The last Acheulean at El Sotillo complex site (Ciudad Real, Spain). Features, parallels and age
Open AccessManuel Santonja, Alfredo Pérez-González et al.ARTICLEQuaternary International2026
The site of El Sotillo has several distinct stratigraphic levels containing Acheulean and Mousterian lithic tools, dated to the final third of the Middle Pleistocene and the later phases of the Upper Pleistocene. It is uncommon to find open-air sites, that preserve such intensive and recurrent human occupations in stratigraphic position over an extended time range, which underscores the complex nature of the site. Excavations carried out between …
European Large Flake Acheulean on Flint: The Transfesa Site in the Manzanares Valley (Madrid, Spain)
Open AccessJ A Martos, Susana Rubio-Jara et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2025
The Acheulean of the Iberian Peninsula and southern France share some of the technological characteristics that define the African Acheulean, such as the configuration of handaxes, cleavers and picks, mainly using flakes as supports. The existence of large flake Acheulean lithic assemblages in the middle terraces of all the fluvial valleys of the Atlantic watershed of the Iberian Peninsula allows dating the early expansion of this technocomplex c…
Reconstructing Skills and Strategies of Hominins During the Early Acheulean: Behavioral Flexibility in Handaxe Production at Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania)
Open AccessKumar Akhilesh, Susana Rubio-Jara et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2025
Technological strategies for biface manufacture adopted during the Acheulean represent a significant shift in the Lower Palaeolithic. The appearance of intentional bifacial shaping indicates the imposition of form on stone tools not seen previously. Despite this importance, there is considerable scope for research into hominin decision-making while factoring in the differential properties of varied raw materials. Here, we discuss the results of a…
Melka Kunture (alto Awash, Etiopía) entre 2.000.000 y 5.000 años
Open AccessM Mussi, Eduardo Méndez-Quintas et al.ARTICLESalduie2023
Melka Kunture es un clúster de yacimientos prehistóricos situados en el altiplano etíope, a 2.000-2.200 m sobre el nivel del mar, en la cuenca alta del río Awash. El clima es más bien fresco (temperatura media anual de 17° C) y lluvioso. Los resultados palinológicos demuestran que la vegetación durante el Pleistoceno era de tipo afromontano y, por lo tanto, diferente a la de sabana que se desarrolla en cotas más bajas. Tras casi 60 años de excava…
The interaction between large mammals and Acheulean tools during the Middle Pleistocene in the Manzanares valley (Madrid, Spain): New evidence for Santa Elena and Oxígeno sites
Open AccessIdoia Claver, J A Martos et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2023Cited by: 1References: 59
The fluvial deposits of the Manzanares and Jarama rivers present one of the largest concentrations of lithic and faunal remains of Pleistocene sites in Europe. In the Manzanares River close to the confluence of the Jarama River, the stepped terrace system disappears and gives way to the Complex Terrace of Butarque (CTB), where the sites of Santa Elena and Oxígeno are located. Different numerical dates obtained from the visible CTB's bottom sugges…
Spatial analysis of an Early Middle Palaeolithic kill/butchering site: The case of the Cuesta de la Bajada (Teruel, Spain)
Open AccessAbel Moclán, Lucía Cobo-Sánchez et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2023Cited by: 7References: 56
Kill/butchering sites are some of the most important places for understanding the subsistence strategies of hunter-gatherer groups. However, these sites are not common in the archaeological record, and they have not been sufficiently analysed in order to know all their possible variability for ancient periods of the human evolution. In the present study, we have carried out the spatial analysis of the Early Middle Palaeolithic (MIS 9-8) site of C…

A new middle Pleistocene (Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 6) cold herpetofaunal assemblage from the central Iberian Peninsula (Manzanares Valley, Madrid)

Middle Pleistocene sites that document glacials are relatively rare in the Iberian Peninsula, and as such, the composition of cold small-vertebrate assemblages is almost unknown in southwestern Mediterranean Europe. The archaeological site Estanque de Tormentas de Butarque H-02 in Villaverde, Madrid, in central Spain, recently attributed to Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 6, provides new data on cold small-vertebrate assemblages.
