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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
