Modern humans have populated Europe for more than 45,000 years
The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) is one of the Late Pleistocene megafauna species that faced extinction at end last ice age. Although it represented by largest fossil records in Europe and has been subject to several interdisciplinary studies including palaeogenetic research, its fate remains highly controversial. Here, we used a combination hybridisation capture next generation sequencing reconstruct 59 new complete mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) from 14 sites Western, Central Eastern Europe....
ABSTRACT In the western Mediterranean, changes in hunter‐gatherer subsistence strategies have been identified from Early Upper Palaeolithic. These are characterized by broadening of diet and intensification small prey exploitation. Iberian Peninsula region, intensified exploitation is evidenced hunting large quantities European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ), which usually a ubiquitous feature faunal assemblages archaeological sites. Before interpretations significance such can proceed,...
Abstract. The Arbreda Cave provides a detailed archaeological record of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic and is key site for studying human occupation cultural transitions in NE Iberia. Recently, studies lake archives sites presented new evidence on climate changes Iberia correlating with Heinrich events. It, therefore, needs be determined whether signals can identified cave sequence Arbreda, if so, these correlated stratigraphic indicators suggesting continuity or discontinuity occupation....

The northeastern Iberian Peninsula acted as a refuge zone during the Late Pleistocene where persistence of terrestrial ecosystems could provide hunter-gatherers with large prey, mainly horse (Equus ferus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus). Isotopic (δ13C, δ18O, δ15N) dental wear (mesowear microwear) analyses have been applied on remains both species from archaeological sites Arbreda Bora Gran at Serinyà (Girona), evidence human occupation Mousterian to Magdalenian has attested. incremental...
Los restos de crías mamut son raros en el registro fósil la Península Ibérica. Hasta ahora, Cataluña, se conocen solo cueva les Teixoneres (Moià), dónde acaba publicar una dP2 (Álvarez-Lao et al., 2017). En este artículo, presenta un nuevo descubrimiento resto cría procedente del nivel J Arbreda. Su cronología es imprecisa por falta dataciones absolutas fiables. A pesar todo, presencia industria lítica musteriense, las 14C parte alta supreyacente (I) y los resultados series uranio base...
Abstract Arbreda Cave is one of the most important sites in Reclau Caves complex (Serinyà, north‐east Iberian Peninsula). Its stratigraphy reveals that cave was intensively occupied during Upper Palaeolithic. As other archaeological western Mediterranean regions, a shift towards an intensification small prey exploitation has been observed over course this period. This trend indicated by presence large quantities mammal remains, mainly rabbits, archaeofaunal assemblages. However,...
At the end of Middle Palaeolithic around 40,000 years ago, a population archaic humans, Neanderthal men descended from the earliest settlers, lived in Europe. They were perfectly adapted to land and its resources. their ancestors had survived all the climate environmental changes that occurred throughout Pleistocene for hundreds millennia, but they mysteriously disappeared upon arrival anatomically modern men, who originated Africa. The latter humans our own species, Homo sapiens, also...
