From bone chemistry to human demography: Uncovering copper age society at Valencina (c. 2900–2650 BC)
First-ever multi-method approach to Iberian Copper Age society, including standard bioarchaeological approach, amelogenin peptide analysis, stable strontium analysis, aDNA and total mercury analysis. • Based on a sample of 126 well-dated and well-contextualized individuals from the Valencina Copper Age mega-site. • Discussion of results included burial rites and gestures, sex and age demographics, pathologies, mobility, biological kinship, ancest…
Herd management and animal catchment areas at the taula enclosure of Binissafullet site (Menorca, Spain): A multi-isotopic approach
This study presents the first isotopic analysis of livestock from a taula sanctuary dating from the Second Iron Age (c. 550-123 BCE) in Menorca (Spain). These emblematic structures contain the remains of animals, evidence of wine consumption, and other artefacts. Consequently, these structures are interpreted as sanctuaries or places where social cohesion was reinforced. The archaeological record reveals a blend of local and extra-insular element…
Bring your animals: Provenance and diet from the Iron Age mass animal sacrifice at Casas del Turuñuelo (Guareña, Spain)
A new strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape of the Iberian Peninsula is provided with an open-access R script. • Carbon and oxygen isotopes show horses received fodder, while caprines relied on local grazing resources. • Multi-isotopic analysis offers new insights into Tartessian livestock management and animal husbandry (5th c. BCE). • Findings illuminate the scale and cultural significance of mass animal sacrifice in Iron Age Iberia. The excavations a…
Bioavailable 87 Sr/ 86 Sr variability and Bronze and Iron Ages caprine mobility on the Balearic Islands (Spain)
This paper presents the most extensive 87Sr/86Sr datasets from Late Prehistory contexts in addition to bioavailable 87Sr/86Sr values for baseline characterization on the Balearic Islands. A total of 149 caprine dental enamel samples from Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera islands (Spain), and 35 environmental baseline samples covering the main geologies of these islands are presented here. In addition, a combination of strontium and oxygen sequent…
Carefully sourced, carefully managed: Multi-isotopic analysis from Bronze and Iron Age equid teeth from Can Roqueta (Barcelona, Spain)
Equids played an important role in the development of communication in past societies, and were part of the exchanges between populations. The multi-isotopic study (strontium, carbon and oxygen isotopes) conducted on equid teeth from Bronze and Early Iron Age Can Roqueta suggests that animals originate from diverse locations and their diet was carefully managed. The enriched oxygen and carbon isotopic ratios in equid teeth compared with other tax…
Tracing Mobility Patterns of Buried Species of the Late Iron Age Funerary Staggered Turriform of Son Ferrer (Calvià, Spain)
This is the first mobility 87 Sr/ 86 Sr analysis in human remains made on the Balearic Islands. Eight human individuals buried at the same Late Iron Age funerary chamber of Son Ferrer site (Calvià, Mallorca) have been sampled for strontium and oxygen isotopic analysis ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr and δ 18 O). The study includes strontium and oxygen isotopic analysis of domestic mammals buried in the same Funerary Area (FA1) together with present-day vegetation…
High resolution paleo-environmental changes during the Sapropel 1 in the North Ionian Sea, central Mediterranean
High-resolution paleoceanographic reconstruction of surface water properties during the most recent Sapropel event (S1) has been carried out by means of quantitative analyses of planktonic foraminiferal assemblages, planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotopes (δ 18 O) and XRF elemental data from a 655 m depth core recovered in the North Ionian Sea. The results show that the S1 interval presents two distinctive warm phases (S1a and S1b), separated by…
La doble mirada del sujeto informal en Cartas a Crispina de Lamberto Roque Hernández
Este artículo aborda el trabajo de Lamberto Roque Hernández, un inmigrante Zapoteco que ha escrito Cartas a Crispina y Here I am.Escrita en California, su obra cuenta la compleja experiencia migratoria de la diáspora oaxaqueña.El artículo se centra en su primera publicación, Cartas a Crispina, la cual presenta una serie de micro-relatos ficticios y reflexiones autobiográficas sobre la experiencia migratoria en la era post-911.En su conjunto, Cart…
Creating Spaces of Transborder Play: Indigenous Mexican Migrants in California and the Game of Pelota Mixteca
This photo-essay documents the indigenous Mexican ballgame pelota mixteca and the way it is played by indigenous Mexican migrants in California. The focus is on the migrant experience, the role pelota mixteca plays in creating and maintaining transnational/transborder communities, whose members live on both sides of the Mexico/US border, and the way it creates spaces for these communities, in which they can perpetuate their own culture, in a coun…
Climate change and coastal hydrographic response along the Atlantic Iberian margin (Tagus Prodelta and Muros Ría) during the last two millennia
The Tagus Prodelta (W Portugal) and the Muros Ría (NW Spain) are areas of high deposition rates registering high-resolution palaeoclimatic records for western Iberia. We compare the climatic conditions of the two areas over the last two millennia based on proxies of temperature (sea surface temperatures and oxygen isotopes), continental input (grain size, iron and magnetic susceptibility) and productivity (inorganic and organic carbon, carbon iso…
