Chronic disease in a 15th-century skeleton from the first European settlement of the Canary Islands
OBJECTIVE: This study seeks to evaluate morphological changes in a skeleton recovered from San Marcial de Rubicón, the earliest permanent European settlement in the Canary Islands. MATERIALS: The individual derives from a primary inhumation dated to the early fifteenth century. METHODS: Macroscopic observation was combined with conventional radiography, computed tomography, and mitochondrial DNA analysis. A systematic differential diagnosis consi…

San Marcial de Rubicón represents the first European city of the Atlantic expansion during the Age of Exploration. • San Marcial de Rubicón individuals to two adult males and two females that lived in the 15th century. • Males have European ancestry that can be linked with the Andalusians who reached the island during and after the conquest. • Female individuals have a North African origin most probably related to Moriscosbrought to the island as…
Ancient DNA from lentils (Lens culinaris) illuminates human - plant - culture interactions in the Canary Islands
The intimate relationship between humans and crop plants means that traces of human cultural practices become embedded in the crop genome. Genetic analyses of archaeological crop remains thus allow cultural consequences of societal change to be studied. The Canary Islands have a unique cultural history where the Hispanic colonization in the 15th century led to eradication of the indigenous culture, partial replacement of the human gene pool and a…

The talus of the pre‐Hispanic population from Punta Azul (El Hierro, Canary Islands)
The aim of this study was assessing the prevalence of os trigonum , talo‐calcaneal facets, and squatting facet variations among pre‐Hispanic individuals (around 940 ± 30 bp ) placed in the collective burial cave of Punta Azul (El Hierro, Canary Islands), and to assess whether prevalence differed among sexes. A total of 149 tali (70 right and 79 left) belonging to adult individuals were found in a comingled context. Sex determination was achieved …
Perinatal burials at pre-Hispanic noncemetery sites in Gran Canaria
In this paper, we perform the first multidisciplinary study of perinatal burials at a pre-Hispanic domestic site in Gran Canaria. For that, we carried out bioanthropological analyses, the genetic determination of the molecular sex of the individuals, and the contextualization of their chronological and cultural affiliations. To date, these remains had been associated to a local re-interpretation of a Phoenician-Punic tophet or as evidence of fema…
Paleogenomics of the prehistory of Europe
A substantial portion of ancient DNA research has been centred on understanding European populations' origin and evolution. A rchaeological evidence has already shown that the peopling of Europe involved an intricate pattern of demic and/or cultural diffusion since the Upper Palaeolithic, which became more evident during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. However, ancient DNA data has been crucial in determining if cultural changes occurred du…
Colonialism, slavery and ‘The Great Experiment’
Aggressive or funerary cannibalism? Skull‐cup and human bone manipulation in Cueva de El Toro (Early Neolithic, southern Iberia)
Evidence from Cueva de El Toro suggests that cannibalism was conducted in the domestic sphere, likely following ritualized practices where the skull-cup could have played a part. Interpretation of this evidence suggests two hypotheses: (a) aggressive cannibalism relates to extreme inter-group violence; and (b) funerary cannibalism is a facet of multi-stage burial practices. Similar evidence has been found in other Neolithic sites of this region a…
Genetic studies on the prehispanic population buried in Punta Azul cave (El Hierro, Canary Islands)
The early colonial atlantic world
OBJECTIVES: The Canary Islands are considered one of the first places where Atlantic slave plantations with labourers of African origin were established, during the 15th century AD. In Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), a unique cemetery dated to the 15th and 17th centuries was discovered adjacent to an ancient sugar plantation with funerary practices that could be related to enslaved people. In this article, we investigate the origin and poss…
Early Neolithic funerary diversity and mitochondrial variability of two Iberian sites
Mitochondrial DNA and Y‐chromosome structure at the mediterranean and atlantic façades of the iberian peninsula
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to analyze mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome lineages in a range of Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of the Iberian Peninsula in search of genetic differences between both façades and to uncover the most probable geographic origin and coalescence ages of lineages. METHODS: The control region of mitochondrial DNA and haplogroup diagnostic positions were analyzed in 575 subjects and Y-chromosome markers w…
Genetic sexing to determine the optimal discriminant functions for the analysis of archaeological remains from El Hierro (Canary Islands)
Mitochondrial DNA patterns in the Macaronesia islands
Macaronesia covers four Atlantic archipelagos: the Azores, Madeira, the Canary Islands, and the Cape Verde islands. When discovered by Europeans in the 15th century, only the Canaries were inhabited. Historical reports highlight the impact of Iberians on settlement in Macaronesia. Although important differences in their settlement are documented, its influence on their genetic structures and relationships has yet to be ascertained. In this study,…

Human mitochondrial DNA diversity in an archaeological site inal-Andalus
Mitochondrial DNA sequences and restriction fragment polymorphisms were retrieved from three Islamic 12th-13th century samples of 71 bones and teeth (with >85% efficiency) from Madinat Baguh (today called Priego de Cordoba, Spain). Compared with 108 saliva samples from the present population of the same area, the medieval samples show a higher proportion of sub-Saharan African lineages that can only partially be attributed to the historic Muslim …
Mitochondrial DNA diversity in 17th-18th century remains from Tenerife (Canary Islands)
Mitochondrial DNA sequences and restriction fragment length polymorphisms were retrieved (with >80% efficiency) from a 17th-18th century sample of 213 teeth from Tenerife. The genetic composition of this population reveals an important ethnic heterogeneity. Although the majority of detected haplotypes are of European origin, the high frequency of sub-Saharan African haplotypes (15.63%), compared to that of the present-day population (6.6%), confi…
