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 ...
Evaluación arqueológica del proceso de lateralización. Determinación cuantitativa de la lateralidad poblacional, desde los neandertales hasta la actualidad
(2017-06-22)
En las últimas décadas se han incrementado los estudios que analizan la lateralidad de las poblaciones prehistóricas a través de la industria lítica. En esta tesis partimos del estudio de sociedades prehistóricas del ...
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 ...
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 ...
Lost in the quest for flint: a gravettian hunting camp (Usategi, Basque Country)
(Wiley, 2021-11)
[EN]Five decades ago, Usategi Cave (Basque Country) yielded a small Gravettian series that included an Isturitz-type bone point. This paper presents the first C-14 dates for the assemblage and new data obtained by the study ...
