Your horse is a donkey! Identifying domesticated equids from Western Iberia usi...
Paladugu, Roshan; Korzov Richter, Kristine; Valente, Maria João; Gabriel, Sónia; Detry, Cleia; Warinner, Christina; Barrocas Dias, CristinaSkeletal remains of two equid species, Equus caballus (horse) and Equus asinus (donkey), have been found in archaeological contexts throughout Iberia since the Palaeolithic and Chalcolithic periods, respectively. These two species play different economic and cultural roles, and therefore it is important to be able to distinguish between the two species to better understand their relative importance in the past ...
Insights into agricultural practices at the Phoenician site of Castro Marim bet...
Paladugu, Roshan; Celant, Alessandra; Jha, Gopesh; Di Rita, Federico; de Sousa, Elisa; Arruda, Ana Margarida; Maurer, Anne-France; Magri, DonatellaCastro Marim is an Iron Age site from the Algarve region, Portugal. The earliest evidence of settlement, from the Late Bronze Age, dates to the 9th century BCE, with the Phoenician-Punic period dating from the 7th to the 3rd century BCE. This study focuses on the stable isotope analysis of plant and collagen of faunal remains to reconstruct cultivation and husbandry practices. Barley was the most abundantly cul...

Jha, Gopesh; Costa, Mafalda; Tsoupra, Anna; Barrocas Dias, Cristina; Kwiecien, Ola; Longman, Jack; Breitenbach, Sebastian F. M.; Ditchfield, PeterUnderstanding the nature and tempo of global environmental responses to the ∼74,000 BP (∼74 ka) Toba volcanic super-eruption is based primarily on historical analogies and climate models that lack ground-truthing in regions distal to eruptions. Here, we report the first proxy-based terrestrial record of the immediate environmental impact of the Younger Toba Tuff (YTT) eruption on the homininoccupied ecosystem i...

Antonosyan, Mariya; Mkrtchyan, Satenik; Amano, Noel; Davtyan, Ruben; Yeranyan, Nzhdeh; Badalyan, Mikayel; Poghosyan, Svetlana; Telunts, AnahitIdentifying animal species used in osseous industry production is crucial for reconstructing human-animal interactions in ancient societies. However, bone artefact manufacture often involves intensive modifications to raw materials that hamper taxonomic identifications. Here, for the first time in central Eurasia, we taxonomically assess bone objects stored in museum collections, recovered from Late Neolithic t...
