Early Upper Palaeolithic personal ornaments from Foradada cave (Xàbia, Alacant, Eastern Iberia)
Down by the Seaside
Understanding hunter-gatherer mobility dynamics requires a comprehensive approach that considers interactions across entire territories rather than isolated archaeological sites. This study investigates lithic raw-material procurement at two early Upper Palaeolithic sites in the central Mediterranean Iberian region: the Foradada (i.e. Aurignacian; Xàbia, Alacant) and the La Barriada caves (i.e. Gravettian; Benidorm, Alacant). By adopting an appro…

Spatiotemporal Patterns on the Appearance of the First Trapeze Industries in the Late Mesolithic of the Iberian Peninsula
The spread of trapeze industries (the creation of trapeze-shaped flint tips) during Late Mesolithic is one of the most disruptive phenomena of technological change documented in the European Prehistory. Understanding the chronological patterns of this process requires (i) a critical evaluation of stratigraphic relationship between trapeze assemblages and radiocarbon samples, and (ii) considering different levels of chronological uncertainty accor…
Unraveling Early Holocene occupation patterns at El Arenal de la Virgen (Alicante, Spain) open-air site
Palimpsests are ubiquitous in the open-air archaeological record. Yet, integrated intra-site research strategies of palimpsest dissection to infer occupational histories, spatial behavioural patterns and site formation processes remain scarce in the postglacial archaeology. In this work, we apply an integrated protocol of palimpsest analysis to the Mesolithic Unit IV of El Arenal de la Virgen site, radiocarbon dated in two different occupation ph…
Mesolithic hearth-pits and formation processes
Hearth-pits are some of the most common archaeological features documented in open-air Mesolithic sites, especially in coversand areas of NW Europe. However, very few geoarchaeological studies have addressed their formation, function and relationship with occupation surfaces. This work introduces new interdisciplinary investigations on the sediments of the Mesolithic open-air site of El Arenal de la Virgen (SE Iberia). A selection of five hearth-…
Impacts of sea-level rise on prehistoric coastal communities
Mapping methods to represent the interplay between environmental changes and prehistoric communities were investigated through a case study of the Mediterranean Iberia coastal landscape in the context of Holocene sea-level rise. We developed a four-dimension GIS-based analysis of the environmental evolution based on primary data acquisition (fieldwork, laboratory analyses) and spatial modeling of paleo-Digital Elevation Models (paleoDEMs). Five p…
Reconstructing Mesolithic social networks on the Iberian Peninsula using ornaments
Archaeologists have been reconstructing interactions amongst hunter-gatherer populations for a long time. These exchanges are materialised in the movements of raw materials and symbolic objects which are found far from their original sources. Social network, i.e. the structure constituted by these interactions, is a well-established concept in archaeology that is used to address the connectivity of hunter-gatherer populations. The heuristic poten…
Early Holocene Socio-Ecological Dynamics in the Iberian Peninsula
Cultural taxonomies in the Paleolithic-Old questions, novel perspectives
The bond mechanism between steel and concrete can be compromised during a fire and is one of the least investigated phenomena in concrete research. In this work we present a thorough review of the experimental data available on this topic. The results from the tests reported by a number of researchers have been systematically collected in a database. This work also reports the results obtained in the bond strength tests carried out on four batche…
Bio-cultural interactions and demography during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in Iberia
Calibration of the stable isotope composition and body size of the arid-dwelling land snail Sphincterochila candidissima , a climatic archive abundant in Mediterranean archaeological deposits
Land snails recovered from archeological deposits may be used to deduce climatic conditions during prehistoric occupation because their aragonitic skeletons are usually well-preserved and document valuable climatic information in the form of isotope codes. Since the snail Sphincterochila candidissima is common in archeological sites along the western Mediterranean but has been minimally investigated, the present work examines the relationship bet…

The Impact of the 8,200 Cal Bp Climatic Event on Human Mobility Strategies During the Iberian Late Mesolithic
Recent marine and lake core studies in the Western Mediterranean Basin and Iberia have changed the traditional perception of Holocene climate change. Particularly important in this region, the 8,200 cal BP event is marked by colder and more arid conditions. During this episode, we identify a pattern of abandonment episodes at five Late Mesolithic sites. We suggest that such desertion episodes are correlated with adjustments in the logistic mobili…
Les armatures géométriques pendant le Néolithique dans l’Est de la Péninsule Ibérique
L’objectif de cet article est de présenter une vue d’ensemble des principaux traits de l’évolution des microlithes géométriques du Néolithique de l’Est de l’Espagne (principalement la Catalogne et la région de Valencia). Notre discussion porte sur deux aspects. Le premier s’intéresse aux relations morpho-technologiques et fonctionnelles de ces pièces ainsi qu’à leur transformation dans la diachronie. Et dans ce sens, nous offrons une mise à jour …
Geometric Weapon Elements During the Neolithic in the Eastern Iberian Peninsula
In this paper, we present a global view of the principal traits of the evolution of Neolithic geometric microliths in Eastern Spain (principally in Catalonia and the Valencia region). Our discussion addresses two aspects. The first concerns the morpho-technological and functional relations of these pieces, as well as their diachronic transformation. Following this orientation, we present a summary of recent typological, technological and traceolo…
Climate change and population dynamics during the late Mesolithic and the Neolithic transition in Iberia
This paper explores how Early Holocene climate changes in the Western Mediterranean would have affected Late Mesolithic settlement distribution and subsistence strategies in Iberian Peninsula, thereby giving rise to various adaptive scenarios. The current radiocarbon data set concerning the Neolithisation process has revealed the rapidity of the spread of farming in Iberia. Considering both the implications of the last hunter-gatherers’ adaptatio…
