic site of P…
Moving to Stay in (a Woman’s) Place
This paper questions whether forms of female mobility and their relation to kinship were uniform throughout later European prehistory. Patrilocality has become the primary way in which sex-based differences in isotope and ancient DNA (aDNA) data are interpreted for this period, but often without discussing or differentiating this concept further. Using a meta-analysis of existing studies from the Neolithic to the Early Iron Age, we argue that sch…
Prime time. La temporalidad de las prácticas funerarias en el megasitio de la Edad del Cobre de Valencina (c. 2900-2650 a. C.)
La calidad de los datos radiométricos disponibles para el estudio del fenómeno megalítico en Iberia ha mejorado notablemente en los últimos quince años. Como resultado, comienzan a surgir detalles relevantes en cuanto a la secuencia, temporalidad y evolución de ciertos tipos de monumentos, construcciones específicas y agrupaciones de ellas. En este artículo ampliamos esta línea de investigación al mega-sitio de la Edad del Cobre de Valencina, sit…
A multimethod approach to the genesis of Menga, a World Heritage megalith
The scientific study of Neolithic monuments holds fundamental keys to the analysis of early social complexity. This is often impeded by the challenges involved in understanding their temporality and, particularly, their initial construction dates. This problem is most severe in monuments that were not predominantly used for burial and went on to have long biographies in which activity in later periods obliterated the material record of the earlie…
Isotopic Evidence for Mobility in the Copper and Bronze Age Cemetery of Humanejos (Parla, Madrid)
Over the last several decades, the application of aDNA and strontium isotope analyses on archaeologically recovered human remains has provided new avenues for the investigation of mobility in past societies. Data on human mobility can be valuable in the reconstruction of prehistoric residential patterns and kinship systems, which are at the center of human social organization and vary across time and space. In this paper, we aim to contribute to …
In the bosom of the Earth
Antequera in southern Spain is widely recognised as an outstanding example of the European megalithic phenomenon. One of its most remarkable features is the evident relationship between conspicuous natural formations and human-built monuments. Here, the authors report the results of their investigation of a tomb newly discovered at the site of Piedras Blancas at the foot of La Peña de los Enamorados, a limestone massif that dominates the Antequer…
Women, residential patterns and early social complexity. From theory to practice in Copper Age Iberia
The relationship between residence, gender and mobility is central to the study of early social complexity. And \nyet, until recently, it was deemed as archaeologically intractable. The recent combination of strontium data and \ngenomics with other methods has opened up entirely new possibilities for the archaeological study of human \nmobility, but these advances are not without problems. Theoretical framing, empirical accuracy and data \ninterp…
Missing prehistoric women? Sex ratio as an indicator for analyzing the population of Iberia from the 8th to the 3rd millennia B.C
Sorprendente, colorido, suave, raro
Solo recientemente la investigación del fenómeno megalítico ibérico ha comenzado a beneficiarse de la ampliación del potencial técnico y científico de la arqueología moderna. Todavía son muy pocos los megalitos ibéricos para los que se han realizado investigaciones científicas de alta resolución, capaces de aportar datos detallados sobre su diseño, usos y biografías.En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio del tholos del complejo m…
Gender Inequalities in Neolithic Iberia
Gender archaeology approaches to Iberian late prehistory have experienced a significant growth in the last two decades. However, much of the work undertaken has focused on specific aspects of the archaeological record (rock art, burial practices), particularly from the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods for which the evidence is more readily available. In addition, it has tended to be regional or local in scope. Here, we attempt an empirically robus…
La población no adulta del asentamiento de la Edad del Cobre de Valencina de la Concepción (Sevilla)
A partir de la revisión de estudios previos y de la aportación de datos inéditos se realiza un análisis de la población no adulta del asentamiento de la Edad del Cobre de Valencina de la Concepción (Sevilla). En total se examinan 39 sujetos no adultos inhumados en contenedores funerarios de distinto tipo y repartidos a lo largo de la amplia cronología de este asentamiento. Como resultado se constata la alta variabilidad de la proporción de este s…
