Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand genetic history and movements people across globe. Focusing on Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals Iberia (see Perspective by Vander Linden). The findings provide a comprehensive time transect region. Linguistics analysis archaeological human remains dating about 7000 years ago present elucidate impact prehistoric historic migrations Europe North Africa. Science ,...
The Canary Islands' indigenous people have been the subject of substantial archaeological, anthropological, linguistic and genetic research pointing to a most probable North African Berber source. However, neither agreement about exact point origin nor model for colonization islands has established. To shed light on these questions, we analyzed 48 ancient mitogenomes from 25 archaeological sites seven main islands. Most lineages observed in samples Mediterranean distribution, belong...
Abstract The indigenous population of the Canary Islands, which colonized archipelago around 3 rd century CE, provides both a window into past North Africa and unique model to explore effects insularity. We generate genome-wide data from 40 individuals seven islands, dated between –16 centuries CE. Along with components already present in Moroccan Neolithic populations, Canarian natives show signatures related Bronze Age expansions Eurasia trans-Saharan migrations. lack gene flow islands...
En este trabajo se toman en consideración algunas de las materias que el curso primeras décadas del siglo XXI han sido objeto debate o reformulación la investigación arqueológica canaria. un ejercicio reflexión global abordan asuntos como precisión y fiabilidad C14 herramienta análisis histórico islas, posibilidad eventos migratorios diferentes al primera ocupación humana permanente, aislamiento adaptación paradigmas invariables los agentes sociales involucrados procesos cambio observables...
El desarrollo de la arqueología feminista y género en década 1980 supuso posterior introducción Canarias algunas estrategias acercamiento al pasado orientadas a analizar las relaciones los roles condiciones mujeres indígenas desde perspectivas críticas con tradicional. Sin embargo, ese interés ha quedado esencialmente constreñido ámbito bioantropología. En este artículo se ofrece un breve recorrido por principales contribuciones reconstrucción sistemas vida mujeres, fundamentalmente el marco...
Se analiza el estado de la investigación sobre las prácticas funerarias poblaciones prehispánicas Gran Canaria. Para ello se valoran propuestas este tema desde los inicios arqueología en isla, atendiendo a grandes tendencias y planteamientos cada época. Con punto partida, presenta situación actual, según nuevas vías categorías análisis. Básicamente, han seleccionado algunas más novedosas distintos aspectos práctica sepulcral, gestión del mundo funerario especialmente su imbricación devenir...
Abstract The island of Gran Canaria was inhabited in pre‐Hispanic times by people North African origin who arrived on the towards second half first millennium BC. In previous studies, we reported that there are some differences between coastal inhabitants from Canaria, mainly buried tumuli, and those central mountains, caves. For example, prevalence auricular exostoses is higher among population interred tumuli when compared with inland population. This finding may be explained practice...
Auditory exostoses are bone anomalies located in the external auditory canal. The bulk of clinical observations and some experimental data support idea that their development depends on prolonged exposure to cold water. This study was performed order analyze prevalence among prehispanic population Gran Canaria, comparing it between men women individuals buried coastal regions central highlands. We analyzed 323 crania, 41 which showed exostoses. Marked differences were observed highlands...
Summary This paper examines the identification of kinship relations in archaeological multiple burials and advocates application different methods lines research to clarify such issues relation funerary practices. Recognizing family relationships – an important task on prehistoric societies is especially complicated interpretations have often been made without adequate empirical basis. Bioarchaeological, isotopic DNA analyses applied triple burial Los Tolmos (Cogotas I culture, Iberian...
In archaeological cultures, classifying historical processes is a complex task when their timeframe missing. Such circumstance has represented secular handicap hindering the knowledge of first inhabitants Gran Canaria, accentuated by shortage chronological references that allow understanding occupation territory defined its insular condition. This led to idea 'simple culture' in which numerous expressions development these populations have always been same, without significant changes, at...
This paper delves into the proposal for periodisation of funerary practices among Ancient Canarians. New radiocarbon dates are provided together with a Bayesian treatment used to estimate onset and later tempo three burial categories previously established: caves, tumuli, pit-graves/cists, as well their temporal activity patterns. Changes in can only be understood within social framework reference which case Gran Canaria needs reconsidered. To substantiate this claim, period corresponding...
Abstract Objectives This paper addresses the prevalence and pattern of physical violence in prehispanic society Gran Canaria discusses its link with social structure insular context which that people lived. Materials Methods 347 crania from Guayadeque Ravine (575–1415 AD) have been examined order to determine frequency, types, location, timing trauma. Results Craniofacial injuries are present 27.4% examined. Only 2% display perimortem Most (84.3%) correspond depressed blunt force trauma, an...
Abstract European expansion in the Atlantic Late Middle Ages often implied use of violence, involving tactics and weaponry unknown to some affected populations. Among first places suffer this violence were Canary Islands, whose conquest lasted whole 15th century. Documentary information about historical episode is abundant, whereas archaeological evidence testifying it very rare. However, an individual from indigenous funerary context Gran Canaria (placed a collective burial cave wrapped...
Background: This study relies on the discovery of two pit burials (LTA and LTB) Bronze Age Cogotas I archaeological culture (circa 3600–2950 BP) in Spain. LTA was a single burial LTB contained three skeletal remains adults newborn or foetus at term.Aim: The central question posed by this find whether tomb constituted traditional nuclear family (father, mother son daughter).Methods: Ancient forensic DNA protocols were employed to obtain reliable results. Autosomal, X-STR markers mitochondrial...
