Beyond the Terrestrial Narrative
This study explores the relationship between the Majos of Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain and the sea using ichthyoarchaeological analyses at Punta del Mallorquín, Llano del Sombrero, and Cueva de Villaverde. These sites provide data on fishing practices among the Majos. Combined with existing research, our results allow us to identify the taxonomic frequency of 27 species, offering an initial insight into the use of marine resources in indi…

More than storage
Integrated functional study of obsidian and other volcanic rock tools. • First direct evidence of sickle elements for cereal harvesting in the Indigenous Canary Islands. • The spatial association between tools and funerary area suggests their possible role in preparing the burial. Although volcanic rocks are commonly found in many assemblages, functional or use-wear studies focusing on these materials are still relatively limited. This study pres…
Living on sand. A functional and PDSM analysis of obsidian and other volcanic rock tools from two coastal settlements
The state of the surfaces of prehistoric stone tools must be assessed before initiating traceological research as they may have suffered from post-depositional surface modifications (PDSM) stemming from sediment and aeolian abrasion and trampling that could have eliminated their original use-wear traces. PDSM research not only serves to avoid misinterpreting the use-wear but can shed light on formation processes of archaeological sites. Recognisi…
Differences in Dental Size Among the Indigenous Population of the Canary Islands
Nonmetric dental traits and odontometrics have demonstrated that pre‐European populations of the Canarian archipelago are closely related to Northwest Africans, revealing varying degrees of interisland diversity. However, a comprehensive study of differences across various islands has not yet been conducted. This study aims to analyze the differences in dental size among the island populations of the Canary Islands during the indigenous period. T…
Ancient DNA from lentils (Lens culinaris) illuminates human - plant - culture interactions in the Canary Islands
The intimate relationship between humans and crop plants means that traces of human cultural practices become embedded in the crop genome. Genetic analyses of archaeological crop remains thus allow cultural consequences of societal change to be studied. The Canary Islands have a unique cultural history where the Hispanic colonization in the 15th century led to eradication of the indigenous culture, partial replacement of the human gene pool and a…
Distinguishing between sheep and goat in archaeological fumiers through faecal lipid biomarkers
Lipid biomarker analysis focused on steroids has shown to have great potential for discriminating between animal faecal inputs in archaeology. This is particularly interesting when applied to stabling deposits to assess herding strategies and livestock composition. Here we present the results of a sedimentary faecal biomarker study conducted at Belmaco Cave, a pre-European archaeological site in La Palma (Canary Islands). The site was occupied by…
Utilising ancient DNA to understand crop population dynamics across a millennium
Landraces are described as genetically diverse, dynamic populations of unimproved crops. However, studying the development of a landrace population over longer periods of time has rarely been done due to a lack of suitable archaeological materials. The indigenous grain silos of Gran Canaria provide a unique opportunity for genetically analysing multiple specimens from the same time period as well as sampling the same population at multiple time p…
Sequencing the Southern Iberian Late Neolithic hypogeum cemetery of La Beleña through radiocarbon dating and Bayesian modeling
This study aims to determine the chronological sequence of the collective burials in the hypogea of the prehistoric cemetery of La Beleña (Cabra, Córdoba) through Bayesian analyses of 14 C dates obtained from human remains. The data from this site are not only key to grasping the phenomenon of the introduction and spread of hypogea throughout the western Mediterranean, but to gain insight into multi-stage funerary practices during the Late Neolit…
Insects in the far West
The Canary Islands were first settled by North African groups in the first millennium CE and, after a few centuries of interconnections with the mainland and between islands, remained isolated until the late medieval European expansion into the Atlantic. El Hierro is a small island located in the westernmost part of the archipelago that was inhabited by the bimbapes from the 2nd century CE until the 15th century European conquest. The archaeologi…
The Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B in The Southern Levant
During the last twenty years, several archaeological sites with occupation levels attributed to the Early Pre-Pottery Neolithic B have been excavated in the southern Levant, filling the previous information gap. Our excavations at Tell Qarassa North (Sweida, Syria) and Kharaysin (Zarqa, Jordan), with EPPNB occupations dated from ca. 8600 to 8200 cal. BC, have contributed to the renewal of our knowledge of the PPNB in the southern area of the Fert…
Animal Consumption at Hospital de San Martín (Gran Canaria)
The Canary Islands were initially colonized around 200 CE by North African Berber populations who brought with them domestic plants and animals. These communities remained isolated until the arrival of Europeans in the Late Middle Ages which triggered the conquest of the archipelago. Its geostrategic location in the framework of Atlantic expansion facilitated the arrival of people, knowledge, goods, plants, and animals which served to shape the n…

Interpreting oral conditions of the past
The European colonization of the Canary Islands was accompanied by new farming and food processing techniques as well as new dietary patterns. The current study sheds light on the impact of these new techniques and foodstuffs by delving into the oral conditions of members of this society in this timeframe. The analyses of the oral conditions of 85 adults of the Modern Era of Gran Canaria combined with spatial, temporal, and sex criteria led to id…
Un lugar entre las dunas. Aprovechamiento oportunista de un espacio costero durante la etapa preeuropea de la isla de Gran Canaria (circa siglos VIII-XI AD)
Este trabajo presenta los resultados del estudio pluridisciplinar de un asentamiento temporal preeuropeo situado en la Reserva Natural Especial de las Dunas de Maspalomas (Gran Canaria). Carece de estructuras estables de habitación, pero conserva de manera excepcional una estructura de combustión sobre la arena dunar. El sitio se ocupó en el cambio del I al II milenio AD, una etapa para la que se cuenta con escasos paralelos en la isla. Allí se d…

