Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
Bone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena species, as a valuable source of paleoecological and ethological information. Evidence suggests that their pre…
Un hacha pulimentada reutilizada en el asentamiento vettón del Cerro de la Mesa (Alcolea de Tajo, Toledo)
Este artículo presenta una herramienta lítica procedente del asentamiento vettón del Cerro de la Mesa (Alcolea del Tajo, Toledo). Su diseño y función original como hacha pulimentada en algún momento de la Prehistoria Reciente fue alterada posteriormente, tal y como atestigua el dentado del filo y unas estrías laterales. Aunque la funcionalidad de este objeto en una casa de este poblado de la Edad del Hierro puede considerarse abierta, el análisis…
Investigaciones interdisciplinares en el Cerro de la Mesa (Alcolea de Tajo, Toledo). Arqueología y geofísica para la conservación del Patrimonio
Este artículo sintetiza la importancia que ha tenido el Cerro de la Mesa (Alcolea de Tajo, Toledo) en el estudio del Bronce Final y de la Edad de Hierro en la meseta central de la Península Ibérica. Dada su posición estratégica en la confluencia entre los ríos Tajo y Huso, se plantearon una serie de prospecciones con georradar para entender el yacimiento en su conjunto y comprender su urbanismo y encaje geográfico. Se concluye el trabajo resumien…
Identification of chemically altered cut marks
Cut marks are striae accidentally produced by the contact made between the edge of a cutting tool and bone surfaces by anthropogenic activity, presenting evidence of hominin carcass processing and behaviour, butchery activities or diet. Post-depositional processes can cause the alteration (chemical or mechanical) of bones surfaces, changing their composition and causing the modification of bone surfaces. Previous research has addressed the proble…
Unravelling Hominin Activities in the Zooarchaeological Assemblage of Barranco León (Orce, Granada, Spain)
Little is known about the subsistence practices of the first European settlers, mainly due to the shortage of archaeological sites in Europe older than a million years. This article contributes to the knowledge of the subsistence of the first Europeans with new zooarchaeology and taphonomic data from the Palaeolithic site of Barranco León (Orce, Granada, Spain). We present the results of the analysis of the faunal assemblages retrieved in the con…
The use of tooth marks for new research into identifying and understanding the first domestic dogs in Palaeolithic populations
The domestication of wolves is a topic of great interest. To date, the most accepted hypotheses associate this phenomenon to the end of the Upper Palaeolithic, while many propose an earlier date closer towards the Aurignacian. The latter proposal hinges on extensive research using palaeontological, morphometric, biomolecular-isotopic, genetic data and microwear contributing valuable information to the current debates. Nevertheless, few confront t…
Use of meat resources in the Early Pleistocene assemblages from Fuente Nueva 3 (Orce, Granada, Spain)
Over the last few decades, several types of evidence such as presence of hominin remains, lithic assemblages, and bones with anthropogenic surface modifications have demonstrated that early human communities inhabited the European subcontinent prior to the Jaramillo Subchron (1.07-0.98 Ma). While most studies have focused primarily on early European lithic technologies and raw material management, relatively little is known about food procurement…
