The identification of different prehistoric activity areas and Neanderthal behavior is one the main research goals at Abric Romaní site, which a well‐preserved microstratified Mousterian archaeological site. A conspicuous occupation surface excavated in level N yielded remarkably preserved set aligned combustion inner zone living surface. This suggests analogy with sleeping‐and‐resting modern foragers. Multidisciplinary analyses suggest (1) diachronic (2) similar use floor. sleeping area...
There is the tendency to assume that endangered species have been both genetically and demographically healthier in past, so any genetic erosion observed today was caused by their recent decline. The Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus) suffered a dramatic continuous decline during 20th century, now shows extremely low genome- species-wide diversity among other signs of genomic erosion. We analyze ancient (N = 10), historical 245), contemporary 172) samples with microsatellite mitogenome data...
ABSTRACT The role of small game in Upper Palaeolithic economies has been examined by several authors over the past few decades. Among fauna, rabbits seem to have a widely exploited resource certain geographic areas, making them one main sources for subsistence hunter–gatherer groups southwestern Europe. Examining aspects such as anatomic profiles, demographics and taphonomic modifications (including bone breakage) allows us approach determining origins accumulation assemblages establishing...
Abstract The sediments of the TD6 level Gran Dolina Cave at Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain, consist a series mud flows with angular clasts. deposit has two parts: an upper part, known as Aurora stratum, which yields Homo antecessor remains, and lower part rather homogeneous sediment. excavation did not reveal sequence diachronic occupations. Instead, contextual stratigraphic studies permitted us to describe delimit micro‐units forming deposit. study distribution archaeological remains...
El yacimiento de Navalmaíllo es un abrigo kárstico localizado en entorno montaña cerca del río Lozoya. La ubicación permite control entorno, siguiendo las migraciones animales y para el establecimiento temporal los grupos humanos. Las dificultades asociadas con la temporalidad relacionada procesos ocupacionales yacimientos, desvelan problemática vinculada a sincronía diacronía ocupaciones que componen palimpsestos. arqueoestratigrafía ha permitido conocer integridad depósito, cómo se visto...
Abstract Objectives In the last years different methodologies have been developed to reconstruct worn teeth. this article, we propose a new 2‐D methodology enamel of lower molars. Our main goals are molars with high level accuracy when measuring relevant histological variables and validate calculating errors associated measurements. Methods This is based on polynomial regression equations, has validated using two dental variables: cuspal thickness crown height protoconid. order perform...
