This article provides a synthesis of the Middle Pleistocene hominin record of West Iberia, which comprises sites displaying abundant concentrations of large flake Acheulean (LFA) assemblages, as well as isolated examples of Early Middle Palaeolithic (EMP) technology. These sites typically have age ranges spanning marine isotopic stages (MIS) 11-6, within the second half of the Middle Pleistocene, and are primar...
The most significant results of the Miño-Minho project after four years of fieldwork (2016-2019) are presented. The main sites - Pedreiras 2 and Bela, Monção, and Carvalhas (loci 1, 2, 3 and 4), Melgaço -, associated with fluvial deposits of the Minho River or with formations derived from them, provided lithic assemblages that can be connected with the Acheulean techno-complex. Taking into account data obtained...
The recent increase of archaeological survey has allowed a better definition of the Acheulean techno-complex in the Iberian Peninsula, and its integration in the African and Eurasian context. This paper aims to extend the discussion around the technological features of the peninsular lithic industries of the second half of the Middle Pleistocene, through the presentation of the data from Pedreiras 2 (Monção, Al...
