  • Abrigo de La Viña (La Manzaneda, Oviedo, Asturias). Estudio de sus grabados parietales

    Open AccessMaría González-Pumariega Solis, Marco De La Rasilla Vives et al.ARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2017

    Se presentan en este trabajo los grabados paleolíticos del abrigo de La Viña (La Manzaneda, Oviedo, Asturias). A partir de la fotogrametría realizada por J. Fortea a finales de la d.cada de 1990, se documentan los grabados exteriores de surco profundo conservados en el gran frente parietal que protege el asentamiento. Se incluyen los dos horizontes gráficos: uno, auriñaciense, no figurativo y anicónico; el otro, graveto-solutrense, que incorpora …

  • Asturias en la geografía neandertal y musteriense de la península ibérica = Asturias in the Iberian Peninsula Neanderthal and Mousterian geography

    Open AccessMarco De La Rasilla Vives, David Santamaría Álvarez et al.ARTICLEEspacio Tiempo y Forma Serie I…2016

    We present a synthesis from the existing data and results in some Asturian sites related, on one hand, with the chronology problems and taphonomical processes and, on the other hand, to the novelties in different matters around our Neanderthal ancestors. Additionally, we stand out the necessity to check thoroughly some important Cantabrian sites concerning the raw material types present in their lithic collections, to verify the reosive discordan…

  • Datando el final del Paleolítico medio en la Península Ibérica. Problemas metodológicos y límites de la interpretación

    Open AccessDavid Santamaría Álvarez, Marco De La Rasilla VivesARTICLETrabajos de Prehistoria2013Cited by: 2References: 18

    Este artículo examina, primero, algunos problemas metodológicos relacionados con la datación absoluta/numérica de los niveles arqueológicos (fiabilidad del radiocarbono, contaminación de las muestras...), con especial énfasis en la transición del Paleolítico medio al superior (ca. 40.000- 30.000 años BP), y se evalúan los efectos potenciales de la contaminación con carbono moderno de las muestras arqueológicas. Como corolario se exponen algunos r…

  • A New Date for the Neanderthals From El Sidrón Cave (Asturias, Northern Spain)

    Open AccessR E Wood, Rachel Wood et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2013Cited by: 54References: 35

    Torres et al . (2010 ) published a series of radiocarbon, AAR, ESR and OSL dates from the site of El Sidrón, northern Spain, which is notable for the discovery of the partial remains of 12 Neanderthals. Whilst the non‐radiocarbon methods suggested an age beyond 32 600–46 300 years, direct radiocarbon dates on the human fossils were inconsistent, ranging between 10 000 and 50 000 bp . This study uses the ultrafiltration pre‐treatment protocol to o…

  • Genetic evidence for patrilocal mating behavior among Neandertal groups

    Open AccessCarles Lalueza-Fox, A Rosas et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2011

    The remains of 12 Neandertal individuals have been found at the El Sidrón site (Asturias, Spain), consisting of six adults, three adolescents, two juveniles, and one infant. Archaeological, paleontological, and geological evidence indicates that these individuals represent all or part of a contemporaneous social group of Neandertals, who died at around the same time and later were buried together as a result of a collapse of an underground karst.…

  • Brief communication

    Open AccessAlmudena Estalrrich, A Rosas et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…2011Cited by: 12References: 21

    The distribution of subvertical grooves on interproximal wear dental facets from the El Sidrón (Asturias, Spain) Neandertals is described and analyzed. Out of 93 teeth, 64.5% present subvertical grooves, including a high frequency (50%) on the anterior dentition. Contrary to some studies, subvertical grooves from adjacent facets perfectly overlap each other and do not interdigitate, probably forming small channels. Both the facet and the groove s…

  • The Technological and Typological Behaviour of a Neanderthal Group From El Sidrón Cave (Asturias, Spain)

    Open AccessDavid Santamaría, David Santamaría Álvarez et al.ARTICLEOxford Journal of Archaeology2010Cited by: 16References: 14

    This paper presents the first detailed analysis of the lithic industry from El Sidrón Cave. Previously we have published other works concerning Anthropology and Palaeogenetics. The lithic assemblage contains 415 artefacts coming from both unofficial and official excavations and is largely flake‐based. The raw material derives from the immediate cave environment, and is mostly chert, with quartzite in a lesser proportion. To date, 67 artefacts hav…

  • Dating of the Hominid ( Homo Neanderthalensis ) Remains Accumulation From El Sidrón Cave (Piloña, Asturias, North Spain)

    Open AccessTrinidad Torres, José E Ortiz et al.ARTICLEArchaeometry2010Cited by: 41References: 53

    The age of Neanderthal remains and associated sediments from El Sidrón cave has been obtained through different dating methods ( 14 CAMS, U/TH, OSL, ESR and AAR) and samples (charcoal debris, bone, tooth dentine, stalagmitic flowstone, carbonate‐rich sediments, sedimentary quartz grains, tooth enamel and land snail shells). Detrital Th contamination rendered Th/U dating analyses of flowstone unreliable. Recent 14 C contamination produced spurious…

  • Paleobiology and comparative morphology of a late Neandertal sample from El Sidrón, Asturias, Spain

    Open AccessA Rosas, Cayetana Martinez-Maza et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2006

    Fossil evidence from the Iberian Peninsula is essential for understanding Neandertal evolution and history. Since 2000, a new sample ≈43,000 years old has been systematically recovered at the El Sidrón cave site (Asturias, Spain). Human remains almost exclusively compose the bone assemblage. All of the skeletal parts are preserved, and there is a moderate occurrence of Middle Paleolithic stone tools. A minimum number of eight individuals are repr…
