  • Complementarity between morphological and proteomic taxonomic identification methods of Late Upper Palaeolithic and Early Neolithic bone fragments from the NE Iberian Peninsula

    Open AccessJakob Lerche Hansen, Krista Michelle Mcgrath et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2026

    Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) has been widely used for taxonomic identification of fragmented bones, yet most direct comparisons with morphological identifications originate from European Palaeolithic contexts. This study provides a general assessment of the two taxonomic identification approaches of one Late Upper Palaeolithic and three Early Neolithic bone assemblages, all located in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula. The results…

  • Re-thinking the preservation biases impacting the Neolithic plant record in the Iberian Peninsula

    Open AccessB Garay Palacios, B Garay-Palacios et al.ARTICLEVegetation History and…2026References: 6

    Seeds and fruits are frequently recovered at archaeological sites in the Iberian Peninsula, mainly preserved in a charred state. Plant assemblages recovered from waterlogged and desiccated contexts show that charring leads to a biased representation of certain taxa, as not all plants are equally likely to become charred or survive charring. For instance, wild fruits rarely require processing and are often eaten raw, so their presence in the recor…

  • D hypothetical reconstruction of a Neolithic hut from the waterlogged site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)

    Open AccessEvdoxia Tzerpou, Ivan Campana et al.ARTICLEVirtual Archaeology Review2025

    This paper presents a hypothetical digital reconstruction of a prehistoric wooden hut from the archaeological site of La Draga (Banyoles, Northeast Iberia). La Draga is a waterlogged Early Neolithic settlement (ca. 7300-6700 years ago), located on the eastern shore of lake Banyoles, and presents an extraordinary preservation of wood and vegetal materials usually not recovered in prehistoric archaeology. The wooden architectonical elements recover…

  • An Experimental and Methodological Approach of Plant Fibres in Dental Calculus

    Open AccessMaria Herrero-Otal, Laura Canales et al.ARTICLEOpen Archaeology2025References: 33

    Perishable organic raw materials such as plant fibres have been widely used since the time of the earliest human groups, although their poor preservation limits our knowledge of their use. Filling this gap requires a focused search for plant fibre evidence in non-perishable materials. Since teeth are sometimes used in fibre processing, evidence of fibres can be sought in mineralised bacterial plaque, and therefore, its analysis can potentially be…

  • Go With the Flow

    Open AccessVasiliki Andreaki, Panagiotis Karkanas et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2025References: 3

    Micromorphological analysis of the archaeological sediments at the Neolithic (5300–4800 cal BC ) lacustrine site of La Draga (Lake Banyoles) is used to reconstruct the depositional events that formed the site's stratigraphic sequence. By identifying different microfacies types, we have detected occupational surfaces across various sectors of the site and decoded the settlement's formation processes. These findings are discussed in the context of …

  • Assessing the Role of Wooden Vessels, Basketry, and Pottery at the Early Neolithic Site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)

    Open AccessIngrid Bertin, Susagna Romero-Brugués et al.ARTICLEOpen Archaeology2024Cited by: 1References: 7

    Organic containers are rarely preserved in archaeological contexts. As a result, the work involved in their production and their functions remains invisible unlike other containers commonly better represented, such as pottery. The early Neolithic site of La Draga (5300–4900 cal BC), located on the shore of the Lake Banyoles (Spain), has provided several containers made of wood and plant fibres besides a significant amount of ceramic remains. The …

  • Sorting the Trees

    Open AccessOriol López-Bultó, Patrick Gassmann et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Wood…2023

    It is suggested that woodland management (e.g. pollarding, pruning, or coppicing) was practiced from at least the Neolithic onwards. The goal of this work is to discuss woodland management practices in the Early Neolithic waterlogged site of La Draga (5300–4700 cal BC , Banyoles, Spain). To date, different methods and techniques (dendrochronology, roundwood age and diameter, dendrology, etc.) have been applied to address this issue, and some prel…

  • Describing the neolithic cord production process

    Open AccessMaria Herrero-Otal, Susagna Romero-Brugués et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2023Cited by: 1References: 17

    Cordage is related to daily activities and as such has been a basic element for self-suffiency since Prehistory. Due to the lack of their preservation in most archaeological contexts, the knowledge of these technologies in the past is limited. This paper analyses the production process through an experimental program of the cordage assemblage from La Draga (Girona, Spain; 5207–4862 cal BC). The site is an Early Neolithic site from north-eastern I…
