A Multi-Isotope Approach to Early Childhood Palaeolithic Diet and Provenance from a Magdalenian Individual from Northern Iberia
Multi-isotope analysis on various body tissues is increasingly used in archaeology and palaeontology to provide valuable information about an individual’s life-history at different temporal resolutions (isobiographies). This paper presents the dietary and mobility reconstruction and anthropological study of a recently identified Magdalenian child from Los Canes cave (Asturias, Spain), through conventional osteological analysis, sequential stable …
Life during the Mesolithic in the Cantabrian region
The Mesolithic period has a long history of study in the Cantabrian region (Northern Iberia) due to the relatively high concentration of human remains dating to this period. Previous analysis of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes focussed on bone collagen, useful in broadly characterising Mesolithic diet, and particularly in identifying distinct inland and coastal diets. But this long-term average view does not permit the study of variation thro…
Peptide and osteological evidence for sex bias in megalithic tombs of La Lora region, Northern Iberia
Burial patterns of ancient communities based on the analysis of human remains are difficult to define. In this regard, the existence of a sex bias in megalithic tombs of western Europe remains unclear. Sex estimation using standard osteological methodologies based on dimorphic features is a complex task in commingled and fragmentary human skeletal assemblages, as those found in megalithic burials usually are. Fortunately, advances in molecular ar…
The darker angels of our nature
Direct physical evidence for violent interpersonal conflict is seen only sporadically in the archaeological record for prehistoric Britain. Human remains from Charterhouse Warren, south-west England, therefore present a unique opportunity for the study of mass violence in the Early Bronze Age. At least 37 men, women and children were killed and butchered, their disarticulated remains thrown into a 15m-deep natural shaft in what is, most plausibly…
Las prácticas funerarias de los inicios de la Edad del Bronce en los páramos del noroeste de Burgos (España)
Se presentan los resultados de la excavación y estudio de materiales del túmulo de Arroyo de las Vegas. Este es un yacimiento funerario que viene a rellenar el vacío documental referente al monumentalismo funerario de comienzos del II milenio cal a.C. de la zona central del norte peninsular. Arquitectónicamente estaba compuesto por una pequeña cámara enlosada en el centro de un túmulo rodeado por un peculiar anillo de lajas. Sus artefactos, en su…
Biografías paralelas en geografías dispares? Los monumentos megalíticos de La Mina (Alcubilla de las Peñas, Soria) y El Pendón (Reinoso, Burgos) en su paisaje inmediato
En este trabajo se analiza el paisaje de dos monumentos megalíticos, La Mina y El Pendón, con el objeto de profundizar en las motivaciones y/o los condicionantes que llevaron a las comunidades prehistóricas a erigirlos en su ubicación concreta. Se pretende comprobar si las grandes similitudes atestiguadas en su biografía constructiva y de uso también se reflejan en lo paisajístico. Para ello, se ha empleado una metodología arqueogeográfica, que p…
"The "post-weanling's conundrum
The relationship between infant and child feeding practices and early mortality is difficult to address in past societies. Here, stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotope measurements of bulk bone and sequential dentine samples of deciduous second and/or permanent first molars of four younger children, one older child, one late adolescent, and two young adults (n = 8) from Moro de Alins cave, north-eastern Iberia, are used to explore the p…
Subsistence shift and socio-economic response to cultural and climate changes among north-central Iberian megalithic groups
The life-history of a late Mesolithic woman in Iberia
A guide for an anatomically sensitive dentine microsampling and age‐alignment approach for human teeth isotopic sequences
OBJECTIVES: Stable isotope analysis of sequential dentine samples is a potentially powerful method to reveal insights into early life-histories of individuals in the past. Dentine incremental growth structures are complex, however, and current approaches that apply horizontal sectioning of demineralized tooth halves or quarters risk combining multiple growth layers and may include unwanted cementum or secondary dentine. They also require destruct…
Make a desert and call it peace
Once considered rare, archaeological examples of violence in prehistoric Europe have accumulated over recent decades, with new discoveries providing evidence of large-scale, organised warfare among pre- and protohistoric populations. One example is La Hoya in north-central Iberia. Between the mid fourth and late third centuries BC, the site was subjected to a violent attack, its inhabitants killed and the settlement burned. Here the authors prese…
A snapshot of subsistence in Iron Age Iberia
Isotopic evidence of strong reliance on animal foods and dietary heterogeneity among Early-Middle Neolithic communities of Iberia
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope research on past populations in the Iberian Neolithic has emphasized the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. This study provides the first isotopic insights into the diet and subsistence economy of Early and Middle Neolithic populations from open-air sites in interior north-central Iberia. We present bone collagen carbon (?13C) and nitrogen (?15N) isotope ratios for 44 humans and 33 animals recovered from six cem…
The Bell Beaker multiple burial pit of La Atalayuela (La Rioja, Spain)
Seasonal shepherds' settlements in mountain areas from Neolithic to present
New radiocarbon dating and demographic insights into San Juan ante Portam Latinam, a possible Late Neolithic war grave in North‐Central Iberia
OBJECTIVES: San Juan ante Portam Latinam is one of a small number of European Neolithic sites meeting many of the archaeological criteria expected for a mass grave, and furthermore presents evidence for violent conflict. This study aims to differentiate between what is potentially a single episode of deposition, versus deposition over some centuries, or, alternatively, that resulting from a combination of catastrophic and attritional mortality. T…
Infant and childhood diet at the passage tomb of Alto de la Huesera (north-central Iberia) from bone collagen and sequential dentine isotope composition
During the Late Neolithic (ca. 3500-2900 cal BC), the Rioja Alavesa region of north-central Spain witnessed great demographic pressure and social unrest, manifested as widespread violent conflict. Drawing upon the ethnographic literature, it is possible that this situation impacted upon child-rearing practices, both through food shortages and differential parental investment, favouring male infants. Here, carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable …
New Evidence of Early Chalcolithic Interpersonal Violence in the Middle Ebro Valley (Spain)
Two new cases of Early Chalcolithic arrowhead injuries are described. They come from the funerary site of Las Yurdinas II (Basque Country, Spain), a rock shelter with a little swallet where at least 90 subjects were interred. The lesions are located in a right humerus and a left ulna belonging to adult individuals, one of whom is a male, and both show signs of healing. Other possible signs of violence have been found in the collection, including …

Los resultados muestran una cercanía temporal entre el depósito y la cremación d…
Demographic differences between funerary caves and megalithic graves of northern S panish L ate N eolithic/Early Chalcolithic
OBJECTIVES: The study focuses on the estimation of demographic parameters of Late Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic (mid 4th-early 3rd millenniums cal. BC) burial sites from the La Rioja region (Ebro valley, northern Spain) to identify demographic characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The human remains come from three caves (Las Yurdinas II, Peña Larga, and La Peña de Marañón) and three megalithic graves (Alto de la Huesera, San Martín, and Peña Gue…
An Arrowhead Injury in a Late Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic Human Cuneiform from the Rockshelter of La Peña de Marañón (Navarre, Spain)
The current paper describes a projectile injury found among human remains recovered from La Peña de Marañón, a small natural rockshelter located in a limestone cliff hanging over the Ega River (Navarre, northern Spain), very close to other well-known sites with similar evidence (San Juan ante Portam Latinam, Longar, Las Yurdinas II). The site was used as burial place during the Late Neolithic/Early Chalcolithic, and comprises a burnt bone assembl…
