The Iberian Peninsula is a key region for unraveling human settlement histories of Eurasia during the period spanning the decline of Neandertals and the emergence of anatomically modern humans (AMH). There is no evidence of human occupation in central Iberia after the disappearance of Neandertals ~42,000 years ago until approximately 26,000 years a...

En este trabajo, presentamos las actividades llevadas a cabo durante las campañas de intervención arqueopaleontológica en la cueva de Abauntz, Arraitz-Orkin, Valle de la Ultzama, en los años 2022 y 2023. El objetivo principal del proyecto es caracterizar el tipo e intensidad de la ocupación del nivel h, adscrito al Paleolítico medio, así como los p...

The subunit TD10.2 is located at the Gran Dolina site, in Atapuerca, and is dated to approximately 400,000 years ago. This subunit has revealed the earliest evidence of monospecific bison mass-communal hunting, providing significant insights into the cognitive and social capabilities of pre-Neanderthal populations. Our research focuses on the analy...

This paper presents the zooarchaeological, technological, use-wear, and spatial analyses of the earliest sedimentary subunits of TD10 (TD10.3 and TD10.4) of the Gran Dolina site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain), dated to c. 400 ka. Both units have yielded Acheulean technology, with occupational models characterized by the superimposition of mul...

Between 450-350 ka, a significant threshold in human evolution witnessed the emergence of new subsistence strategies in Western Europe, accompanied by a series of technical and technological innovations. These changes, closely linked to the transition from the Lower to the Early Middle Palaeolithic, laid the roots of the so-called Neanderthal way o...

Understanding the temporal resolution of archaeological deposits is a critical issue for drawing behav-ioural inferences. In the case of TD10.2 (Gran Dolina, Sierra de Atapuerca), this factor becomes essential in defining the mass communal bison hunting level and the different butchering events that took place at the sub-unit, which is characterise...

In 2014, an anthropic accumulation of chert material was discovered in La Guinardera area, at the southwest of the Sant Martí de Tous town (Barcelona, NE Iberian Peninsula). In 2018 a first archaeological intervention was carried out in two locations: La Guinardera and La Guinardera Nord. After the fieldworks, these two accumulations were interpret...

In the mid of the past century a series of high-altitude chert workshops were found in the Prades Mountains (Montblanc, Catalonia). These workshops were ascribed to the Neolithic, but to date just one of them -Cantacorbs- become part of a wider archaeological project. This open-air site is located in the top of a calcareous high plateau (1022 masl)...

This work presents the techno-morphological and taphonomic study of the cores from the open-air site San Genaro 3 – 4, located on the southern coast of San Sebastián Bay (Tierra de Fuego, Argentina). This research is part of a regional project aimed at the study of late Holocene coastal occupations of hunter-gatherers in northern Grande Island of T...

We present partial results obtained in an interdisciplinary research project focused on the human settlement of the Guadalajara province (Spain) during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. The excavation of the Peña Capón, Peña Cabra and Los Casares sites have shown outstanding evidence for investigating population dynamics and human-environment inte...

El presente estudio pretende indagar en los principales factores que influyen en la ubicación de los monumentos megalíticos de los valles pirenaicos de Salazar y Roncal. Desde el marco teórico de la Arqueología Espacial y del Paisaje y a través del diseño y aplicación de los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) como herramienta metodológica, se...
