EuropeGuadix-baza basin indicating some similarity with East African woodlands.On the other hand, environments did not resemble grassland savannas.The browse-dominated diets of ungulates from Barranco Le on and Fuente Nueva 3 further suggest palaeoenvironments where grasses were a minor component vegetation.In slightly older site Venta Micena that has no evidence for presence hominins, dental ecometric estimates indicate climate similar to Mediterranean "forest steppe" existing in...
Meat consumption by early hominins is a hotly debated issue. A key question concerns their access to large mammal carcasses, including megafauna. Currently, the evidence of anthropic cut marks on proboscidean bones older than -or close to- 1.0 Ma are restricted archaeological sites Dmanisi (Georgia), Olduvai (Tanzania), Gona (Ethiopia), Olorgesailie (Kenya) and La Boella (Spain). During an inspection almost complete carcass Mammuthus meridionalis (FN3-5-MPS) from Oldowan site Fuente Nueva 3...
The Central Balkans are a key biogeographical region in Southern Europe, influenced by central European-Mediterranean climate, which acted as refugium for flora and fauna, favored the dispersion of Neanderthals migration modern human populations during Late Glacial Period. This study presents pollen analyses sediment hyaena coprolites from Pešturina Cave Serbia to reconstruct vegetation landscapes faced Balkan early Anatomically Modern Humans between MIS 5e-3. Between 5e-5c (archaeological...
The scarcity of pictorial reconstructions focusing on Quaternary flora and vegetation prompts a reevaluation traditional zoocentrism in future paleoartistic research. Here we present renderings depicting landscapes around the Orce Archaeological Zone (OAZ), encompassing sites dating from 1.6 to 1.2 million years ago during Early Pleistocene Guadix-Baza Basin southern Spain. Four pieces are based fossil pollen data Venta Micena 1 (VM1), Barranco León (BL), Fuente Nueva 3 (FN3). artwork...
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...
This paper presents an artistic paleolandscape experiment based primarily on recent palynological data from the Paleolithic site of Pešturina, in Central Balkans Serbia. These are integrated into general knowledge flora and vegetation changes southern Carpathians obtained through other paleobotanical sequences, especially pollen records lake sediments. The paleoartistic proposal includes several drawing attempts at different geographic scales with emphasis plant taxa their position within...
Abstract This article aims to delve into the reality of glacial refuges forests and tree species (including conifers, mesothermophilous angiosperms xerothermic scrub) during cold dry phases Iberian Pleistocene in which there is evidence occupation Middle Palaeolithic people. The research framework focuses on eastern sector Peninsula due physiographic, palaeobotanical archaeological peculiarities, substantiated by recent studies. We contend that some Neanderthal occupations developed context...
The tempo and mode of colonization the Iberian Peninsula (IP) by Cannabis sativa, its further internal spreading potential cultural environmental factors involved remain unknown. available continental-wide European meta-analyses using pollen archeological evidence account for only a few IP sites, insufficient sound assessment. This paper presents nearly comprehensive database almost 60 sites with palynological analyzes corresponding spatiotemporal patterns. first scattered records this type...
Palynological investigations in the Orce Archaeological Zone (OAZ) (Guadix-Baza Basin, Granada, Spain), Venta Micena 1 (VM1), Barranco León (BL) and Fuente Nueva 3 (FN3) are presented. This archaeological region is connected with first Homo populations Western Eurasia during Early Pleistocene. The VM1 pollen record characterized by Ephedra, to a lesser extent, Pinus, Juniperus evergreen Quercus, occassionally accompanied Olea, Genisteae, Erica, deciduous Alnus, Castanea, Fraxinus, Salix...
The study of Neanderthal-Environment interactions very often lacks precise data that match the chrono-geographical frame human activities. Here, we reconstruct Neanderthals' hunting grounds within three distinct habitats using dental microwear analysis combined with zooarchaeological data. predation patterns toward ungulates are discussed in term frequency (NISP/MNI) and potential meat intake (MAM). Unit IIIa Teixoneres Cave (MIS 3, NE Spain) corresponds to a mosaic landscape, IIIb was more...
