Abstract Time and circumstances for the disappearance of Neanderthals its relationship with advent Modern Humans are not yet sufficiently resolved, especially in case Iberian Peninsula. Reconstructing palaeoenvironmental conditions during last glacial period is crucial to clarifying whether climate deteriorations or competition contacts played pivotal role driving extinction. A high-resolution loess record from Upper Tagus Basin central Spain demonstrates that Neanderthal abandonment inner...
Introduction and objectives Although the Iberian Peninsula is a key area for understanding Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition demise of Neandertals, valuable evidence these debates remains scarce problematic in its interior regions. Sparse data supporting late Neandertal persistence have been recently refuted hence new needed build models on timing causes disappearance inland Iberia whole peninsula. In this study we provide from Los Casares, cave located highlands Spanish Meseta, where...
The Iberian Peninsula is a key region for unraveling human settlement histories of Eurasia during the period spanning decline Neandertals and emergence anatomically modern humans (AMH). There no evidence occupation in central Iberia after disappearance ~42,000 years ago until approximately 26,000 ago, rendering "nobody's land" Aurignacian period. Abrigo de la Malia provides irrefutable settlements dating back to 36,200 31,760 calibrated before present (cal B.P.) This site also records...
Se presentan los resultados del estudio material arqueológico correspondiente al nivel 3 abrigo de Peña Capón, cuyo depósito, conocido desde 1970, únicamente había sido objeto una revisión preliminar a finales la década 1990. El análisis colección ha incluido el tecnológico y tipológico industria lítica ósea, zooarqueológico tafonómico fauna, documentación grabados sobre soportes óseos, así como datación radiocarbónica varias muestras óseas. Los datos obtenidos nos han permitido relacionar...
Se presentan los primeros resultados de proyectos investigación dirigidos al análisis cronoestratigráfico las terrazas del río Tajo en el entorno Toledo. El estudio se ha centrado niveles fluviales Pleistoceno Medio y Superior con yacimientos paleontológicos achelenses valoración tecnológica general similar conjunto lítico Pinedo (colección Máximo Martín Aguado). En presente trabajo incluyen dataciones por IRSL AAR terraza +25−30 m que contienen Cien Fanegas. Las edades obtenidas ( > 280...
The currently most widely accepted model of population dynamics in Southwest Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum depicts Iberian Peninsula as a human refugium. However, this refugium was generally thought to be limited coastal areas Iberia, while interior lands Spanish plateau were explicitly excluded significant settlement. According what we have termed "crossing-area model," these inner territories supposedly had no Solutrean settlements, only ephemeral visits corresponding passage...
Abstract As the south-westernmost region of Europe, Iberian Peninsula stands as a key area for understanding process modern human dispersal into Eurasia. However, precise timing, ecological setting and cultural context this remains controversial concerning its spatiotemporal distribution within different regions peninsula. While traditional models assumed that whole hinterland was avoided by humans due to factors until retreat Last Glacial Maximum, recent research has demonstrated...
El yacimiento de Las Delicias (Madrid), conocido desde la excavación practicada en el sitio por H. Obermaier y P. Wernert a finales 1917, ha sido entonces uno los referentes clásicos del Paleolítico valle Manzanares, pesar las variadas interpretaciones que originado su problemática colección industrial. Tras un análisis historiográfico sus interpretaciones, presentamos aquí primer avance resultados obtenidos proyecto investigación sobre este yacimiento, iniciado invierno 2008. Este proyecto,...
Históricamente, la península ibérica ha presentado un registro de gran relevancia para el conocimiento las sociedades paleolíticas. Sin embargo, en lo referido a primera ocupación humanos modernos y desaparición los neandertales, dicho presenta problema fundamental: anómala escasez evidencias amplias regiones del interior peninsular. El proyecto MULTIPALEOIBERIA, financiado por Consejo Europeo Investigación (ERC), asume que dicha se debe déficit histórico investigación. Por ello, plantea...
The settlement of cold and arid environments by Pleistocene hunter-gatherers has been a heated topic in Paleolithic Archaeology the Quaternary Sciences for years. In Iberian Peninsula, key area studying human adaptations to such is composed large interior upland regions northern southern plateaus ( Mesetas ) bordering areas. As, traditionally, these have relatively under-investigated compared ecologically more favored coastal areas peninsula, our knowledge whole hinterland remains scarce...
The open-air Palaeolithic site of Las Delicias, located in the Manzanares river valley (Madrid, Spain), has been object recent archaeological excavations during 2008 and 2009. Field data gathered at processed through Geographic Information Systems software, results have represented 3D. We achieved a topographic database which associated with 3D planimetries GIS. At micro-spatial level, this will allow future studies on different topics, such as genesis deposits their conservation,...
La transición del III al II milenio cal AC en la cuenca alta Tajo cuenta con escasas dataciones radiométricas, a pesar de disponer un notable registro arqueológico. aportación nuevas contribuye asentar puntos referencia para contextos cerámica campaniforme y los primeros atribuibles Edad Bronce, una realidad que se ha vuelto especialmente compleja las últimas décadas. En esta noticia damos conocer cuatro radiométricas proceden contexto finales excavado cueva Noguera (Val San García,...
The central Meseta is a high plateau located in the heart of Iberian Peninsula. Abundant evidence Lower and Middle Palaeolithic occupations region contrasts with scarce human presence during early Upper Palaeolithic. On this basis, it has been suggested that climatic downturns triggered temporary abandonment, or near Last Glacial period. We conducted three archaeological surveys Guadalajara province, southern part region, 2009, 2010, 2017. Survey results, interpreted light habitat...
En el verano de 2011 se iniciaron trabajos sondeo en la cueva del Higueral-Guardia (Málaga, España). Los sondeos han determinado existencia una importante secuencia con niveles Paleolítico Superior y Medio todavía estudio. No obstante, actividad perpetrada por los clandestinos cueva, ha limitado significativamente las posibilidades interpretación solutrenses. este trabajo pretendemos, además realizar presentación preliminar datos obtenidos, establecer discusión sobre valor que tipo registros...
Abstract In this paper, we present the first results obtained after new fieldwork and laboratory studies of chert catchment sources during Middle Upper Palaeolithic in inland Iberia, a region that has been traditionally depicted as marginal sparsely populated last glacial due to its harsh ecological conditions compared coastal areas Iberian Peninsula. Our main aim is determine mobility strategies social networks Neandertals modern humans settled Iberia neighbouring regions, eventually test...
