Sedimentological evolution of the Quibas site
Introduction to special issue
Dietary ecological traits of extinct mammalian herbivores from the last glacial termination at the Pilauco Site, Chile
Stable isotopes are a powerful tool for reconstructing the past. However, environmental factors not previously considered can lead to misinterpretations. Our study presents a novel analysis of the feeding behavior of the megafauna that inhabited the Pilauco ecosystem in south-central Chile during the last glacial termination. We analyzed a suite of modern plant and animal samples from closed-canopy forests to establish an isotopic baseline with w…
Unravelling Hominin Activities in the Zooarchaeological Assemblage of Barranco León (Orce, Granada, Spain)
Little is known about the subsistence practices of the first European settlers, mainly due to the shortage of archaeological sites in Europe older than a million years. This article contributes to the knowledge of the subsistence of the first Europeans with new zooarchaeology and taphonomic data from the Palaeolithic site of Barranco León (Orce, Granada, Spain). We present the results of the analysis of the faunal assemblages retrieved in the con…
Small mammals (Insectivora, Rodentia, Lagomorpha) from the Early Pleistocene hominin-bearing site of Dmanisi (Georgia)
Small mammals (insectivores, rodents, and lagomorphs) from Dmanisi are here reviewed for the first time and used as a tool for paleoenvironmental proxies. The small mammal faunal list is composed of shrews (Beremendia fissidens, cf. Beremendia minor, Crocidura kornfeldi), hamsters (Cricetulus sp., Allocricetus bursae), gerbils (Parameriones aff. obeidiyensis), murids (Apodemus cf. atavus), arvicolids (Mimomys pliocaenicus, Mimomys aff. pusillus),…
New paleoecological perspectives on Late Pleistocene Neanderthals in northern Balkans
During the Late Pleistocene, the Balkans came to be an important region with many isolated areas, enabling fauna, alongside Neanderthals, to thrive in the area. This work is focused on paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic changes that occurred in the northern Balkan Peninsula with a special focus on fossil record from Smolućka cave aging from MIS 5 to MIS 3. Based on available data, an attempt has been made to establish a synthetic chronological …
Use of meat resources in the Early Pleistocene assemblages from Fuente Nueva 3 (Orce, Granada, Spain)
Over the last few decades, several types of evidence such as presence of hominin remains, lithic assemblages, and bones with anthropogenic surface modifications have demonstrated that early human communities inhabited the European subcontinent prior to the Jaramillo Subchron (1.07-0.98 Ma). While most studies have focused primarily on early European lithic technologies and raw material management, relatively little is known about food procurement…

Pleistocene evolutionary trends in dental morphology of Mimomys savini (Rodentia, Mammalia) from Iberian peninsula and discussion about the origin of the genus Arvicola
The study of Mimomys savini material from the Spanish sites of Barranco León and Fuente Nueva 3 (Granada), Gran Dolina (Atapuerca), Vallparadis (Barcelona) and La Boella (Tarragona) shows evolutionary trends in the dental morphology of this species within the Lower and early Middle Pleistocene. The data obtained from each site were ordered on the basis of absolute datings available for the ~1.46-0.7 Ma time interval. Clearly detected trends are t…
The oldest human fossil in Europe, from Orce (Spain)
On the limits of using combined U-series/ESR method to date fossil teeth from two Early Pleistocene archaeological sites of the Orce area (Guadix-Baza basin, Spain)
The combined U-series/electron spin resonance (ESR) dating method was applied to nine teeth from two Early Pleistocene archaeological sites located in the Orce area (Guadix-Baza Basin, Southern Spain): Fuente Nueva-3 (FN-3) and Barranco León (BL). The combination of biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy places both sites between the Olduvai and Jaramillo subchrons (1.78–1.07 Ma). Our results highlight the difficulty of dating such old sites and…
Climate change and small vertebrate evolution in the Plio-Pleistocene of the Guadix-Baza Basin (SE Spain)
Defending the early human occupation of Vallparadís (Barcelona, Iberian Peninsula)
Homo vs. Pachycrocuta
Earliest human occupations at Dmanisi (Georgian Caucasus) dated to 1.85–1.78 Ma
The early Pleistocene colonization of temperate Eurasia by Homo erectus was not only a significant biogeographic event but also a major evolutionary threshold. Dmanisi's rich collection of hominin fossils, revealing a population that was small-brained with both primitive and derived skeletal traits, has been dated to the earliest Upper Matuyama chron ( ca . 1.77 Ma). Here we present archaeological and geologic evidence that push back Dmanisi's fi…
Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic proxies to the Early Pleistocene hominids of Barranco León D and Fuente Nueva 3 (Granada, Spain) by means of their amphibian and reptile assemblages
Human neoteny revisited
The process of learning requires morphological changes in the neuronal connections and the formation of new synapses. Due to the importance of memory and learning in our species, it has been suggested that the synaptic plasticity in a number of association areas is higher in the human brain than in other primates. Cortical neurons in mammals are characterized by higher metabolism, activity, and synaptic plasticity during development and the juven…

