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, …
Strategies for Archaeological Data Collection and Management
This article presents an innovative workflow for the acquisition and storage of archaeological data. The system is based on open-source software to enhance method replication and media accessibility. QGIS software is used as the central platform, connected to a spatial database developed in PostgreSQL and managed with the SQL and Python programming languages. The aim is to achieve an efficient, flexible, and reproducible digital method for data c…
Improving the characterization of red coloring matter from prehistoric cave art by means of laboratory confocal XRF depth profiling combined with synchrotron XRF imaging
Geometric and radiometric recording of prehistoric graphic expression
In the studies on Prehistoric Graphic Expression, there are recurrent discussions about the tracings generated by different observers of the same motif. Methodological issues concerning the role of archaeological imaging are often implied within those debates. Do the tracings belong to the observational data exposition chapter, or are they part of the interpretative conclusions? How can the current technological scenario help solve these problems…
An Upper Paleolithic horse mandible with an embedded lithic projectile
Embedded artifacts in osteoarchaeological remains may be key to approaching hunting strategies and other behavioral-related issues such as technological development. However, that kind of evidence is not common within the archaeological record and often not well-characterized, especially for faunal remains from prehistoric sites. Here, we present and discuss a unique case of a horse (Equus caballus) mandible with an embedded lithic remains from t…
Arquitectura defensiva y doméstica del castro del Alto de La Garma (Cantabria)
El castro del Alto de La Garma, en Omoño, en Ribamontán al Monte, es un pequeño recinto fortificado de la Primera Edad del Hierro situado en la zona costera de Cantabria. Las excavaciones realizadas han permitido documentar una ocupación en dos fases. La primera, que se enmarca en la Edad del Hierro i, cuenta con una muralla defensiva construida en terrazas y viviendas circulares, cuya cronología puede situarse entre finales del s. VIII a. C. y f…
La grotte de La Garma (Cantabrie, Espagne)
Les grottes ornées impressionnent par l’ampleur et la force des œuvres pariétales. Mais il ne s’agit que de la face spectaculaire d’une fréquentation probablement plus diversifiée des milieux souterrains. Depuis plusieurs années, l’étude de plusieurs sites emblématiques (grotte Chauvet, Nawarla Gabarnmang, grotte de Bruniquel) a démontré la modification volontaire de ces espaces par les sociétés et a ouvert la porte à de nouveaux regards sur l’ap…
Animals hidden in plain sight
Cantabrian cave art is familiar from photographs reproduced in textbooks, but these two-dimensional images do not capture the irregularities of the rock surfaces on which animals and other designs were painted or engraved. Here, the authors use stereoscopic photography to review the parietal art of La Pasiega cave. By documenting the uneven surfaces of the cave's walls alongside painted and engraved marks, they identify new animal figures and rei…
New insights into the use and circulation of reindeer antler in northern Iberia during the Magdalenian (ca. 21-13 cal ka BP)
Interactions between prehistoric foragers and reindeer at the end of the Pleistocene are still poorly documented in northern Iberia, particularly the reasons and means by which their antlers were collected, processed and circulated. Here we review the main osseous industries dated to between 21 and 13 cal ka BP, focusing on the use and circulation of reindeer antler as a raw material for the production of weapons and tools by Magdalenian foragers…
Highlighting the role of carnivores as a multifunctional resource among the Middle Magdalenian
Upper Palaeolithic Installation Art
The physical nature of cave walls and its impact on Upper Palaeolithic image making and viewing has frequently been invoked in explanations about the function of cave art. The morphological features (convexities, concavities, cracks and ridges) are frequently incorporated into the representations of prey animals that dominate the art, and several studies have attempted to document the relationship between the cave wall and the art in a quantitati…

Aportación al estudio del Castro del Alto de la Garma (Cantabria)
The archaeological site of Alto de La Garma (Omoño, Ribamontán al Monte, Spain) is an early Iron Age hillfort located in the littoral of Cantabria. The excavations have documented a fortification dated to the viith century bc, rebuilt at a later time. Inside the fortified area, some circular huts have been found.This paper presents the macroscopic analysis of the pottery ensemble focused on the technological, morphological and decorative features…
The chronology of Palaeolithic cave art
New views on old hands
Hand stencils are an intriguing feature of prehistoric imagery in caves and rockshelters in several parts of the world, and the recent demonstration that the oldest of those in Western Europe date back to 37 000 years or earlier further enhances their significance. Their positioning within the painted caves of France and Spain is far from random, but responds to the shapes and fissures in the cave walls. Made under conditions of low and flickerin…
Decorated Plaquettes from Magdalenian Habitation Floors in the Lower Gallery at La Garma (Cantabria, Spain)
The Lower Gallery of La Garma is a cave whose original entry was blocked in an advanced moment of the Late Glacial, trapping inside hundreds of square meters of settlement floors dated to the Middle Magdalenian. These archaeological floors consist of thousands of bones, stone and antler tools and artefacts and are, in some areas, spatially organised with artificial stone structures that define subcircular enclosures. They extend through the entry…
Les plaquettes gravées des sols d’habitat magdaléniens dans la galerie inférieure de La Garma (Cantabres, Espagne)
La Galerie Inférieure de La Garma est une grotte dont l’entrée originelle fut bloquée à un stade avancé de la Dernière Glaciation, piégeant à l’intérieur des centaines de mètres carrés de sol d’occupation attribués au Magdalénien moyen. Ces sols archéologiques comprennent des milliers d’os, d’outils et d’artéfacts lithiques et sur bois animal. Ils présentent, dans certaines zones, une organisation spatiale avec des structures artificielles en pie…
Étude Archéomalacologique Du Gisement Mésolithique De El Truchiro (Omoño, Ribamontán Al Monte, Cantabrie)
El Truchiro est une des cavités du Complexe Archéologique de La Garma (Omoño, Ribamontán al Monte, Cantabrie). Dans cette grotte, a été fouillé un dépôt archéologique comprenant des vestiges datant du Chalcolithique et du Mésolithique, parmi lesquels on a répertorié une grande quantité de mollus ques marins et terrestres. Dans la seconde des couches, scellées par deux croûtes stalagmitiques, on a répertorié un amas coquillier en excellent état de…
Les colorants dans l’art pariétal et mobilier paléolithique de La Garma (Cantabrie, Espagne)
Decorated plaquettes from Magdalenian habitation floors in the Lower Gallery at La Garma (Cantabria, Spain)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is the most costly viral pathogen facing a modern pig industry. A unique feature of the virus is the ability to cause severe clinical disease and maintain a life-long subclinical infection. Persistence at the population level poses the biggest challenge for the successful control and elimination of the disease. A mechanistic basis for persistence includes the evasion of innate and adapti…

Sols et structures d’habitat du Paléolithique supérieur, nouvelles données depuis les Cantabres
El Campaniforme en la región cantábrica
Este artículo pretende una aproximación al fenómeno campaniforme considerado no como una manifestación aislada, sino en su imbricación dentro de las estructuras y las dinámicas socioeconómicas de las sociedades calcolíticas del Cantábrico. Obviamos el estudio descriptivo y formal de los materiales, la aproximación tipológico-comparativa que, ya desarrollada en un marco de investigación eminentemente empirista, no resulta esencial para el progreso…