Transforming the ancestors
Flint 'figurines' from the Early Neolithic site of Kharaysin, Jordan
During the Early Neolithic in the Near East, particularly from the mid ninth millennium cal BC onwards, human iconography became more widespread. Explanations for this development, however, remain elusive. This article presents a unique assemblage of flint artefacts from the Middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic B (eighth millennium BC) site of Kharaysin in Jordan. Contextual, morphological, statistical and use-wear analyses of these artefacts suggest tha…
Exploring the risks accompanying child-bearing in aboriginal society on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, 13th–15th cal. CE)
In the pre-Hispanic necropolis of Juan Primo, northwest Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) a grave was found containing a 20-25 year-old woman with a foetus in her abdominal region, whose age at death was estimated at 33-35 weeks of gestation. The purpose of this study is to discuss the possible cause of death of the woman and foetus. Skeletons of both individuals were well preserved, permitting a good record of the bones found in the burial, w…
Arqueoentomología y arqueobotánica de los espacios de almacenamiento a largo plazo
Este trabajo pretende contribuir al estudio de las técnicas de almacenamiento utilizadas en el pasado mediante el análisis de los restos entomológicos y vegetales presentes en el granero prehispánico canario de Risco Pintado, fechado entre los siglos IX y XV cal DC. Este tipo de granero se caracteriza por agrupar numerosos silos excavados en la toba volcánica y situarse en lugares escarpados de difícil acceso y fácil defensa. Las excepcionales co…
Aggressive or funerary cannibalism? Skull‐cup and human bone manipulation in Cueva de El Toro (Early Neolithic, southern Iberia)
Evidence from Cueva de El Toro suggests that cannibalism was conducted in the domestic sphere, likely following ritualized practices where the skull-cup could have played a part. Interpretation of this evidence suggests two hypotheses: (a) aggressive cannibalism relates to extreme inter-group violence; and (b) funerary cannibalism is a facet of multi-stage burial practices. Similar evidence has been found in other Neolithic sites of this region a…
Reflexionando sobre la mujer aborigen de Gran Canaria
Esta contribución tiene el propósito de reflexionar sobre el papel de la mujer en la sociedad aborigen de Gran Canaria. En el texto se consideran una serie de evidencias arqueológicas y etnohistóricas que sugieren que las relaciones sociales de los antiguos canarios estaban sustentadas en un sistema de género asimétrico dominado por los hombres. La división sexual del trabajo, un acceso asimétrico a lo producido, la gestión de las relaciones de p…

Por primera vez en el estudio del fenómeno megalítico del sureste de la Península Ibérica se ha obtenido una serie radiocarbónica para el análisis de sus manifestaciones más antiguas. Se han datado 30 restos antropológicos de sepulturas tipo rundgräber y de tumbas de cámara y corredor pertenecientes a las necrópolis de Las Churuletas, La Atalaya y Llano de El Jautón. El análisis estadístico de esta serie radiocarbónica ha permitido establecer las…
Fatal Injuries in a pre-Hispanic Canary Mummy
Perimortem traumas have been identified in a pre-Hispanic Canary mummy (fifth-sixth centuries cal AD). The location and nature of the fractures in the cranium, cervical vertebrae, ribs and both legs indicate a fall from a considerable height, which would have been the cause of death. Supported by forensic anthropology criteria and historical information about the population of origin, the circumstances in which the fatal injuries might have occur…
Interpreting a ritual funerary area at the Early Neolithic site of Tell Qarassa North (South Syria, late 9th millennium BC)
Crania with mutilated facial skeletons
The removal of crania from burials, their ritual use and their disposal, generally in cranial caches, are the most particular characteristics of the funerary ritual in the transition to the Neolithic in the Near East. Despite the importance of this ritual, detailed studies of cranial caches are rare. This funerary ritual has traditionally been interpreted as a form of ancestor‐veneration. However, this study of the cranial caches found at the sit…

The early colonial atlantic world
OBJECTIVES: The Canary Islands are considered one of the first places where Atlantic slave plantations with labourers of African origin were established, during the 15th century AD. In Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), a unique cemetery dated to the 15th and 17th centuries was discovered adjacent to an ancient sugar plantation with funerary practices that could be related to enslaved people. In this article, we investigate the origin and poss…

The Paths of the European Conquest of the Atlantic
European expansion in the Atlantic in the Late Middle Ages often implied the use of violence, involving tactics and weaponry unknown to some of the affected populations. Among the first places to suffer this violence were the Canary Islands, whose conquest lasted the whole of the 15th century. Documentary information about this historical episode is abundant, whereas archaeological evidence testifying to it is very rare. However, an individual fr…
