Unexpected Climate Revealed by a Middle Holocene Avian Assemblage from Fuerteventura (Canary Islands)
A group of avian species, mostly small passerines, allows us to reconstruct the landscape and general climate of an area of Fuerteventura prior to the arrival of the first humans. Many of the bird species are typical of forest environments and the edges of bodies of water, conditions incompatible with the current hot and arid climate. The record of a high number of quail as well as small flying passerines surely implies the concurrence of two typ…
Nordic irruptive birds within a Mediterranean avian assemblage at the Neanderthal and modern human site of Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona)
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…
Neanderthal Fossils, Mobile Toolkit and a Hyena Den: The Archaeological Assemblage of Lateral Gallery 1 in Cova Del Gegant (NE Iberian Peninsula)
Lateral Gallery 1 (GL1) in Cova del Gegant is a Middle Palaeolithic assemblage yielding diagnostic Neanderthal remains, together with Mousterian tools and faunal remains. It is a good archive for evaluating the environmental conditions of the coastal areas during MIS 4 and MIS 3 in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula, and also the Neanderthals’ behaviour and mobility. Here we provide a comprehensive assessment of all of the data available from GL1, s…

Nuevo examen de los grabados paleolíticos de El Pendo (Cantabria, España). Consideraciones sobre las aves del arte paleolítico de la Península Ibérica
La presencia de aves en el repertorio iconográfico del arte rupestre paleolítico es muy escasa. Desde 1907 se vienen describiendo unas figuras de alca y de rapaz (probablemente buitre) en la parte final de la cueva de El Pendo. Los autores las asignan a un momento antiguo, desde el Auriñaciense hasta el Magdaleniense inferior. Una nueva lectura del conjunto de grabados permite apuntar la presencia inequívoca de una imagen de ave, sin característi…
New excavations at the FLK Zinjanthropus site and its surrounding landscape and their behavioral implications
Renewed excavations at FLK Zinj and its surrounding landscape have yielded valuable information regarding its paleoecological situation and the prehistoric behavioral function of the site. The density of materials at the main cluster of the site excavated by Leakey contrasts with the bone and lithic scatters surrounding the site. The location of FLK Zinj, situated a few hundred meters away from a freshwater spring, would have enabled hominins acc…
Le gisement pléistocène de la « Sima del Elefante å (Sierra de Atapuerca, Espagne)
Nuevas aves fósiles del yacimiento mesopleistocénico de Ambrona (Soria, España)
Se da cuenta de seis nuevos restos fósiles avianos procedentes del yacimiento del Pleistoceno medio de Ambrona y se ofrece una lista revisada de los taxones identificados hasta ahora en Torralba y Ambrona. También, a partir de los taxones que se han reconocido hasta ahora, se hace alguna indicación sobre las condiciones paleoecológicas de la región
