Chronology of the early Pleistocene Orce and Huéscar sites (Baza Basin, SE Spain)
The Baza Basin (SE Spain) preserves one of the most complete continental records of the European early Pleistocene and is central to debates on the timing of the first human dispersals into Western Europe. This study provides an updated chronological and biochronological framework for the key sites of Orce (Fuente Nueva-1, Venta Micena, Barranco León and Fuente Nueva-3) and the nearby locality of Huéscar-1. We integrate large and small mammal bio…
Carrying Capacity, Available Meat and the Fossil Record of the Orce Sites (Baza Basin, Spain)
The Early Pleistocene sites of Orce in southeastern Spain, including Fuente Nueva-3 (FN3), Barranco León (BL) and Venta Micena (VM), provide important insights into the earliest hominin populations and Late Villafranchian large mammal communities. Dated to approximately 1.4 million years ago, FN3 and BL preserve abundant Oldowan tools, cut marks and a human primary tooth, indicating hominin activity. VM, approximately 1.6 million years old, is an…
Sharing food with hyenas
The Early Pleistocene archeological site of Fuente Nueva-3 (FN3) preserves some of the oldest evidence of hominin presence in Western Europe, including a huge assemblage of Oldowan tools and evidence of butchering and marrow processing of large mammal bones. Moreover, there is also evidence of the regular presence of carnivores at the site, including a small proportion of bones that show tooth marks, the majority of which can be attributed to the…
Development of Quaternary travertines in the carbonate mountains of the western Costa del Sol, Málaga, southern Spain
The predominantly carbonate nature of the mountains near the coast of Málaga and Marbella (Costa del Sol, southern Spain) and the presence of springs have favored the formation of travertine buildups during the Quaternary. The geomorphic characteristics of the slopes and the location of the springs have determined the development of three types of travertine growths: (1) spring travertines, located preferentially on the south mountainside, where …
Multivariate Analysis of Remains of Molluscan Foods Consumed by Latest Pleistocene and Holocene Humans in Nerja Cave, Málaga, Spain
Nerja Cave is a karstic cavity used by humans from Late Paleolithic to post-Chalcolithic times. Remains of molluscan foods in the uppermost Pleistocene and Holocene sediments were studied with cluster analysis and principal components analysis, in both Q and R modes. The results from cluster analysis distinguished interval groups mainly in accordance with chronology and distinguished assemblages of species mainly according to habitat. Significant…
