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...
The extraordinary preservation of Cueva de Los Murciélagos (Albuñol, Spain) provides a unique opportunity to identify the materials and techniques involved in archery during Early Neolithic period. Arrows with preserved feathers, tied fibres, adhesive substance, two probable bowstrings have been studied trough an unprecedented multi-proxy investigation, including microscopy biomolecular methods, unravel techniques. study has identified oldest known sinew bowstrings, first evidence for use...
The role of the adoption farming economies in transformation mid-Holocene landscapes Northeast Iberia is under discussion given that Neolithization coincides with cold climatic phase dated ca. 7500–7000 cal BP. main aim this paper to assess whether human activities or climate were driver vegetation changes during Middle Holocene through study archaeobotanical data from three case studies: Cova del Sardo, La Draga, and Coves Fem. application diverse techniques different plant remains provides...
Cordage is related to daily activities and as such has been a basic element for self-suffiency since Prehistory. Due the lack of their preservation in most archaeological contexts, knowledge these technologies past limited. This paper analyses production process through an experimental program cordage assemblage from La Draga (Girona, Spain; 5207–4862 cal BC). The site Early Neolithic north-eastern Iberia, where wide vegetal set fibre-based craft was recovered waterlogged conditions. First,...
Abstract The site Zamostje 2, located in Sergiev-Posad district of Moscow (Russia) on the west bank Dubna River, has provided two Mesolithic and one Early Neolithic occupations dated from 7000 to 5400 cal BC. Thanks waterlogged environment, an exceptional preservation. yielded fishing screens, fences, wooden traps, several small cordage remains elaborated with plant fibres, pine bark floats, fragments paddles, other objects. In this work, we present study nets objective providing new...
Los objetos manufacturados con materias orgánicas raramente se conservan excepto bajo condiciones ambientales específicas, ya sea en medios de sequedad constante, contextos anaeróbicos sumergidos, congelación o por carbonización. Por ello, las técnicas cestería y cordelería, así como primas utilizadas están escasamente documentadas el registro arqueológico del Neolítico peninsular. Se aporta aquí nueva información acerca cesteras Coves Fem (Ulldemolins, Tarragona). Estos restos fueron...
