New data about the epigravettian sequence of La Bouverie in South-East France
In the Iberian Mediterranean region it is difficult to find studies dedicated to the percutors-touchers used in the lithic production of the Epipalaeolithic. This work presents the study of 11 small pebbles located in caves of Santa Maira (Castell de Castells, Alicante), which were recovered in the Epipaleolithic levels, dated between 13445 and 101...
For the first time we compare lithic production systems from the three archaeological phases identified in the Iberian Mediterranean region between 14.5 and 10.5 ky cal BP: final Magdalenian, microlaminar Epipalaeolithic and sauveterroid Epipalaeolithic. These phases coincided with rapid palaeoenvironmental changes, whose effects on a peripheral re...
The present study aims at a better understanding of personal ornaments during the Late Paleolithic and Mesolithic transitions. The approach consists of a combination of the shell beads and pendants from Santa Maira (Alacant) and the information from the Mediterranean façade of the Iberian Peninsula, including the Ebro valley, allowing a systematic...
Se analiza el conjunto lítico procedente de la unidad CG.II del sector Corral del Gordo de coves de Santa Maira, compuesto por un número reducido de piezas, cuyas características son valoradas tanto en relación con los datos del sector Boca Oeste de SM como en el contexto de la dinámica evolutiva del Paleolítico superior de la región mediterránea i...
La Cueva de los Murciélagos se encuentra situada en Las Pedrizas de Vilamarxant. El yacimiento fue objeto de actividades mineras en la primera mitad del siglo XX, a partir de las cuales se recuperaron una serie de materiales arqueológicos por parte de los miembros de la Sección de Espeleología del Centro Excursionista de Valencia, actualmente depos...
Cueva de Nerja is a coastal site located in the south-east of the Iberian Peninsula (MaroNerja, Málaga, Spain). It is a large cave in which rich archaeological deposits are preserved in its external chambers: Vestibule, Mine and Torca chambers. The calibrated
14C datings of the three chambers place the stratigraphic sequence of Cueva de Nerja betwe...
The lithic assemblage studied here comes from Cova Rosa, one of the main Upper Palaeolithic sites in Asturias (northern Spain). The remains were found in Layer B5, which was excavated by F. Jordá Cerdá and A. Gómez Fuentes in 1978 and are associated with an osseous assemblage and archaeozoological remains. This occupation has been dated by radiocar...
Aurignacian and Gravettian sites in the Valencian region have been the subject of reevaluation and new fieldwork in recent years. Over and beyond the question of the timing of the start of the Upper Palaeolithic in central and southern Iberia, the features of the lithic techno-typology have been precisely defined. These reveal differences in region...
Ceñajo de la Peñeta es un yacimiento localizado en el interior de la región central del territorio valenciano. El estudio de los materiales recuperados aporta información sobre la frecuentación del sitio en diferentes momentos de la Prehistoria. En diferentes niveles asociados a la Fase I aparecen materiales mesolíticos y neolíticos mezclados. La F...
The debate about the dynamics of the human groups that lived in the last millennia of the last glaciation in southern Europe, goes in two directions. One is the emergence of a so-called badegoulian culture, which seems to have originated in south-west France, without being able to establish its geographical limits. On the other hand, the particular...
Los macroútiles han sido habitualmente marginados de los estu-dios, debido al peso que ha tenido la industria lítica tallada para la observación de los cambios y continuidades cronológicos y culturales. Sin embargo, estos elementos aparecen en yacimien-tos arqueológicos asociados a diferentes contextos geográficos y cronológicos, lo cual les confie...
Bipolar debitage has been documented in different chronocultural and geographical contexts. In this paper, we analyze the implications of this type of exploitation in a Middle Paleolithic context where it has rarely been recognized. The observation of the archaeological materials is combined with a geological characterization, which has made it pos...
In this work, we present a preliminary analysis of
the Solutrean antlerworking at Hort de Cortés–Volcán del Faro (Valencia, Spain) (ca. 26–21 ka cal BP). A restudy of its archaeological sequence, which came to encompass the Early Upper Palaeolithic to the Magdalenian period, has been a mandatory subject in the last years. This site became an archae...
