The return to the Iberian Peninsula: first Quaternary record of Muscardinus and a palaeogeographical overview of the genus in Europe
(Elsevier, 2015-05-18)
Although the earliest record of the genus Muscardinus dates from the Middle Miocene in Spain, no mention has been reported since the Lower Pliocene in the Iberian Peninsula. In this paper, Quaternary fossil remains of a ...
Application of parabolic cracks in determining handedness in archaeological remains. The case study of the Axlor site (Bizkaia, Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] Lithic artefacts are a potential source of information for the study of handedness in different human species. In flint flakes, a system of fractures is developed (parabolic cracks) around the point of percussion in ...
Quartzite procurement in conglomerates and deposits:Geoarchaeological characterization of potential catchmentareas in the central part of the Cantabrian Region, Spain
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Raw material characterization in Paleolithic archaeology has widened our knowledge of Middle Paleolithic societies. Procurement of raw material, specifically flint, has allowed the tracing of the mobility of both stones ...
Using Mg/Ca Ratios from the Limpet Patella depressa Pennant, 1777 Measured by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) to Reconstruct Paleoclimate
(MDPI, 2021-03-25)
Measurement of the elemental composition of shells is increasingly emerging as an avenue for obtaining high-resolution insights into paleoclimate and past seasonality. Several studies have shown significant correlations ...
The Contribution of Open-Air Sites to the Environmental Reconstruction of the Gravettian at the "Basque Crossroads" (North Iberia)"
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
The reconstruction of the Cantabrian Gravettian and its palaeoenvironmental sequence is based on cave
stratigraphies, which generally indicate a very rigorous climate (intense cold, occasionally dry and other
times ...
Shell midden people in northern Iberia. New data from the mesolithic rock shelter of J3 (Basque Country, Spain)
(Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca, 2010)
[EN]In the course of a sondage dug in the rock shelter of J3, in the Jaizkibel mountains (at the north-western tip of Guipúzcoa), the body of a adult man was located buried inside a shell midden. This shell midden had not ...
The southwesternmost record of Sicista (Mammalia; Dipodidae) in Eurasia, with a review of the palaeogeography and palaeoecology of the genus in Europe
(Elsevier, 2012-07-27)
We describe the southwesternmost specimen of Sicista betulina (Mammalia; Dipodidae) and of the genus Sicista found to date in Eurasia, which comes from the early Late Pleistocene (MIS 5) site of Lezetxiki II (Arrasate, ...
Comparison of Mg/Ca concentration series from Patella depressa limpet shells using CF-LIBS and LA-ICP-MS
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
The elemental composition of marine mollusk shells can offer valuable information about environmental conditions experienced by a mollusk during its lifespan. Previous studies have shown significant correlations between ...
Quartzite Procurement in Conglomerates and Deposits: Geoarchaeological Characterization of Potential Catchment Areas in the Central Part of the Cantabrian Region, Spain
(Wiley, 2021-05)
Raw material characterization in Paleolithic archaeology has widened our knowledge of Middle Paleolithic societies. Procurement of raw material, specifically flint, has allowed the tracing of the mobility of both stones ...
A Great Step Forward. Lithic Raw Material Procurement and Management among Palaeolithic Hunter -Gatherers in the Basque Crossroads
(School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh, 2020)
This paper is divided into three sections. The first section describes the historiographic evolution of the study of prehistoric lithic raw materials in the Basque Crossroads (in the north of the Iberian Peninsula) during ...