The Miocene Rodent Succession in Eastern Spain
Refinements of the European Mammal Biochronology from the Magnetic Polarity Record of the Plio–Pleistocene Zújar Section, Guadix-Baza Basin, SE Spain
The magnetobiostratigraphy study of the 130-m-thick Zújar section (Negratı́n clays unit, Guadix-Baza Basin, Spain) provides a remarkable opportunity to improve the correlation of European mammal biostratigraphy to the Geomagnetic Polarity Time Scale. The occurrence of 12 well-defined magnetozones and four paleontological sites with diagnostic faunas ranging from the MN 15 biozone (Ruscinian) to the MN 17 biozone (Villanyian), leads to an unambigu…
Early human occupation of Western Europe
The lacustrine deposits infilling the intramontane Guadix-Baza Basin, in the Betic Range of Southern Spain, have yielded abundant well-preserved lithic artifacts. In addition, the lake beds contain a wide range of micromammals including Mimomys savini and Allophaiomys burgondiae and large mammals such as Mammuthus and Hippopotamus together with the African saber-toothed felid Megantereon . The association of the lithic artifacts along with the fo…
Los yacimientos del Pleistoceno inferior de Barranco León y Fuente Nueva 3 de Orce (Granada). Contribución al conocimiento del primer poblamiento humano de Europa
En los ltimos aos numerosas investigaciones han contribuido a un mejor conocimiento de los primeros habitantes de Europa. Si en los aos ochenta, Francia pareca situarse en el centro del debate con yacimientos como Chilhac, Soleilhac o Vallonet; los hallazgos en la regin del Cacaso y Oriente Medio (Dmanisi y Ubeidiya), la Pennsula Itlica (Ceprano) y la Pennsula Ibrica (Orce) en los aos noventa, han desplazado el debate a las puertas de Europa.

Long Plio-Pleistocene Terrestrial Record of Climate Change and Mammal Turnover in Southern Spain
Cyclostratigraphic analysis of the Pliocene Zújar section (Guadix-Baza Basin, southeastern Spain) has enabled the recognition of a number of climatically forced cycles reflecting alternating dry and wet periods. Peaks of aridity are recorded at ca. 3.95, 3.55, 3.2, 2.8, and 1.8 myr B.P. The first dry period at about 4.0 myr B.P. corresponds to the early Ruscinian Mammal age, while the second arid interval at about 3.6 myr B.P. corresponds to the …

A new Lower Pleistocene archeological site in Europe (Vallparadís, Barcelona, Spain)
Here we report the discovery of a new late Lower Pleistocene site named Vallparadís (Barcelona, Spain) that produced a rich archeological and paleontological sequence dated from the upper boundary of the Jaramillo subchron to the early Middle Pleistocene. This deposit contained a main archeological layer with numerous artifacts and a rich macromammalian assemblage, some of which bore cut marks, that could indicate that hominins had access to carc…
