Hydrotalcite and Hydrocalumite in Mortar Binders from the Medieval Castle of Portilla (Álava, North Spain): Accurate Mineralogical Control to Achieve More Reliable Chronological Ages
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Mortars from different stratigraphic units at Portilla Castle (Alava, North Spain) have been analyzed for mineralogical characterization before radiocarbon dating. The mortar binder at Portilla Castle is composed not only ...

Combining Small-Vertebrate, Marine and Stable-Isotope Data to Reconstruct Past Environments
(Nature, 2015)
Three very different records are combined here to reconstruct the evolution of environments in
the Cantabrian Region during the Upper Pleistocene, covering ~35.000 years. Two of these records
come from Antoliñako Koba ...
Non-destructive Screening Methodology based on ED-XRF for the classification of Medieval and post-Medieval Archaeological Ceramics
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Compositional analysis of ceramics plays a crucial role in Archaeology because following the proper methodology, it enables to obtain knowledge about past human behavior. In this regard, X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry ...

(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 ...
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 ...
Isotopic evidence for the reconstruction of diet and mobility during village formation in the Early Middle Ages: Las Gobas (Burgos, northern Spain)
(Springer, 2017-07-10)
Strontium, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes of human bone and tooth remains have been used to reconstruct residential mobility and diet of early medieval populations at Las Gobas from the sixth to eleventh centuries. Most ...
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, ...
Influence of catchment processes on fluvial morphology and river habitats
(AIL, 2011)
Fluvial morphology is conditioned by three basic elements: flow regime, sediment yield and valley characteristics. These
elements are controlled by factors operating at different spatial and time scales, within and outside ...
