Cuon Versus Canis: A Comparative Guide to the Morphological Distinction of Postcranial Bones and Its Archaeo‐Paleontological Implications
The genera Cuon and Canis are part of the carnivore guild during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene in Europe. However, most identifications in archaeo‐palaeontological contexts are made on cranial and dental elements as these are taxonomically the most diagnostic anatomical regions. In contrast, taxonomical identifications of postcranial remains are scarce and often based on metric criteria because of their morphological similarity between the…
Experimental Protocol for Cooking Rabbits and its Archaeological Implications
Small prey such as rabbits are present in Middle Paleolithic and are abundant in the diet of Upper Paleolithic human groups in southwestern Europe, especially in the Iberian Peninsula. Several archaeological and experimental studies have attempted to relate anthropogenic modifications, in this case cut marks, to different processing and consumption activities. However, the data do not always give similar results, as the presence and quantity of c…
The Solutrean Antlerworking in Hort de Cortés–Volcán del Faro (Valencia, Spain) in the Southwest Europe Context: A Preliminary Study
In this work, we present a preliminary analysis of the Solutrean antlerworking at Hort de Cortés–Volcán del Faro (Valencia, Spain) (ca. 26–21 ka cal BP). A restudy of its archaeological sequence, which came to encompass the Early Upper Palaeolithic to the Magdalenian period, has been a mandatory subject in the last years. This site became an archaeological reference since the beginning of its excavation in the 1960s but has not been systematicall…
Archaeozoological studies: New database and method based on alphanumeric codes
The database is an important tool to collect all the necessary information by any archaeozoologist. However, the specialists do not use a recurring methodology to describe the bone remains, and that complicates the possibility to compare the results from different sites. For these reasons, first, it is necessary to provide a complete and versatile database structure and secondly, employ a fast and objective methodology. In this case, we propose s…

An instance of Neanderthal mobility dynamics: A lithological approach to the flint assemblage from stratigraphic unit viii of El Salt rockshelter (Alcoi, eastern Iberia)
The relationship between hunter-gatherer group mobility and lithic raw material procurement strategies is central to the study of Neanderthal productive behaviours. In this framework, determination of flint procurement sources through lithological analysis is key to infer Neanderthal group mobility patterns. El Salt rockshelter (Alcoi, Alacant, eastern Iberia) features different nearby flint sources, including primary outcrops and secondary depos…
A High Temporal Resolution Zooarchaeological Approach to Neanderthal Subsistence Strategies on the Southeastern Iberian Peninsula: El Salt Stratigraphic Unit Xa (Alicante, Spain)
It's getting hot in here – Microcontextual study of a potential pit hearth at the Middle Paleolithic site of El Salt, Spain
By studying combustion structures, which conceal information about anthropogenic activity, we might learn about their makers. This is especially important for remote time periods like the Middle Paleolithic, whose archaeological record comprises numerous combustion structures. The majority of these are simple, flat, open hearths, although a small number of features situated in pit-like depressions have been recorded. Given that hearths built on a…
Racial Migrations: New York City and the Revolutionary Politics of the Spanish Caribbean, 1850-1902
At one point in this extraordinary book, the author, presenting what he calls the “radial lines of the ‘vast sphere of resurgent nationalism’” that converged in New York City, tells us that “only by connecting these dots” can we see what must have been obvious to the historical figures whose lives he is vividly portraying (p. 106). Connecting the dots is what Racial Migrations is all about. Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof crafts a dramatic story of how a …
Bone retouchers from the Middle Palaeolithic site of El Salt, Stratigraphic Unit Xa (Alicante, Spain): First data and comparison with the Middle to Upper Pleistocene European record
Middle Palaeolithic sites frequently present bones with a double function, linked to subsistence and technology, which are generally referred to as “retouchers” or “bone retouchers.” These have been identified in several European sites from the Middle Pleistocene to Holocene, but different explanations of their origin and functionality have been cited. Although bone retouchers were made using various animal parts, they were usually produced from …

Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government: Convergence and Divergence in Making Foreign Policy
As a nation of immigrants, the United States has long accepted that citizens who identify with an ancestral homeland may hold dual loyalties; yet Americans have at times regarded the persistence of foreign ties with suspicion, seeing them as a sign of potential disloyalty and a threat to national security. Diaspora Lobbies and the US Government brings together a group of distinguished scholars of international politics and international migration…

The Household Structure of Second-Generation Children: An Exploratory Study of Extended Family Arrangements
Using data from the Children of Immigrants Survey, the antecedents of extended family arrangements among immigrant households with children are examined. The incidence and form of such arrangements, especially the presence of grandparents, are analyzed in relation to single parenthood, national origin, cultural assimilation, and socioeconomic variables. The findings serve to underscore the complexity of the correlates of extended family arrangeme…

Immigrant Economic Adjustment and Family Organization: The Cuban Success Story Reexamined
The economic adjustment of Cuban-origin persons in the U.S. has been traditionally analyzed at two levels: the individual and the community (enclave). The analysis presented here represents a complementary approach at the household level. Data from the 1980 U.S. Census show that the relatively successful economic adjustment of Cubans is largely a family, rather than individual, phenomenon. The data also permit an identification of the structural …
Immigrant Economic Adjustment and Family Organization: The Cuban Success Story Reexamined
Cubans in the United States
Although the bulk of the Cuban-origin population immigrated within the past 25 years, the Cuban presence in this country has a long history. In the nineteenth century, important Cuban communities existed in Tampa, Key West, and New York. The post-1959 Cuban immigrants have concentrated in the Miami area. In comparison with other major U.S. Hispanic groups, the sociodemographic profile of the Cubans is fairly unique: a large proportion of middle-a…
The Political Contexts of Cuban Population Censuses, 1899–1981
Although they represent a principal source of data for demographers, population censuses have not usually been undertaken for the benefit of population analysts. In ancient times, population enumerations were usually linked to the collection of taxes or to military conscription. Although in modern censuses such motivations are not entirely absent, other important considerations have emerged, such as equitable apportionment of representation in le…
Socioeconomic Context of Cuban Americans
This study provides a socioeconomic profile of the Cuban American population. As a means of reference, Cuban Americans are compared: (1) to the entire Hispanic population and (2) to the total population of the United States. In addition, Cubans living in Miami, Florida are compared to those living in Union City-West New York, New Jersey. Together, these two urban concentrations comprise approximately 75% of the entire Cuban American population. A…

Fertility Decline in Cuba: A Socioeconomic Interpretation
The crude birth rate in Cuba which had been in the mid-20s per 1000 population during the 1950s climbed to the mid-30s in the years immediately following the Cuban Revolution and the fall starting in the late 1960s to reach a low of 14 per 1000 in 1980 1 of the most rapid declines on record. While observers have attributed the fertility decline to modernization over the last 2 decades the authors argue for a more complex explanation in which baby…

Iron Mining and Socio-Demographic Change in Eastern Cuba, 1884-1940
During the first four decades of this century a profound change took place in eastern Cuba, especially in the province of Oriente. Its most obvious indicators are demographic: at the turn of the century, Oriente was only the third- largest of the six provinces in population, yet by 1919 it already occupied the number one position. Between 1899 and 1943 the province grew 313.9 per cent, much faster than either the national population (203.8) or th…
