Bridging morphometrics and Archaeogenetics
The petrous part of the temporal bone is a target for ancient DNA research due to its biomolecular preservation, yet destructive sampling risks losing valuable morphological information. Bony labyrinth morphology, captured by high-resolution 3D imaging, carries strong taxonomic and evolutionary signals, but its bioarchaeological application remains limited. We assessed the potential of bony labyrinth geometric morphometrics (GMM) for species iden…
Herding the Early Neolithic
Early Neolithic communities in the eastern Iberian Peninsula developed integrated agropastoral economies, but the specific dynamics of herd management and their interactions with local ecosystems remain insufficiently understood. The Cova de les Cendres site, located in a Mediterranean karstic environment, offers valuable evidence for examining early herding strategies and their adaption to local ecological conditions. This study focuses on Secto…
Caracterización de las prácticas ganaderas del yacimiento de Niuet (l’Alqueria d’Asnar, Alicante) en el contexto de los asentamientos del IV al III milenio a. C. en el este de la península ibérica
El análisis arqueozoológico del yacimiento de Niuet (l’Alqueria d’Asnar, Alicante) ha permitido caracterizar la importancia económica de la ganadería durante el final del Neolítico en el valle medio del Serpis. Los resultados muestran el predominio de las especies domésticas sobre las silvestres. Aunque los caprinos son la especie más abundante, los bovinos adquieren una mayor importancia económica, evidenciando un cambio significativo en las est…

Aproximación bayesiana a las dinámicas secuenciales de los campos de hoyos. El caso de Camí de Missena (La Pobla del Duc, València)
Los poblados de hoyos presentan una problemática particular a la hora de interpretar su evolución a lo largo del tiempo a causa de su peculiar estratigrafía discontinua. Uno de estos lugares es el Camí de Missena, que fue clasificado como un asentamiento típico del iii milenio cal AC, aunque desde el principio se vieron ciertos datos arqueológicos que remitían a momentos muy anteriores. Se ha utilizado la estadística bayesiana para relacionar las…
A multi-stage Bayesian modelling for building the chronocultural sequence of the Late Mesolithic at Cueva de la Cocina (Valencia, Eastern Iberia)
Sequence and context for the Cocina cave neolithic pottery
Cocina cave has been considered one of the main sites when explaining the transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic in the Iberian Mediterranean façade. But the current review of its stratigraphy has evidenced important post-depositional disturbances affecting those layers where Neolithic pottery is present. These taphonomic problems question the usefulness of this record in any detailed approach to a potential process of acculturation of the local…
A multi-method approach with machine learning to evaluating the distribution and intensity of prehistoric land use in Eastern Iberia
The present study seeks to better understand the coupling of social and biophysical systems during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, a period characterized by changing interglacial conditions as well as human population expansion and intensified ecosystem management. The approach consists of a combination of patch-based archaeological survey methods, sediment column sampling for paleoenvironmental data, geospatial analysis, and machine learning …
Linking Up Bell Beakers in the Iberian Peninsula
Many studies in complexity theory employ agent-based models whose interactions can be expressed as networks. In such models, the pattern of interactions between actors is crucial, and the network topology that emerges from the raw data can be characterized through many metrics. One tool previously used in archaeology studies has the potential to deal with networks in social contexts at different scales of analysis: social network analysis (SNA). …
The chronology of archaeological assemblages based on an automatic Bayesian procedure
The purpose of this work is to show an automatic Bayesian procedure to obtain accurate chronological information of archaeological assemblages characterized by palimpsest or without radiocarbon dates and whose temporal information comes only from bifacial flint arrowheads. In this paper, a classification method based on the Dirichlet-multinomial inferential process and its posterior predictive probability distribution is discussed. Its purpose is…
Iron Age craftworks in the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. An approach based in Cultural Inheritance Theory
The aim of this paper is to examine the craftwork on hard materials of animal origin from the Iron Age of the southeast of the Iberian Peninsula. We deal with the processes of craftsmanship, transmission of knowledge and the circulation of ivory combs and perforated bone plates. The Cultural Inheritance Theory offers a framework to help identify social dynamics in the craft productions and the transmission of the cultural knowledge between and am…
Socio-Ecological Contingencies with Climate Changes over the Prehistory in the Mediterranean Iberia
We conducted palynological, sedimentological, and chronological analyses of a coastal sediment sequence to investigate landscape evolution and agropastoral practices in the Nao Cap region (Spain, Western Mediterranean) since the Holocene. The results allowed for a reconstruction of vegetation, fire, and erosion dynamics in the area, implicating the role of fire in vegetation turnover at 5300 (mesophilous forests replaced by sclerophyllous scrubs)…
Timing the Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition in the Iberian Peninsula
In this paper, we describe the radiocarbon dataset compiled in the context of the project HAR2015-68962 EVOLPAST: Dinámicas evolutivas y patrones de variabilidad cultural de los últimos cazadores-recolectores y el primer Neolítico en el este peninsular (7000–4500 cal. BC) funded by the Spanish government. The dataset offers the most complete and public radiocarbon dataset focus on the Neolithic Transition in the Iberian Peninsula. Funding stateme…

