Atapuerca and the Media: The Newsworthiness of Archaeology and the Social Role of Journalism
Insights into neanderthal bird hunting practices during MIS5-3: Taphonomical analysis of avian remains from Valdegoba cave (Burgos, Spain)
Small-prey exploitation has been considered an important component of socio-economic development of past human groups. Consequently, several studies have set the focus on taphonomical analysis of small animals such as birds or leporids. Nevertheless, human groups are not the only agents that can produce bone accumulations, as archaeological assemblages can also be the result of non-human predators and natural phenomena. For this reason, it is ess…
Los Enebrales rock-shelter (Tamajón, Guadalajara, Spain): First Gravettian site in central Iberia
The stratigraphy and materials from a survey carried out in 1994 and 1995 in a rock-shelter in Tamajón (southwestern Iberian Central Range) are studied here. The Pleistocene deposits were generated by high-energy channelled fluvial flows and dense currents of debris flow and mud flow type. The recovered lithic industry, created mainly in low-quality local materials, can be associated with Gravettian technocomplexes. Three radiocarbon dates obtain…
Science Communication During the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis: Archaeology and Archaeological Heritage in Atapuerca, Spain
The COVID-19 pandemic seriously affected spaces of cultural heritage that play a significant role in the extension of scientific culture. This document addresses its effect on public communication of the archaeological site of Atapuerca (Spain), World Heritage (UNESCO). It contributes to the scarce production of information from primary sources on public communication of science in archaeology and archaeological heritage. A qualitative investigat…

Aves de caza. Estudio tafonómico y zooarqueológico de los restos avianos de los niveles musterienses de Pié Lombard (Alpes-Maritimes, Francia)
El yacimiento musteriense de Pi Lombard (Alpes-Maritimes, Francia) est localizado en un entorno montaoso de medio rango y posee un conjunto seo rico y diversificado en el cual los restos de aves son abundantes. Su estudio tafonmico y zooarqueolgico brinda cuestiones importantes sobre la explotacin de aves por parte de rapaces, carnvoros y neandertales, y aade otro yacimiento en el cual se lleva a cabo la
La tecnología lítica neandertal de Valdegoba en el contexto del Paleolítico medio de la Meseta norte
En este artículo se presenta el primer análisis completo de la tecnología lítica en estratigrafía de Valdegoba, uno de los lugares clave del Paleolítico medio en la Cuenca del Duero. Valdegoba es un yacimiento del Estadio Isotópico Marino (MIS) 3 que ha aportado los únicos restos óseos neandertales en este entorno, así como evidencias muy relevantes sobre el poblamiento de los últimos neandertales. En particular, destacan sus respuestas técnicas …

Hunted or Scavenged Neanderthals? Taphonomic Approach to Hominin Fossils with Carnivore Damage
Carnivore damage on Neanderthal fossils is a much more common taphonomic modification than previously thought. Its presence could have different explanations, including predatory attacks or scavenging scenarios, which are both situations with important implications concerning Neanderthal behaviour. In the present paper, we analyse several Neanderthal hominin fossils from a taphonomic and forensic perspective in order to infer the nature of the mo…

World Heritage and the Local Community: The Case of Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain)
As social constructions, heritage properties require the participation of all their stakeholders, especially in the case of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) World Heritage Site is used as a test case for assessing the fulfilment of the local community’s development expectations, perceptions, and values. This paper is the first formal attempt to ascertain the opinions of residents in the surrounding villages — Ibeas de Ju…

Taphonomic modifications produced by modern brown bears (Ursus arctos)
Actualism has been a fundamental tool in taphonomy. The knowledge of accumulation patterning of modern faunal allows us to interpret the activity of different actors in the archaeological record and to reconstruct the behaviour of preterit animals and humans in which we are interested. However, until now, there are few works that include bone modifications made by bears amongst those made by carnivores.Most data about bone modifications made by b…

Redistribution of archaeological assemblages in plowzones
Archaeological surface surveys have located open‐air sites on cropland in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain). To what degree agricultural disturbances have impacted archaeological site integrity is poorly defined and may greatly affect interpretations of prehistoric land use. This paper presents the results of three experiments concerned with the effects of tillage on artifact distribution, focusing specifically on lateral and vertical artif…

Hundidero: Mis 4 open air neanderthal occupations in Sierra de Atapuerca
Many caves in Sierra de Atapuerca contain archaeological and anthropological remains from the Early Pleistocene until the Holocene. The fi rst half of the Late Pleistocene (MIS 4 and 3) has only been detected in open air deposits discovered on the basis of total cover surface surveys. Excavation at one of them, Hundidero, began in 2004. The Middle Paleolithic tool record spans the period between 70 ka and 56 ka. The technological and typological …

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…

An Early Pleistocene hominin mandible from Atapuerca-TD6, Spain
We present a mandible recovered in 2003 from the Aurora Stratum of the TD6 level of the Gran Dolina site (Sierra de Atapuerca, northern Spain). The specimen, catalogued as ATD6-96, adds to the hominin sample recovered from this site in 1994–1996, and assigned to Homo antecessor . ATD6-96 is the left half of a gracile mandible belonging to a probably female adult individual with premolars and molars in place. This mandible shows a primitive struct…
