  • Gift of the Mamelukes

    Open AccessDolores Carmen Morales-Muñiz, Arturo Morales Muñiz et al.ARTICLEArchaeofauna2024References: 3

    The number of exotic animal species that were introduced in Iberia during the Middle Ages constitute a defectively documented area of research, mostly addressed through historiographic methods. In this paper we evidence that even in the case of large, exotic animals exchanged as gifts among dignitaries the documentary data can be painfully incomplete. This is the case of the animal embassy that the Mamluk sultan Baybars al Bunduqdari sent in 1261…

  • The origins and spread of domestic horses from the Western Eurasian steppes

    Open AccessPablo Librado, Naveed Khan et al.ARTICLENature2021

    Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence of bridling, milking and corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 . Other longstanding candidate regions for horse domestication, such as Iberia 5 and Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, the genetic,…

  • The medieval fisheries of Galicia (Northwestern Iberia)

    Open AccessEufrasia Roselló‐izquierdo, Eufrasia Roselló-Izquierdo et al.ARTICLEArchaeofauna2021Cited by: 1References: 2

    The origin and development of the Iberian Medieval fisheries is a poorly documented phenomenon both from the standpoint of historical (documentary) and material (archaeological) evidence. Such dearth of knowledge can be explained in terms of proximal (i.e., a deficient retrieval of fish remains) and ultimate causes. Among the latter, the Muslim invasion, that lasted ca. 800 years of the “medieval millennium” in the Iberian Peninsula, needs to be …

  • Fish- and Shellmiddens from Galicia (Northwest Spain)

    Open AccessEduardo González-Gómez De Agüero, Carlos Fernández-Rodríguez et al.ARTICLEHumanities2019

    The physiographical features of the Galician sea, in particular its temperature, marine currents and plankton richness, have turned its waters into one of the most biologically diversified marine regions of the planet. The 1500 km of shorelines from this Northwest Iberian region are dotted with rías (Galician fjords) where settlements devoted to fishing and trade have existed since prehistoric times. These activities left abundant testimonies in …

    Open AccessMiguel Cortés Sánchez, María Dolores Simón Vallejo et al.ARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2016References: 7

    En este trabajo presentamos el estudio arqueológico, paleontológico, tafonómico, cronológico y geoquímico de una valva de ostra hallada en la cueva de La Pileta. El ejemplar procede de depósitos fosilíferos neógenos distantes más de 10 km del yacimiento. Una vez adaptada, la concha fue empleada como lámpara portátil. La cronología 14C/AMS de la costra carbonatada que sellaba la cubeta nos remite al periodo Gravetiense. Según diversos indicios en …

  • Gihayu

    Eufrasia Roselló‐izquierdo, Eufrasia Roselló-Izquierdo et al.ARTICLEPaléorient2005Cited by: 2References: 1

    An overview of the faunal assemblage retrieved during preliminary excavations of the Neolithic site of Gihayu is presented. The analysis, the first of its kind carried out on a site from Yemen, reveals various similarities and differences with contemporary sites in Oman on the eastern corner of the Arabian Sea. In this site, a heavy reliance on marine resources is noted that testifies both to the collecting of shellfish as well as the fishing of …
