We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the
largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect of the Iberian Peninsula.We document high genetic substructure between northwestern and southeastern hunter-gatherers before the spread of farming.We reveal sporadic contacts be...
RESUMEN Mediante la presentación de varios sitios castreños, algunos de ellos inéditos, existentes tanto en el ámbito montañoso (Cordillera Cantábrica y Macizo Galaico-Leonés), como en el de la Cuenca Sedimentaria (Submeseta Norte), de la provincia de León, se realiza un intento de aproximación a la variada morfología que presentan este tipo de yac...
The paper aims on a type of hillforts characterized by its irregular shapes, very adapted to the conditions imposed by the geomorphological framework of its implantation, equipped with numerous works of dry stone fortification, described for the first time in lands of the Northwest of the Zamora province, but that, in the last years, it has been po...
[ES]: En las últimas dos décadas, la Arqueología militar romana ha experimentado un notable avance en la península ibérica. El uso sistemático de nuevas técnicas de teledetección constituye el último estadio de un proceso de renovación metodológica que ha permitido documentar un numeroso conjunto de yacimientos arqueológicos inéditos, o bien relaci...
The author points out the difficulties of conservation of three hillforts located in the vicinity of the town of Cobrana (Congosto, León) because of the electric lines and the reforestations.
Tomando como ejemplo los 3 castros que se encuentran en las proximidades de la localidad de Cobrana (Congosto, León) el autor señala las dificultades de cons...
The paper established and updates the setting of the medieval walled town of Rueda del Almirante, which reached 2.8 hectares, instead of 0.8 and 1.7 Ha that had been proposed before. The city walled enclosure stretches along 805 m, including the castle walls. It remains visible for more than 60% (509 m). The eastern wall was outside of the village,...
The paper present new hillforts that have been incorporated into the archaeological mapping of the province of Leon in recent years thanks to the use of different geographic information available in state and regional geoportals, especially on the field of Castile and Leon. Special emphasis is given to the low cost that has had this remarkable enri...
Recent excavations at the Roman camp of Legio VII Gemina at León have uncovered evidence of the implementation and dimensions of principia, a major building at any Roman camp. The new excavations registered its eastern and southern boundaries which together with the known north and west, completing a proposed reconstruction of the building.
Recent archaeological research has uncovered striking evidence regarding the number of castros
(‘hillforts’) within both bordering regions, which allows to double the number of known
hillforts, and also to know more about a particular type of hillfort, closely associated with the
geomorphological characteristics of the Cabrera and Teleno Sierras, n...
Taking the archaeological site of Arrabalde as a reference the author reviews the settings and
features of various hillforts in the Sierra de la Culebra because they have clear concomitance
with several discovered in recent years in Teleno and Cabrera Sierras (León). All of these sites
seems to be part of a unique kind for the most part poorly know...
Recent archaeological research have uncovered evidence on the archaeological setting
of some hilly sites, most of them of Iron Age times because archaeological finds associated.
They have always steep slopes, sometimes placed in isolated summits away from watercourses
or arable land. The most striking evidence is their walls, linear dry stone struc...
Ancient genomic sequences have started to reveal the origin and the demographic impact of farmers from the Neolithic period spreading into Europe. The adoption of farming, stock breeding and sedentary societies during the Neolithic may have resulted in adaptive changes in genes associated with immunity and diet. However, the limited data available...
The genetic background of the European Mesolithic and the extent of population replacement during the Neolithic is poorly understood, both due to the scarcity of human remains from that period and the inherent methodological difficulties of ancient DNA research. However, advances in sequencing technologies are both increasing data yields and provid...
This paper report the existence of a decorative plastering in the Romano-Medieval Wall of León, as well as in the wall that surrounds the old castellum.

In 1846, a year before the pioneering opening of the similar iron works of Mieres and Trubia, in Asturias, the first stone was laid of what was to be one of the first modern iron and steel works in Spain, the Fábrica de San Blas, in Sabero, in the province of León.
The paper submit two new castros located in both slopes of Monts Aquilianos, in El Bierzo and Cabrera areas (León). By its proximity with the network of canals that took water to the Roma Great Mine of Las Médulas sets out its relation with the activities of building and maintenance of that, aspect this last one that, however, will have to be confi...