A Bayesian Approach for Timing the Neolithization in Mediterranean Iberia
In this paper, we compile recent 14 C dates related to the Neolithic transition in Mediterranean Iberia and present a Bayesian chronological approach for testing the dual model , a mixed model proposed to explain the spread of farming and husbandry processes in eastern Iberia. The dual model postulates the coexistence of agricultural pioneers and indigenous Mesolithic foraging groups in the Middle Holocene. We test this general model with more re…
Spatial and Temporal Diversity During the Neolithic Spread in the Western Mediterranean
New insigths relating to the beginning of the Neolithic in the eastern Spain
Iberian Neolithic Networks
Recent approaches have described the evolutionary dynamics of the first Neolithic societies as a cycle of rise and fall. Several authors, using mainly c14 dates as a demographic proxy, identified a general pattern of a boom in population coincident with the arrival of food production economies followed by a rapid decline some centuries afterwards in multiple European regions. Concerning Iberia, we also noted that this phenomenon correlates with a…

The origins of agriculture in Iberia
Here we discuss the importance of using the rich and growing database of high-precision, audited radiocarbon dates for high-resolution bottom-up modelling to focus on problems concerning the spread of the Neolithic in the Iberia. We also compare the spread of the Late Mesolithic (so-called Geometric) and the Early Neolithic using our modelling environment. Our results suggest that the source of radiocarbon data used to evaluate alternative hypoth…
Dynamic landscapes, artifact taphonomy, and landuse modeling in the western Mediterranean
The Polop Alto valley, in eastern Spain, is characteristic of many Mediterranean landscapes. It has been sporadically reoccupied over the course of at least 80 kyr. Its landforms have undergone various geomorphic processes resulting from late Quaternary environmental fluctuations. During the Holocene, the valley has been modified by millennia of extensive land clearance, cultivation, and terracing. As a result, the evidence for human activity and…
Long-Term Socioecology and Contingent Landscapes
Land-Use Dynamics and Socioeconomic Change
The Polop Alto valley, in eastern Spain, serves as the focus of a study of long-term temporal and spatial dynamics in human land use. The data discussed here derive from intensive, pedestrian, non-site survey. We employ the concept of artifact taphonomy to assess the various natural and cultural processes responsible for accumulation and distribution patterns of artifacts. Our results suggest that the most significant land-use changes in the Polo…

Biological mineral content in Iberian skeletal cremains for control of diagenetic factors employing multivariate statistics
Surviving the Holocene
For hunter-gatherer groups, the dramatic changes in climate at the end of the last glacial cycle necessitated rearrangement of land use, including shifts in mobility strategies, settlement location, and resource use. We examine these behavioral changes using lithic attribute data as well as spatial distributions of artifacts and features. Using data from intensive survey and excavation, we trace human ecological response through the onset of the …

Lanthanides Revealing Anthropogenic Impact within a Stratigraphic Sequence
Difficulties to differentiate between anthropogenic and natural processes in the formation of archaeological deposits are crucial for a correct interpretation not only of the actions involved in the development of archaeological sites, but also of their occupation-abandonment dynamics and the understanding of their spatial behaviors and relationship with the environment. We have carried out lanthanides (rare earth elements “REE”) analysis to dist…
