Reconstrucción 3D histórica y difusión digital del patrimonio arquitectónico en peligro: El caso del Monasterio de Nuestra Señora del Risco (Amavida, Ávila)
Este trabajo presenta un enfoque innovador para la valorización y difusión del patrimonio arquitectónico en peligro, tomando como caso de estudio el Monasterio de Nuestra Señora del Risco. A través de imágenes generadas a partir de un modelo tridimensional (3D) y de una visita virtual 4D, se busca conectar la reconstrucción histórica del monasterio en su momento de máximo esplendor, el siglo XVIII, con su estado actual, mostrando las transformaci…
Evaluation of the Emotional Impacts of the Notre Dame Cathedral Fire and Restoration on a Population Sample
The fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral accentuated the sense that this architectural building is a symbol of unity and identity for the population. This symbol extends beyond its French and Christian origins, reflecting the universal nature of cultural heritage, which has the extraordinary ability to unite people across nations, transcending ideologies, religions, and political divisions. The reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral marks a profound m…
Evaluation of 3D Models of Archaeological Remains of Almenara Castle Using Two UAVs with Different Navigation Systems
Improvements in the navigation systems incorporated into unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and new sensors are improving the quality of 3D mapping results. In this study, two flights were compared over the archaeological remains of the castle of Almenara, situated in Cuenca, Spain. We performed one with a DJI Phantom 4 (DJI Innovations Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) and the other with a Matrice 300 RTK (DJI Innovations Co., Ltd., Shenzhen, China) and …
Is the StW 53 cranium (Sterkfontein, South Africa) the earliest evidence of tool-assisted hominin modification? New data from a neotaphonomic experiment and the virtual reconstruction of its linear ma…
Unveiling history: An innovative approach to the dissemination of archaeological heritage
More than a fingerprint on a pebble: A pigment-marked object from San Lázaro rock-shelter in the context of Neanderthal symbolic behavior
The pebble discovered in the San Lázaro rock-shelter (Segovia, Central Spain) is the oldest known non-utilitarian object with a fingerprint made in Europe. Its morphology and the strategic position of an ocher dot, where a dermatoglyphic image has been detected, may be evidence of symbolic behavior. This object contributes to our understanding of Neanderthals' capacity for abstraction, suggesting that it could represent one of the earliest human …
New virtual approach to the study of metallurgy through the analysis of slice marks from the Chalcolithic site of Zanjillas (Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid, Spain)
Although the discovery of metal objects is not common in Chalcolithic or Bronze Age sites, the study of bone surface microscopic grooves from animal butchering can yield evidence of the use of metal artefacts in these contexts. Additionally, the presence of slice marks made with metal objects in Chalcolithic and Bronze Age sites has highlighted the use of metal in common practices beyond their ornamental application, as usually expected at the ea…
Ancient Sites and Modern People: Raising Awareness of Iron Age Heritage in Central Spain
In the last 30 years, considerable effort has been invested in the public presentation of archaeological sites and, in general, in the dissemination of the heritage bequeathed to us by the pre-Roman communities of the western Iberian Peninsula. In this paper, we critically analyse the most outstanding measures implemented in this area by the different administrations and specialists involved. Similarly, we present the main initiatives undertaken …
Documentation and Virtualisation of Vernacular Cultural Heritage: The Case of Underground Wine Cellars in Atauta (Soria)
The cultural heritage associated with rural systems is extremely valuable and is a sign of identity for cultures that are disappearing or undergoing transformation. This paper explains and illustrates the series of procedures that have been carried out to document and subsequently virtualise the ethnological site of the “El Plantío” underground wine cellars in Atauta. The ensembles of underground wine cellars are located immediately outside the v…
Reconstrucción virtual en 3D del “Torreón” del oppidum de Ulaca (Solosancho, Ávila): Mucho más que una imagen
Desde 2016 venimos desarrollando prospecciones geofísicas y excavaciones arqueológicas en el oppidum de Ulaca (Solosancho, Ávila) con el objetivo de comprender mejor un edificio singular conocido como el “Torreón”. Se trata de una estructura en ruinas de planta rectangular (14 × 10 m) que debió tener una importante altura. El interés que presenta esta construcción nos ha llevado a realizar su reconstrucción virtual en 3D utilizando el software Bl…

New taphonomic advances in 3D digital microscopy: A morphological characterisation of trampling marks
Flint and Quartzite: Distinguishing Raw Material Through Bone Cut Marks
Since the 1980s, several experimental analyses have been able to differentiate some lithic tool types and some of their raw materials according to the morphology of cut marks imprinted by such tools when used for butchering activities. Thus, metal tool use has been differentiated in contexts with an abundance of lithic tools, or even the use of hand axes has been documented in carcass processing, in contrast with simple unretouched or retouched f…
Micro-photogrammetric and morphometric differentiation of cut marks on bones using metal knives, quartzite, and flint flakes
A new approach to raw material use in the exploitation of animal carcasses at BK (Upper Bed II , Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania): A micro‐photogrammetric and geometric morphometric analysis of fossil cut mar…
The use of innovative techniques such as micro‐photogrammetry and geometric morphometrics may have a major impact on the differentiation of cut marks made with different raw materials and, thus, link butchering processes with stone tool reduction sequences. This work focuses on a sample of cut‐marked bones from the Bell's Korongo (BK) site (Upper Bed II , Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania), which is an emblematic early Pleistocene site where a large faunal…

Pandora: A new morphometric and statistical software for analysing and distinguishing cut marks on bones
Cut mark studies have experienced a useful development in the last few years. These studies have allowed us to obtain important information about human prehistory spanning from the origin of meat consumption for chronologies around 2.5 Ma, the detection of human hunting behavior during the lower Pleistocene, or even to determine the uses of diverse raw materials on carcases. Amongst the different analyses applied to the study of cut marks, there …
