What Is the Acheulean
The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia. Originally defined in the 1870s, the term Acheulean is one of the earliest and most contested classifications i…
“Literatura gris” como herramienta formativa de calidad: La experiencia del Boletín de Arqueología Experimental
El artículo examina la manera en que, a pesar de su valor académico y formativo, la llamada "literatura gris" ha sido marginada debido a la presión por publicar en inglés y en revistas de gran impacto. Sostiene que estas publicaciones, ya sean docentes o locales, contribuyen a la divulgación y al aprendizaje de investigaciones específicas. Por medio del Boletín de Arqueología Experimental, se muestra cómo los trabajos realizados por los estudiant…
Early Middle Palaeolithic Occupations Dated to MIS 7 at the Abri du Maras (Ardèche, Southeast France)
New excavations at the Abri du Maras have yielded remains of hitherto unknown deposits (layer 6) from the base of the sequence, with a small lithic and faunal series dated to MIS 7. In this paper, we investigate this occupation, undoubtedly in a cave context, before the cave gradually gave way to a shelter where the last occupations took place. The faunal assemblage accumulated through anthropic activities, and cervids are the dominant species. T…
Yacimientos simulados y arqueología experimental como herramienta de aprendizaje en Arqueología y Paleontología
Experimental archaeology has had a wide diffusion in the field of research and dissemination in recent decades. However, its use in the generation of simulated archaeological models offers a resource of enormous potential to deepen the field of interpretation of the archaeological record. In this work, we present a first approach to archaeological simulations on an experimental basis with special attention to the models created in the LAEX-UAM. W…
What lies in between: Levallois, discoid and intermediate methods
Lithic artefacts are usually associated with the different knapping methods used in their production. Flakes exhibit metric and technological features representative of the flaking method used to detach them. However, lithic production is a dynamic process in which discrete methods can be blurred, and in which features can vary throughout the process. An intermediate knapping method between the discoid and Levallois is commonly referred to under …
Predicting Flake Mass: A View from Machine Learning
Estimating flake mass based on remaining attributes bears an important relationship for the interpretation of lithic assemblages. Previous works have pointed out the relationship between flake attributes and prediction of flake mass. This study builds on previous works by using data from an experimental collection of flakes. Estimated mass was arrived at by generating a multiple linear regression model that combines several predictive variables. …

Durante los últimos años y gracias a la estrecha colaboración del Departamento de Prehistoria y Arqueología, la empresa Argea S.L y la Dirección General de Patrimonio de la Comunidad de Madrid, se viene desarrollando un modelo mixto de formación e investigación en el yacimiento paleolítico de Los Ahijones (Vicávaro-Madrid) en el que los alumnos de prácticas de campo del Máster de Arqueología y Patrimonio de nuestra Universidad participan activame…
The human settlement of Central Iberia during MIS 2: New technological, chronological and environmental data from the Solutrean workshop of Las Delicias (Manzanares River valley, Spain)
Evaluating the performance of the cutting edge of Neanderthal shell tools: A new experimental approach. Use, mode of operation, and strength of Callista chione from a behavioural, Quina perspective
Neanderthal retouched shell tools and Quina economic and technical strategies: An integrated behaviour
Aplicaciones SIG en la caracterización geoarqueológica del yacimiento paleolítico de Las Delicias (Madrid, España) y visualización en 3D de los resultados
The open-air Palaeolithic site of Las Delicias, located in the Manzanares river valley (Madrid, Spain), has been the object of recent archaeological excavations during 2008 and 2009. Field data gathered at the site has been processed through Geographic Information Systems software, and results have been represented in 3D. We have achieved a topographic and archaeological database which has been associated with 3D planimetries through GIS. At the …
Late Middle Pleistocene genesis of Neanderthal technology in Western Europe: The case of Payre site (south-east France)
Nuevos Datos Sobre El Yacimiento Paleolítico De Las Delicias: Un Taller Solutrense en El Valle Del Manzanares (Madrid, España)
El yacimiento de Las Delicias (Madrid), conocido desde la excavación practicada en el sitio por H. Obermaier y P. Wernert a finales de 1917, ha sido desde entonces uno de los referentes clásicos del Paleolítico del valle del Manzanares, a pesar de las variadas interpretaciones que ha originado su problemática colección industrial. Tras un análisis historiográfico de sus interpretaciones, presentamos aquí un primer avance de los resultados obtenid…

Stone Tools and Fossil Bones: Debates in the Archaeology of Human Origins
The stone tools and fossil bones from the earliest archaeological sites in Africa have been used over the past fifty years to create models that interpret how early hominins lived, foraged, behaved and communicated and how early and modern humans evolved. In this book, an international team of archaeologists and primatologists examines early Stone Age tools and bones and uses scientific methods to test alternative hypotheses that explain the arch…
