Un enterramiento Meso-Neolítico en el Cingle del Mas Nou (Ares del Maestre, Castellón) del 7000 BP en territorio de arte levantino
... In contrast, Cingle del Mas Nou is a Mesolithic open-air site that contained a pit burial with 9 individuals, including 3 adults (a 40-45 year old male, a 35-39 year old male, and an adult female) and 7 children including a 15 year old male and children ranging from a 6 week old infant to an 8 year old child (Olària et al., 2005(Olària et al., , 2010Salazar García et al., 2014). The pit was only used for a short period of time, and it has been suggested that a first burial was followed by successive secondary interments and that the individuals were related to each other. ...
... These conclusions coincide with what is known for most Iberian Mesolithic sites, including the Muge cemeteries (Jackes and Lubell, 2012;Peyroteo Stjerna, 2016). An exception would be the Meso-Neolithic burial of Cingle del Mas Nou where both primary and secondary burials have been described (Gómez and Rodríguez, 2009;Olària, 2010Olària, , 2016Olària et al., 2005). ...
... Un poco más cercana en el tiempo, pero también mesolítica y también en el propio País Valenciano, está la sepultura del Cingle del Mas Nou (Ares del Mestrat, Castellón) (Olaria, Gusi, 2005). Se trata de una fosa oval en la que se hallaron los restos de siete individuos. ...

... Five levels corresponding to chronologies between the end of the Mesolithic and Early Neolithic were documented during an excavation undertaken between 1989 and 2002. A collective burial with 6 individuals, 2 adults and 4 subadults was discovered in the Mesolithic levels (Olària et al. 2005;Olària 2010). ...
The study of dental morphology has proven useful for reconstructing the biological profiles of ancient populations. In this work, we present the results obtained by analysing dental non-metric traits in many of the most important Mesolithic burial contexts from the Iberian Peninsula. Currently, a substantial debate is underway regarding the relationship between the different geographical areas of the Peninsula and their different chronological moments. This paper is based on a sample consisting of a minimum number of 437 previously unpublished individuals from 11 Mesolithic and Neolithic sites, whose data were compared with Italian Mesolithic and Neolithic samples and posterior Iberian groups. We analysed these data by chi-squared analysis and by calculating the mean measure of divergence biological distance measure. There were no significant differences among the different regional groups from the Iberian Mesolithic. Moreover, the Iberian Mesolithic samples differ significantly from the Italian samples. In addition, although certain Neolithic samples differ from the hunter-gatherer profile, it seems that they received important biological influence from Mesolithic groups from the Iberian Peninsula, which varies with geography, since the farmer groups from the Mediterranean area are the most distinct from the previous hunter-gatherers. Our results suggest a common biological origin for all the Iberian Mesolithic assemblages, which probably originated during the Last Glacial Maximum. In addition, this profile differs from the one observed in Italian coetaneous groups. Finally, similar to the latest aDNA studies, this study suggests that the Neolithization process of the Peninsula was heterogeneous.

En este trabajo presentamos los materiales recuperados en la excavación del abrigo de la Font d’Horta (Vilafranca, Castelló). Las características de estos materiales, entre las que destacan las armaduras geométricas (entre ellas un segmento de doble bisel) y la datación obtenida sobre hueso, nos remiten a los momentos de transición entre las últimas poblaciones cazadoras y recolectoras y la llegada de las primeras comunidades neolíticas. La valoración de los datos en el contexto de la zona del Maestrat/Maestrazgo y sus vínculos con el litoral mediterráneo y el valle del Ebro nos permiten discutir su posible vinculación con unas u otras poblaciones, concluyendo que nos encontramos ante una ocupación de las últimas poblaciones mesolíticas de este territorio.
The Palaeolithic-Mesolithic transition is not limited to the beginning of the Holocene.
The transformations that occurred in the Iberian Mediterranean region, between the
end of the Last Glacial Maximum and the beginning of the Holocene constitute a Long
Transition. This text evaluates the trajectory of technical systems, resource management and symbolism from the selection of some variables, within the context of the global bioclimatic change that characterizes the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. The main objective is to analyze the changes that occurred between 21 ka and 9.3 ka cal BP in the central-southern Iberian coastal area, approximately between the Ebro river and Gibraltar.
The starting hypothesis assumes that in this region the bioclimatic, techno-economic
and socio-cultural transformations that they usually use to define the Mesolithic began earlier and were not homogeneous, neither in time nor in their regional manifestation. However, this gradualism and continuity can also hide deeper transformation dynamics.

In this paper we present the results obtained in the analysis of the faunal remains recovered from balma del barranc de la Fontanella site (Vilafranca, Els Ports, Castelló) during the archaeological works conducted between 2011 and 2015. The data are preliminary since part of the sample is still under analysis. Here, we focus on different sized mammal species that may have been hunted and consumed by past human communities, belonging to Geometric Mesolithic and Notches and Denticulate Mesolithic cultures. Our results indicate great uniformity in terms of hunting strategies over time. On the other hand, a great taxonomic diversity is observed, which can be explained by the particular geographical characteristics of the site location.
