Combining chronostratigraphy and cyclostratigraphy in Quaternary lacustrine deposits of the Baza Formation (Orce, Granada Geopark, Southern Spain)
A stratigraphic section made of Quaternary alluvial–lacustrine sediments belonging to the Baza Formation (South Spain) has been logged and studied for paleomagnetism, rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy, and electron spin resonance (ESR) quartz dating. Our results indicate that the section, which is found in the vicinity of a number of paleontological and archaeological localities, falls within the mid-Early Pleistocene (Calabrian), within the Matuya…
Integration of an archaeological database in a virtual reality environment
Virtual reality and databases are two technological domains employed in many scientific fields. In archeology, several works are being developed along these lines. This paper presents the workflow for the creation of an executable virtual reality: it integrates a virtualization of the archaeological site of Venta Micena (Granada, Spain) and a database of some of the most relevant archaeological remains from that site. The strength and novelty of …
Greening a lost world
The scarcity of pictorial reconstructions focusing on Quaternary flora and vegetation prompts a reevaluation of traditional zoocentrism in future paleoartistic research. Here we present paleoartistic renderings depicting vegetation landscapes around the Orce Archaeological Zone (OAZ), encompassing sites dating from 1.6 to 1.2 million years ago during the Early Pleistocene of the Guadix-Baza Basin in southern Spain. Four pieces are based on fossil…
Monitoring an archaeological excavation using photogrammetry and digital elevation models (Dems)
In this paper, we describe and discuss emergent digital technologies employed for monitoring the excavations at the archaeological site of Barranco León (Granada, Spain) between 2017 and 2020. The method entails the following material requirements: a total station, a conventional camera, a computer and a software that integrates photogrammetry algorithms; in terms of human resources, the presence of an engineer for the first day of the excavation…
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…
Oldowan stone knapping and percussive activities on a raw material reservoir deposit 1.4 million years ago at Barranco León (Orce, Spain)
Coping with arid environments
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…
The genomic history of the Iberian Peninsula over the past 8000 years
Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand the genetic history and movements of people across the globe. Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals from Iberia (see the Perspective by Vander Linden). The findings provide a comprehensive genetic time transect of the region. Linguistics analysis and genetic analysis of archaeological human remains…
Evolución humana y paz. Una aproximación desde la teoría y la práctica
Puede resultar paradójico investigar la paz en la prehistoria, y más concretamente, a partir de los restos de taxones humanos extintos, cuando no tenemos constancia ni del concepto ni, probablemente, la idea de paz. Sin embargo, considerar la paz como una categoría de análisis nos permite visibilizarla en todo tiempo, lugar y por parte de cualquier agente. Por otro lado, esta aportación se inserta dentro de la investigación para la paz, lo que im…

Una aproximación multivariante al dimorfismo sexual de una población islámica medieval de la Península Ibérica
Sexual dimorphism is a key feature that pemit to us to distinguish females from males. From a quantitative point of view two osteological complex are well discriminant of the sex of the human individuals, pelvis and crania (in this order). On the other hand, when a population presents more variability is more difficult to discriminate females from males. In this study, it is shown that the Islamic population from La Torrecilla (Arenas del Rey, Gr…
Discriminación De Sexo en Una Población Medieval Del Sur De La Península Ibérica
La determinación del sexo de los individuos de colecciones arqueológicas es un tema fundamental porque a partir de ella se pueden discutir muchos aspectos sociales y biológicos. Es bien conocido que no todos los huesos, incluso partes de los mismos, alcanzan la misma relevancia para la discriminación del sexo puesto que no todos reflejan con la misma intensidad el dimorfismo sexual. En este trabajo se muestra un ejemplo de determinación sexual a …
Dimorfismo Sexual en Una Población Arqueológica Musulmana Del Sur De La Península Ibérica
El dimorfismo sexual es una cuestión clave en Biología, incluida la humana, puesto que se considera como respuesta a múltiples factores. Un paso previo fundamental para el establecimiento del dimorfismo sexual es la asignación de sexo, tarea ardua, y a veces imposible, en contextos paleontológicos y arqueológicos. Para solventar este problema se ha recurrido a técnicas que permiten estimar el dimorfismo sexual en poblaciones de sexo desconocido. …
