Shell middens and soil terraces as archives of human-littoral interactions since the first settlement of northwestern Tenerife, the Canary Islands
Shell middens on the coasts of the Canary Islands attest to past indigenous lifeways. However, their potential as records of local environmental conditions in coastal areas, where sediment deposits are rare, remains to be assessed. Here we use a multi-proxy approach (malacology, pollen, NPPs, phytoliths and microcharcoal quantification) in two shell middens and one associated soil terrace deposit in the coastal area of the Isla Baja (Buenavista d…
Auto-fluorescent phytoliths
Excavating Alcatrazes, Santiago Island, Cape Verde
Excavations at Alcatrazes, the seat of Cape Verde's short-lived second captaincy, have exposed a Portuguese colonial settlement, demonstrating continued occupation after the relocation of its official offices. The results include insights into early Luso-African practices and the presence of West African and local-made pottery, with environmental samples 'clocking' colonial introductions

Phytoliths from modern plants in the Canary Islands as a reference for the reconstruction of long-term vegetation change and culture-environment interactions
The Canary Islands were the first part of the Macaronesian archipelago to have been settled by humans. The various ways in which the indigenous inhabitants and later European colonisers interacted with the native and endemic flora is a central topic for archaeologists, geographers and ecologists. Floristic changes can be studied from phytoliths which are plant microfossils with a high potential for preservation in sediment deposits and they can h…
Taming Fogo Island
Cabo Verde remained uninhabited until 1460 CE, when European sailors founded a settlement in Santiago, and soon after in Fogo island. The degree to which different island ecosystems in Cabo Verde have been transformed by humans remains uncertain because of a scarcity of historical information and archaeological evidence. Disentangling these processes from natural ones is complicated in islands with a history of volcanic impacts and other natural …
