Abstract The indigenous populations of La Palma (Canary Islands), who arrived on the island from Northwest Africa ca. 2000 years B.P., were predominantly pastoralists. Yet, many aspects their subsistence economy such as procurement, management, and use wild plant resources remain largely unknown. To explore this, we studied 600–1100‐year‐old archaeological site Belmaco Cave, which comprises a stratified sedimentary deposit representative fumier . Here, present high‐resolution, multiproxy...

El territorio de la alta montaña Tenerife, áspero y difícil habitar, no solo por sus condiciones geológicas, sino también las climáticas, fue objeto una dilatada ocupación guanche, que se inició al menos desde el siglo V d.E. Los estudios realizados en los últimos años permiten plantear nuevas propuestas modelo único territorial tipo pastoralista defendido Luis Diego Cuscoy, valorar otras posibles causas para explicar presencia guanches Cañadas del Teide, así como sentar bases analizar...
Abstract High-altitude island environments, with their characteristic strong seasonal contrast and limited resources, are challenging contexts for human subsistence. However, although archaeological in this kind of setting hold great potential to explore the diversity biological cultural adaptations, such sites rare. In paper, we present results a microcontextual geoarchaeological study carried out at Roques de García Rockshelter, highest altitude cave site Canary Islands (Spain). The was...
Skeletal remains of an adult (estimated age at death ≈ 27-30 years) Prehispanic male with fusion in the sacroiliac joints showed a heterotopic ossification consisting flat, 10 × 5 cm bone formation covering posterior aspect right joint. The bones were recovered from burial cave containing 4 individuals, located on side ravine, Buenavista del Norte (NW corner Tenerife, Canary Islands), 450 m altitude. This individual was probably affected by ankylosing spondylitis (AS) that led to bony pelvic...
Abstract The introduction of the rotary quern into Iberian Peninsula during Iron Age represents a great technological innovation with regard to processing cereals. These mechanisms arrived several centuries later in Canarian archipelago first North African colonists. Contacts continent appear have either been cut off or minimised short time later, obliging colonists subsist autonomously and adapt features new territory. Moreover, archipelago's volcanic character does not offer minerals that...
Studies on the mobility of past populations are useful in interpretation trade and lifestyle. Preservation ancient paths is uncommon. In Tenerife, a volcanic island Canary Archipelago, still preserved, due to dry climatic conditions presence extensive lava fields inhospitable areas Island. The Guanches who inhabited this before Spanish conquest, those surviving highlands after modern goatherders, utilised identifiable net access central mountains. Clasts beds these have suffered variable...

We describe diffuse microporotic lesions observed in most of the scattered skeletal remains belonging to a ≈ 6 months-old female (genetic sexing) prehispanic (antiquity 600 years BP) individual recovered from small recess basaltic burial cave highlands (2300 m above sea level) Tenerife. Although sphenoid wings were lacking, present several bones, especially hard palate, basilar part occipital bone, outer aspect maxilla, and proximal half right humerus, accompanied by subtle periosteal...