El Abric de l'Hedra (Ontinyent, Valencia). Nuevos datos para el conocimiento de los grupos de cazadores recolectores del Paleolítico medio y superior en La Vall d'Albaida RESUMEN: El desarrollo de dos campañas de excavación realizadas en el 2021 en el Abric de l'Hedra (Ontinyent, Valencia) ha propiciado la recuperación de materiales, sobre todo lít...
The exhibition, PAST AND PRESENT. ONE HUNDRED YEARS DOING ARCHAEOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VALENCIA, is conceived as a cultural event for the enjoyment of society. The aim is to show a glimpse of the history of the Laboratory of Archaeology, the addressed research topics and the knowledge generated over a century of work by all the people who have...
The archaeological investigations carried out in the last twenty years in the Lower Valley of the River Güeña (Asturias, central part of northern Spain) have documented different prehistoric sites, particularly with Middle and Upper Palaeolithic occupations. This paper presents the results of the archaeological excavation carried out in the cave of...
The Mediterranean coast of Spain is marked by several clusters of Palaeolithic sites: to the south of the Pyrenees, in the area around the Ebro River, in the central part, and on the south coast, one of the southernmost regions in Europe. The number of sites is small compared with northern Iberia, but like that region, the Palaeolithic occupations...
The Southwestern Europe covers a wide territory with diverse ecosystems, from the Iberian Peninsula, through southern France to Italy. In each of these areas the different research tradition has focused on defining cultural characteristics at the regional level, that has resulted in varied nomenclatures (eg. Badegoulian-Magdalenian-Epigravettian; E...
L’estudi dels materials de l’Abric de l’Hedra, procedents de les arreplegades en superfície, va proporcionar elements suficients per tal d’ubicar el jaciment en un context crono-cultural que remetia al Paleolític superior. L’antiguitat de les ocupacions així com el bon estat de conservació del lloc van incentivar l’inici de dos campanyes d’excavaci...
This work describes the site of Cova de l’Hedra, located in Ontinyent (la Vall d’Albaida, Valence) and the chronology of the occupations based on the study of the archaeological remains recovered in the 1970s. The results allow a chronocultural ascription ranging from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age.
The study on a long and marrow shaped sedimentary rock discovered in the Upper Palaeolithic levels excavated in 1972 at the Valencian site of Hort de Cortés-Vol-
cán del Faro was carried out. This is an argillaceous limestone with a compact and soft appearance 19.43 cm long, 4.16 cm wide and 4.79 cm thick. The stratigraphic associated materials pla...
The presence of human groups during the Last Glacial Maximum has been witnessed along all Iberian regions [1]. Nevertheless, the paleoenvironmental and biogeography conditions show differences, with clear influence in the settlement dynamics, subsistence strategies and social behaviour of Palaeolithic people. Under this precept, our objective is to...
The Lateglacial to early Holocene transition includes climatic events of high and medium magnitude, which ended up defining the current Mediterranean landscapes. Santa Maira sequence covers this period and analyses of different materials have allowed for the reconstruction of the landscape and human strategies for raw materials exploitation. Wood c...
La situación actual derivada de la COVID-19 ha condicionado el desarrollo habitual de la docencia universitaria en general, afectando de forma más evidente a las actividades que requieren una mayor presencialidad y participación por parte del alumnado. En este trabajo presentamos diversas adaptaciones que se han aplicado a la asignatura de Prehisto...
Los yacimientos de Andalucía oriental constituyen la facies regional más meridional del Magdaleniense europeo. A los sitios
costeros, conocidos desde principios del siglo XX, se han añadido una serie de sitios localizados en el surco intrabético que
serán la base de discusión de este trabajo. Esta dispersión muestra una amplia distribución geográfi...
The sites of Eastern Andalusia constitute the southernmost regional facies of the European Magdalenian. In addition to the coastal sites, which have been known since the beginning of the 20th century, a number of sites located in the Intrabaetic Basin have been added, which will be the basis for discussion in this work. This dispersion shows a wide...
