Seafaring megaliths
Mollusc collection and Holocene palaeogeographical evolution in a southwestern iberian estuary
The malacological analysis of the Cañada Honda shell midden (Tinto-Odiel estuary, SW Spain) has allowed an approximation of the palaeo biodiversity of this sector during the Mesolithic. During this period, the progressive marine transgression caused the flooding of this estuary, coinciding with an initial intensive capture of the bivalves Lutraria and Ruditapes decussatus in the northern and southern sector of this site, respectively. In a second…
Gastrochaenolites as Palaeoenvironmental Information Traps
In the Mio-Pliocene calcareous sandstone slabs used as capstones at La Pastora tholos in the Copper Age megasite of Valencina de la Concepción-Castilleja de Guzmán (SW Spain), marine bioerosion structures produced in the 3rd millennium BCE were recognised. In this work, we focus on the perforations made by the lithophage bivalve Petricola lithophaga, called Gastrochaenolites, specifically on its functionality as a ‘trap’ of sediment of the enviro…
Choosing the site, getting the stones, building the dolmens
The geoarchaeological study focuses on the lithological characterization and provenance determination of the rocks of the El Pozuelo dolmens. The difficulty of identifying volcanic rocks in the intensely altered and deformed environment of the Iberian Pyrite Belt has required the implementation of a research methodology combining the archaeological and geological analysis of the megaliths and the area surrounding the Los Llanetes group. A total o…
Environmental Implications and Chalcolithic Ornamental Use of Marine Barnacle Shells Present in the Tholos of ‘La Pastora’ (Valencina de la Concepción, Sevilla, Spain)
The study of a set of marine arthropod shells from an archaeological excavation carried out in 1991–1992 in the tholos of La Pastora (Cooper Age Mega-site of Valencina-Castilleja, S Spain), has highlighted the environmental implications and ornamental use as beads not cited so far for this purpose. It is the barnacle species Chthamalus montagui Southward, 1976 Southward, A. J. 1976. “On the Taxonomic Status and Distribution of Chthamalus stellatu…
El tholos de La Pastora, una nueva perspectiva a partir del análisis arqueológico de su construcción
En el túmulo, junto a la nueva entrada artificial (la de su descubrimiento), en la pendiente occidental, debajo de una gran losa y en un recipiente cerámico se encontraron las 30 jabalinas
Natural “megalithic art” at Valencina (Seville)
Assembling the Dead, Gathering the Living
The great site of Valencina de la Concepción, near Seville in the lower Guadalquivir valley of southwest Spain, is presented in the context of debate about the nature of Copper Age society in southern Iberia as a whole. Many aspects of the layout, use, character and development of Valencina remain unclear, just as there are major unresolved questions about the kind of society represented there and in southern Iberia, from the late fourth to the l…
Marine bioerosion in rocks of the prehistoric tholos of La Pastora (Valencina de la Concepción, Seville, Spain)
Ostracods as Tsunami Tracers in Holocene Sequences
This review analyses the ostracod record in Holocene tsunami deposits, using an overview of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami impact on its recent populations and the associated tsunamigenic deposits, together with results from numerous investigations of other Holocene sequences. Different features such as the variability of the local assemblages, population density, species diversity, age population structure (e.g., percentages of adults and juvenil…
Archaeological, Palynological and Geological Contributions to Landscape Reconstruction in the Alluvial Plain of the Guadalquivir River at San Bernardo, Sevilla (Spain)
