Geomorphological evolution and mapping of the littoral of Asturias and Cantabria (Northern Spain) in the area of El Pindal Cave: Relations between coastline and karstic morphologies
Along the northern littoral of the Iberian Peninsula, from Cuerres (Asturias) to Oyambre (Cantabria) there are caves, such as El Pindal (World Heritage List). Two geomorphologic maps have been prepared: a general scaled 1:25000, and a detail one of the cave, with erosional and depositional landforms geomorphologic units. A relative Quaternary chronology for the depositional landforms, uses colour spots. Marine morphologies suitable for determinin…

Geo‐environmental evaluation for the preventive conservation of open‐air archaeological sites: The case of the Roman Necropolis of Carmona (Spain)
The Necropolis of Carmona, which has more than 600 tombs carved in calcarenites, is among the most important Roman burial sites preserved in southern Spain. The tombs in the Necropolis show severe alteration and multiple weathering processes after being excavated at the end of the nineteenth century without a preventive conservation plan. The archaeological site shows strong anthropic modifications related to different excavation stages and in re…

A New Date for the Neanderthals From El Sidrón Cave (Asturias, Northern Spain)
Torres et al . (2010 ) published a series of radiocarbon, AAR, ESR and OSL dates from the site of El Sidrón, northern Spain, which is notable for the discovery of the partial remains of 12 Neanderthals. Whilst the non‐radiocarbon methods suggested an age beyond 32 600–46 300 years, direct radiocarbon dates on the human fossils were inconsistent, ranging between 10 000 and 50 000 bp . This study uses the ultrafiltration pre‐treatment protocol to o…
The Technological and Typological Behaviour of a Neanderthal Group From El Sidrón Cave (Asturias, Spain)
This paper presents the first detailed analysis of the lithic industry from El Sidrón Cave. Previously we have published other works concerning Anthropology and Palaeogenetics. The lithic assemblage contains 415 artefacts coming from both unofficial and official excavations and is largely flake‐based. The raw material derives from the immediate cave environment, and is mostly chert, with quartzite in a lesser proportion. To date, 67 artefacts hav…
Dating of the Hominid ( Homo Neanderthalensis ) Remains Accumulation From El Sidrón Cave (Piloña, Asturias, North Spain): An Example of a Multi‐methodological Approach to the Dating of Upper Pleistoce…
The age of Neanderthal remains and associated sediments from El Sidrón cave has been obtained through different dating methods ( 14 CAMS, U/TH, OSL, ESR and AAR) and samples (charcoal debris, bone, tooth dentine, stalagmitic flowstone, carbonate‐rich sediments, sedimentary quartz grains, tooth enamel and land snail shells). Detrital Th contamination rendered Th/U dating analyses of flowstone unreliable. Recent 14 C contamination produced spurious…
Analysis of potential direct insolation as a degradation factor of cave paintings in Villar del Humo, Cuenca, Central Spain
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of direct sunlight on eleven given points of interest in Villar del Humo (Cuenca, Central Spain), and to determine to what extent this direct insolation, which is affected by both the regional and the local geomorphological configuration, influences the state and type of degradation of the paintings or of the host rock. The analysis of potential direct insolation with geographical information syst…
Paleobiology and comparative morphology of a late Neandertal sample from El Sidrón, Asturias, Spain
Fossil evidence from the Iberian Peninsula is essential for understanding Neandertal evolution and history. Since 2000, a new sample ≈43,000 years old has been systematically recovered at the El Sidrón cave site (Asturias, Spain). Human remains almost exclusively compose the bone assemblage. All of the skeletal parts are preserved, and there is a moderate occurrence of Middle Paleolithic stone tools. A minimum number of eight individuals are repr…
La sierra de Atapuerca durante el Holoceno: Datos preliminares sobre las ocupaciones de la Edad del Bronce en la Cueva de El Mirador (Ibeas de Juarros, Burgos)
Las excavaciones arqueológicas iniciadas en 1999 en la cueva de El Mirador de la sierra de Atapuerca han permitido documentar hasta el momento una sucesión estratigráfica holocena de unos 2,5 m de potencia, formada por niveles del Neolítico y de la Edad del Bronce. Los datos preliminares sobre las ocupaciones de la Edad del Bronce señalan el uso de la cueva como redil, zona de hábitat y espacio sepulcral. Durante su uso como redil se llevó a cabo…