The interest of this paper lies in the analysis of variability detected within the group of splintered pieces, establishing distinctions within this broad category. A technological and traceological reading has been used for this purpose. These analyses have been applied to two geographically distant, chronologically disparate assemblages, which ma...
Archaeological research has been carried out in the Eastern Rif (Morocco) since 1995 by a collaborative Moroccan-German research team. A major topic of the project is the transition from hunting-gathering to food production and related cultural developments. Innovations such as pottery and domesticated species appeared around 7.6 ka calBP. The cult...
At the end of the Late Glacial period, the laminar-microlaminar techno-complexes of Mediterranean regions of the Iberian Peninsula exhibit a common Magdalenian substrate. At the same time, the regional data show some variability that is difficult to fit into a single evolutionary model. This paper seeks to analyse the main trends in the techno-econ...
Thirteen fieldworks campaigns were carried out in the multistratified Palaeolithic site
of Hort de Cortés-Volcán del Faro (HC-VF), the results of which were published in various papers and notes up to the definitive report of 2003. The first campaigns set its interest and parallels with the nearby sequence of Parpalló Cave (Gandia). However, the as...
Los resultados de las excavaciones realizadas entre 1968 y 1984 en la Cova de Hort de Cortés- Volcán del Faro quedaron limitados a identificar materiales solutrenses, magdalenienses y neolíticos-calcolíticos. Una lectura crítica de la Memoria de excavaciones, publicada en 2003,
permitió plantear la posibilidad de la presencia de ocupaciones anterio...
L'Abric de l'Hedra, situat en el marge de la serra de la Solana, al nord d'Ontinyent, és un gran abric rocós, amb bona potència sedimentària. Cap als anys 1970 es van localitzar en superfície, restes de talla de sílex que poden adscriure's al Paleolític superior. Fins el moment no ha estat objecte d'excavacions ni investigacions. En el present arti...
The excavation of the Volcán del Faro site (Cullera, Valencia) did not live up to the expectations created after the discovery of the perforated staff. The prospect of a new Palaeolithic sequence, close to that of Parpalló (Gandia, Valencia), brought with it the possibility of obtaining new palaeoenvironmental, chronostratigraphic and archaeologica...
L es recerques en el jaciment de les coves de Santa Maira (Castell de Castells) han permès documentar una àmplia seqüència cronostratigràfica, arqueològica i paleoambiental, amb ocupacions humanes des de l'últim Pleniglacial fins al Neolític (aproximadament entre fa 20.000 i 5.500 anys abans del present) i materials puntuals que arriben a temps his...

In the Mediterranean Iberian region, the subsistence model during the Upper Palaeolithic and the Mesolithic has common characteristics: specialized hunting based on one medium-sized speciments (red deer or ibex), with a complementary consumption of other ungulates, carnivores and small preys (leporids), and even marine resources. At least from the...
The period spanning the Last Glacial Maximum through early Holocene encompasses dramatic and rapid environmental changes that offered both increased risk and new opportunities to human populations of the Mediterranean zone. The regional effects of global climate change varied spatially with latitude, topography, and distance from a shifting coastli...
Tras la revisión de los materiales arqueológicos prehistóricos de la Cova del Barranc Fondo depositados en el Museu
de Prehistòria de València, se propone una secuencia de ocupaciones que arranca en el Magdaleniense final y finaliza
en la Edad del Bronce. Los resultados obtenidos han propiciado el inicio de un proyecto de excavaciones arqueológicas...
The paper examines the Upper Solutrean–Archaic Magdalenian/Badegoulian succession on the base of lithic and bone tool production, chrono-stratigraphic data and radiocarbon dates from the Cantabrian and Mediterranean regions of Iberia, mainly the areas of Asturias and Valencia (Spain). The discussion considers a reduced number of variables (characte...
Les actuacions dutes a terme en aquesta campanya de prospecció les podem resumir en: a) S'ha realitzat un assaig de "prospecció microespa-cial" al paratge conegut com les Puntes de Benifallim, i més concretament a la punta del Mas Blanch -Mas d'Is, situada entre el barranc dels Dubots i els barrancs de la Capella i dels Clots. estudi microespacial...
