Hunter-fisher-gatherers by the Cantabrian seashore
Multidisciplinary investigations of archaeological assemblages from the Cantabrian region (coastal area in northern Iberian Peninsula) have been crucial in expanding our insight into the lifeways of the last foragers who inhabited the Atlantic façade of Europe. Despite recent methodological advances that have improved our understanding of Mesolithic littoral groups and shellfishing strategies, the archaeological record still limits a comprehensiv…
Lithics from the lower gallery at La Garma (Zone IV)
Lithic industry provides key information for understanding the Magdalenian occupation in Zon IV. • A technological analysis of the retouched and unretouched artefacts is carried out. • The study of the raw materials suggests a long-distance circulation. • Technological and raw material analysis reinforces the interpretation of symbolic activities in Zone IV The lithic assemblage recovered from Zone IV in the Lower Gallery at La Garma (Cantabria, …
Mobility and the use of littoral resources in the Late Mesolithic of Northern Spain
Littoral resources have been consumed by humans since at least the Middle Palaeolithic. Examples of the use of molluscs have been documented along the shores of Europe during that period but it was not until many millennia later that European hunter-fisher-gatherer societies exploited those resources intensively-see the case of Nerja cave during the Younger Dryas. This economic activity caused the accumulation of shells at archaeological sites du…
Pioneer Archaeologists and the Influence of Their Scientific Relationships on Mesolithic Studies in North Iberia
Count Vega del Sella’s research marked the beginning of the long tradition of Mesolithic studies in Asturias (North Spain). Another pioneer, L. Sierra, explored a number of caves in Cantabria with Mesolithic shell-middens, but no specific research line was developed on this kind of deposit in the province. The early excavation at Santimamiñe Cave recorded the Basque Country’s first shell-midden, which was thought to belong to a different facies f…
Beyond images
In this study of the location and physical characteristics of the surroundings of a series of decorated caves in the Nalón river basin in Asturias (northern Iberia), the spatial analysis, which included fieldwork and the use of GIS, has defined the external archaeological context (EAC) of pre-Magdalenian art in that area. The spatial information has been integrated with the study of the rock art in order to observe tendencies that are statistical…
Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Archaeology in North Iberia. New data and perspectives
Magdalenian knappers in the Asón Valley
The Mesolithic “Asturian” culture (North Iberia), one century on
Re-evaluating the Neolithic
Research projects undertaken in the Cantabrian region since 1980 have produced new, high-quality information about the neolithisation process(es) in this area. It is now necessary to review this archaeological information and test the main hypotheses put forward to explain it. This paper presents an update on the archaeological evidence (sites, chronological dates, archaeozoological, archaeobotanical and technological information) for the early N…
The first farmers in Cantabrian Spain
Contribution of landscape analysis to the characterisation of Palaeolithic sites
Where are the 'Asturian' dwellings? An integrated survey programme on the Mesolithic of northern Spain
Apuntes en torno al uso de los arpones magdalenienses
Se presenta el análisis microscópico de tres arpones magdalenienses procedentes de la cueva de El Horno (Ramales, Cantabria). Su fin era la identificación, en superficie, de rastros susceptibles de aportar información preliminar sobre el uso de los arpones. Las observaciones sobre uno de ellos revelan que se empleó en distintas ocasiones, quizá para la captura de presas con una piel más resistente que la de los peces. Las trazas identificadas en …
Pratiques cynégétiques et exploitation des ressources animales dans les niveaux du magdalénien supérieur-final de El Horno (Ramales, Cantabrie, Espagne)
Le site de El Horno a livré de nombreux vestiges archéologiques attribués au Magdalénien supérieur parmi lesquels les restes osseux sont bien conservés. L’étude taphonomique montre que les ensembles osseux sont d’origine essentiellement anthropique. Le Bouquetin domine très nettement les spectres fauniques qui apparaissent largement spécialisés. Des proies adultes chassées probablement à la fin de l’hiver et au début du printemps ont été majorita…
