The Fortress of Vilars d’Arbeca (775–300 cal BC) is a reference site for the transition from the Early Iron Age to

Livestock penning practices often provide a regular and predictable supply of animal products, including dung, that can be subsequently used in multiple ways, such as fuel, manure and as temper in building materials. Their identification often requires laboratory-based analytical techniques. This poster highlights the value of micromorphology to th...
The micromorphological study of the Pre-bell beaker Chacolithic unit from El Portalón de Cueva Mayor site (Atapuerca, Burgos) is presented. The identification and characterization of organic clays, witn abundant ovicaprine excrement remains, spherulites, ashes, phytoliths and phosphates has confirmed its use as a pen. The analysis of different thin...
