The IHG index for hydromorphological quality assessment of rivers and streams: updated version
(AIL, 2011)
[EN]An updated version of the IHG index is presented. The index is based on three appraisal parameters: 1) the functional quality of the fluvial system, including a) flow regime naturalness, b) sediment supply and mobility, ...
A life-stage approach for decomposing spatiotemporal population changes along an urban-rural gradient: implications for regional planning
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-04-14)
The study of population changes across space and time of cohorts at different life stages is relevant for regional planning, but it is often not taken into account. We focus on a case study along the urban-rural gradient ...

(2020-11-02)
Aveiro, a city located in northern Portugal that lies next to the Atlantic Ocean, has a long potting tradition.
Indeed, during the 15th–17th centuries, this region played an important role in the maritime trade between ...
Upper Palaeolithic hunter–gatherer societies in the Basque Country (Iberian Peninsula) in the light of palaeoenvironmental dynamics in the last Glacial Period: cultural adaptations and the use of biotic resources
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-07)
Upper Palaeolithic archaeological sites in the Basque Country have been excavated for over a century. They have yielded a rich palaeoenvironmental record with zoological and botanical remains that have been obtained in ...
Neanderthal teeth from Lezetxiki (Arrasate, Iberian Peninsula): New insights and reassessment
(Wiley, 2023-04)
Objectives
We reassess the taxonomic assignment and stratigraphic context of a permanent upper first molar and a permanent lower third premolar recovered from the archeological site of Lezetxiki in the North of the ...
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 ...

[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, ...
