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 hypothesis that Neanderthals exploited birds for the use of their feathers or claws as personal ornaments in symbolic behaviour is revolutionary it assigns unprecedented cognitive abilities to these hominins. This inference, however, based on modest faunal samples and thus may not represent a regular systematic behaviour. Here we address this issue by looking evidence such across large temporal geographical framework. Our analyses try answer four main questions: 1) does Neanderthal...
Numerous studies along the northern Mediterranean borderland have documented use of shellfish by Neanderthals but none these finds are prior to Marine Isotopic Stage 3 (MIS 3). In this paper we present evidence that gathering and consumption mollusks can now be traced back lowest level archaeological sequence at Bajondillo Cave (Málaga, Spain), dated during MIS 6. The describes taxonomical taphonomical features mollusk assemblages from Bj(19) briefly touches upon those retrieved in levels...
Feral Pigeons have colonised all corners of the Earth, having developed a close association with humans and their activities. The wild ancestor Pigeon, Rock Dove, is species rocky habitats, nesting typically on cliff ledges at entrance to large caves. This habit would brought them into contact cave-dwelling humans, relationship usually linked development dwellings in Neolithic. We show that between Doves an ancient one its roots Palaeolithic predates arrival modern Europe. At Gorham's Cave,...
Aim This paper evaluates the role of southern Iberia as a glacial refugium for Neanderthal populations during late Pleistocene. Location Southern Iberia. Methods A new methodology employing biogeographical principles was developed to determine nature and extent refugial environments in Two climate maps drawing on present-day temperature rainfall measurements from 338 weather stations across study area were constructed. The then subjected incremental falls rainfall, redrawn accordingly within...

This study successfully isolates a fraction of intra-crystalline proteins from shells the marine gastropod Patella vulgata and assesses suitability these for IcPD (Intra-crystalline Protein Diagenesis) geochronology. We discuss mineralogical composition this gastropod, investigated first time by X-ray diffraction mapping, use results to inform our sampling strategy. The potential calcitic rim bulk sample (containing both apex rim) shell act as stable repositories during diagenesis is...
Abstract Homo species were exposed to a new biogeochemical environment when they began occupy caves. Here we report the first evidence of palaeopollution through geochemical analyses heavy metals in four renowned archaeological caves Iberian Peninsula spanning last million years human evolution. Heavy metal contents reached high values due natural (guano deposition) and anthropogenic factors (e.g. combustion) restricted cave environments. The earliest pollution is related Neanderthal hearths...
