Complementarity between morphological and proteomic taxonomic identification methods of Late Upper Palaeolithic and Early Neolithic bone fragments from the NE Iberian Peninsula
Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) has been widely used for taxonomic identification of fragmented bones, yet most direct comparisons with morphological identifications originate from European Palaeolithic contexts. This study provides a general assessment of the two taxonomic identification approaches of one Late Upper Palaeolithic and three Early Neolithic bone assemblages, all located in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula. The results…
Re-thinking the preservation biases impacting the Neolithic plant record in the Iberian Peninsula
Seeds and fruits are frequently recovered at archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula, mainly preserved in a charred state. Plant assemblages recovered from waterlogged and desiccated contexts show that charring leads to a biased representation of certain taxa, as not all plants are equally likely to become charred or survive charring. For instance, wild fruits rarely require processing and are often eaten raw, so their presence in the recor…
D hypothetical reconstruction of a Neolithic hut from the waterlogged site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)
This paper presents a hypothetical digital reconstruction of a prehistoric wooden hut from the archaeological site of La Draga (Banyoles, Northeast Iberia). La Draga is a waterlogged Early Neolithic settlement (ca. 7300-6700 years ago), located on the eastern shore of lake Banyoles, and presents an extraordinary preservation of wood and vegetal materials usually not recovered in prehistoric archaeology. The wooden architectonical elements recover…
An Experimental and Methodological Approach of Plant Fibres in Dental Calculus
Perishable organic raw materials such as plant fibres have been widely used since the time of the earliest human groups, although their poor preservation limits our knowledge of their use. Filling this gap requires a focused search for plant fibre evidence in non-perishable materials. Since teeth are sometimes used in fibre processing, evidence of fibres can be sought in mineralised bacterial plaque, and therefore, its analysis can potentially be…
Go With the Flow
Micromorphological analysis of the archaeological sediments at the Neolithic (5300–4800 cal BC ) lacustrine site of La Draga (Lake Banyoles) is used to reconstruct the depositional events that formed the site's stratigraphic sequence. By identifying different microfacies types, we have detected occupational surfaces across various sectors of the site and decoded the settlement's formation processes. These findings are discussed in the context of …

Antorchas en Las Sociedades Cazadoras-Recolectoras Fueguino-Patagónicas
Este trabajo examina el uso de la pirotecnologa mvil entre los grupos cazadores-recolectores-pescadores fueguino-patagnicos, quienes desarrollaron dispositivos como antorchas para adaptarse a las condiciones climticas extremas de Tierra del Fuego.Este territorio fue ocupado, hasta la llegada de las poblaciones de origen europeo, por grupos cazadores-recolectores desde hace aproximadamente 12.000 aos en lo que hoy es Isla Grande de Tierra del Fueg…
Shaping wood in the Canary Islands
The first settlers of the Canary Islands arrived at this archipelago from northern Africa between the 2nd and 5th centuries CE. These communities probably knew metallurgy in their area of origin, although an adaptation process must have taken place for the successful development of woodworking strategies based on stone/bone technologies in a volcanic archipelago. In this paper, the first experimental program focusing on Prehispanic indigenous woo…
Water Table Fluctuations and Degradation Risk Assessment at the Waterlogged Site of La Draga (Lake Banyoles, Spain)
Pile dwelling sites in Mediterranean lakes face increasing threats to their conservation and safeguarding from climate change and its associated impacts. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of climate change and water table fluctuations on the preservation of archaeological layers, with a particular focus on organic layers and wooden remains. Based on a combination of lake water level fluctuation analysis, water ta…
Describing the neolithic cord production process
Cordage is related to daily activities and as such has been a basic element for self-suffiency since Prehistory. Due to the lack of their preservation in most archaeological contexts, the knowledge of these technologies in the past is limited. This paper analyses the production process through an experimental program of the cordage assemblage from La Draga (Girona, Spain; 5207–4862 cal BC). The site is an Early Neolithic site from north-eastern I…

Experimentación en Torno Al Proyecto De Investigación Sobre El Yacimiento Neolítico De La Draga (Banyoles-Girona)
Experimental programs focused on various techno-functional issues have been carried out for more than a decade around the research project of the La Draga lacustrine Neolithic site (Banyoles-Girona).The extraordinary conservation of archaeological materials made from both inorganic and organic materials has allowed the development of programs that have replicated technical processes of production and use of different tools and artifacts of bone, …
Los objetos elaborados con fibras vegetales del Neolítico Antiguo de Coves del Fem, Ulldemolins (Tarragona)
Los objetos manufacturados con materias orgánicas raramente se conservan excepto bajo condiciones ambientales específicas, ya sea en medios de sequedad constante, en contextos anaeróbicos sumergidos, bajo congelación o por carbonización. Por ello, las técnicas de cestería y cordelería, así como las materias primas utilizadas están escasamente documentadas en el registro arqueológico del Neolítico peninsular. Se aporta aquí nueva información acerc…

El uso de trillos durante la Edad del Cobre en la Meseta española. Análisis traceológico de una colección de denticulados de sílex procedentes del ‘recinto de fosos’ de El Casetón de la Era (Villalba …
La presencia de grandes piezas líticas talladas bifacialmente es una constante en los contextos de la Edad del Cobre en el interior de la Península Ibérica. El brillo apreciable a simple vista en su filo denticulado ha sido atribuido a su uso como hoz. El estudio que ahora presentamos contradice parcialmente esta propuesta, ya que la mayor parte de las piezas halladas en el yacimiento de El Casetón de la Era (Villalba de los Alcores, Valladolid) …
