Abstract The introduction of farming had far-reaching impacts on health, social structure and demography. Although the spread domesticated plants animals has been extensively tracked, it is unclear how these nascent economies developed within different environmental cultural settings. Using molecular isotopic analysis lipids from pottery, here we investigate foods prepared by earliest communities European Atlantic seaboard. Surprisingly, find an absence aquatic foods, including in ceramics...
Research projects undertaken in the Cantabrian region since 1980 have produced new, high-quality information about neolithisation process(es) this area. It is now necessary to review archaeological and test main hypotheses put forward explain it. This paper presents an update on evidence (sites, chronological dates, archaeozoological, archaeobotanical technological information) for early Neolithic region. summarizes recent research region, assesses impact of process during Neolithic, its...
The Neolithic expansion in the Iberian Peninsula is marked by introduction of livestock and domesticated crops which modified subsistence strategies an unprecedented manner. Bulk collagen stable carbon nitrogen isotope analysis has been essential to track these changes, have largely discussed relation particular geographic areas or single case studies. This paper reviews available literature provide a regional, long-term synthesis dietary changes associated with establishment farming economy...
Plant material culture can offer unique insights into the ways of life prehistoric societies; however, its perishable nature has prevented a thorough understanding diverse and complex uses. Sites with exceptional preservation organic materials provide opportunity for further research. The burial site Cueva de los Murciélagos in southern Iberia, uncovered during 19th-century mining activities, contained best-preserved hunter-gatherer basketry Europe, together other artifacts associated first...
This paper presents novel insights into the archaeology of food in ancient South Asia by using lipid residue analysis to investigate what kinds foodstuffs were used ceramic vessels populations Indus Civilisation northwest India. It examines how urban and rural settlements during Mature Harappan period (c.2600/2500–1900 BC), relationship between products within them, identifies whether changes vessel use occurred from Late periods, particularly climatic instability after 4.2 ka BP (c.2100...
Abstract
Shellfish metrical data are a source of information about the exploitation marine resources in past. In this study, we propose methodological approach based on size structures different rocky intertidal gastropod species. Three limpet species ( Patella vulgata , intermedia and ulyssiponensis ) toothed topshell Osilinus lineatus studied from two sites Cantabrian Spain: La Garma A Los Gitanos caves over period 10 000 years, covering Pleistocene–Holocene transition. Data also supplied further...
This study attempts a holistic approach to past foodways in prehistoric northern Gujarat, India, by considering evidence of food production, distribution, preparation and consumption. We present here the results pilot residue study, integrating lipid starch grain analyses, conducted on 28 ceramic vessels from three Chalcolithic/Harappan settlements (c. 3300–2000 cal. BC) which are discussed light previous plant animal acquisition strategies this region. aim explore how inhabitants Gujarat...
NeoNet Atlantic dataset complements the Mediterranean by providing new curated radiocarbon dates for study of pioneer farming front (i.e. Neolithisation, ca. 7500 to 3500 cal BC) in Southern European Coast river basin (Portugal, Western Spain, Southwestern France). The complete is formed id00164_doc_elencoc14.tsv file, a data frame with tab-separated values, and related dataframe: id00164_doc_thesaurus.tsv. contains 1,143 from 254 archaeological sites 817 different contexts (stratigraphic...
En este trabajo, presentamos las actividades llevadas a cabo durante campañas de intervención arqueopaleontológica en la cueva Abauntz, Arraitz-Orkin, Valle Ultzama, los años 2022 y 2023. El objetivo principal del proyecto es caracterizar el tipo e intensidad ocupación nivel h, adscrito al Paleolítico medio, así como posibles niveles prehistóricos subyacentes, con fin obtener una comprensión más profunda contexto naturaleza poblamiento humano esa región. Estas dos se han dividido fases:...
Rationale Alkylresorcinols (AR) are cereal‐specific biomarkers and have recently been found in archaeological pots. However, their low concentrations high susceptibility to degradation make them difficult detect using conventional gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Here we describe the development of a more sensitive liquid (LC/MS) method these compounds. Method A based on use ultra‐high‐performance (UHPLC) coupled an Orbitrap analyser was established validated for detection...
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...
Abstract Bone breakage is one of the most common features in archaeological record. Fractures occur at different times and are classified as fresh or dry depending on presence absence collagen bone. In study human remains, timing occurrence a fracture crucial importance it can sometimes be linked to cause death. Types skull based when they occurred, though not all fractures correspond expected features. This variability added challenge working with bones covered consolidant, which obstructs...
An intact archaeological context named Locus 1 has recently been discovered at Dehesilla Cave (southern Spain). The ritual funerary deposition consists of a complete pottery jar with part human calvarium over the mouth, and was occulted by large stone blocks. This paper offers presentation new data provided mainly stratigraphic, osteological, pottery, lithic radiocarbon analyses. A systematic review relevant evidence in Iberian Peninsula during Early Neolithic (c. 5600–4800 cal BC) provides...
