  • Technological variability in El Castillo cave during MIS 4

    Open AccessIrene González-Molina, José-Manuel Maíllo-Fernández et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2024Cited by: 3References: 43

    The variability in Neanderthal behaviour is one of the key debates in Middle Palaeolithic archaeology. Here we present the analysis of the lithic industry from a unit at one of Europe’s main Palaeolithic sites: El Castillo Cave. Unit XXf1.1, dated to the beginning of MIS 4, is an example of human occupation during a period of population decrease. In this assemblage, the technology is organised with the aim of obtaining the largest possible blanks…

  • An overview of the Mesolithic in the northwest Atlantic and inland area of the Iberian Peninsula

    Open AccessNatividad Fuertes-Prieto, Eduardo Ramil Rego et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2023

    This paper reviews the Mesolithic in the northwest Atlantic and inland area of the Iberian Peninsula and it is considered in the overall context of the rest of the Peninsula. The Cantabrian Mountains are the northern boundary of the study area, which excludes the adjoining coastal area. In addition to the geographical, geological and environmental settings, the chronology and human remains are also reviewed, paying special attention to the specif…

  • Ka human teeth from El Castillo Cave (Cantabria, Spain) Mid-Upper Paleolithic transition

    Open AccessM D Garralda, José-Manuel Maíllo-Fernández et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Cited by: 4References: 73

    Three deciduous tooth crowns were found in Unit 18B in El Castillo Cave (Spain), considered a transitional Middle-Upper Paleolithic Unit with numerous14C dates with means earlier than > 42-44 ka cal. BP. Our goal was to describe these teeth, compare them to Neanderthal, Mousterian Modern Humans, and Early-Mid Upper Paleolithic fossils (through scatterplots andZ-scores), and analyze their morphology. The teeth consist of deciduous and isolated cro…

  • Lithic Production in the Final Mesolithic in the Cantabrian Mountains: Levels III and IV at La Uña Cave (León, N Spain)

    Diego Herrero-Alonso, Natividad Fuertes-Prieto et al.ARTICLELithic Technology2021Cited by: 3References: 5

    The lithic operational chains at the Mesolithic site of La Uña (León, N Spain) have been analysed and reconstructed through a joint study of the raw material provenance and technological characteristics of the assemblage. Differences in the management of each raw material have been observed, and three degrees of integrity of the chaîne opératoire (complete, incomplete and broken) have been differentiated. In addition, two main production targets …

  • The Escalada Formation: Characterization of a potential chert supply source in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain) during prehistory

    Open AccessNatividad Fuertes-Prieto, M Natividad Fuertes-Prieto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2016

    A study of the chert nodules found in the Escalada Formation (Carboniferous, Ponga region, Cantabrian Zone) was carried out as a means to characterise a number of lithic raw materials found in several prehistoric sites of the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain). This study comprises fieldwork aimed at locating the outcrops and obtaining samples. Some selected samples from two localities were used for both petrological (macroscopic and microscopic ana…

  • Chert from the Vegamián Formation: A new raw-material supply source in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain) during prehistory

    Open AccessDiego Herrero-Alonso, Antonio Tarriño-Vinagre et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2016

    This work provides the keys to the mineralogical and geochemical characterization of black chert from the Vegamián Fm. This formation crops out throughout the whole of the Cantabrian Zone (of Palaeozoic age), one of the geological zones of the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain). The geographical distribution of this formation is very wide, surfacing in the provinces of León, Asturias, Palencia and Cantabria.This variety of chert had been included wi…

  • “Mucientes Chert” in the Northern Iberian Plateau (Spain)

    Open AccessNatividad Fuertes-Prieto, M Natividad Fuertes-Prieto et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2014

    The so-called “Mucientes chert" is a variety that appears in the central area of the Iberian North Plateau, in theDueroBasin. It is widely known in the geological and archaeological literature and its use for knapping was especially important in Prehistory. From a macroscopic point of view it is a nodular chert, with white and very porous cortex, and brown to blackish or beige colour in the inner part.In this work we carried out a more accurate p…
