A Neanderthal's specialised burning structure compatible with tar obtention
Ochando, Juan; Jiménez-Espejo, Francisco J.; Giles-Guzmán, Francisco; Neto de Carvalho, Carlos; Carrión, Jose S.; Muñiz, Fernando; Rubiales, Juan ManuelHere we present multiproxy evidence of a new type of Neanderthal hearth discovered in Vanguard Cave (VC) (Gibraltar), which is dated ~ 65 kyr, and associated with Middle Paleolithic stone artefacts. The hearth structure coincides with predictions from theoretical studies which require the use of heating structures for obtaining birch tar, commonly used in hafting. We propose that the structure was used for heat...
First tracks of newborn straight-tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon antiquus)
Neto de Carvalho, Carlos; Belaústegui, Zain; Toscano, Antonio; Muñiz, Fernando; Belo, João; Galán, Jose María; Gómez, Paula; Cáceres, Luis MTracks and trackways of newborns, calves and juveniles attributed to straight-tusked elephants were found in the MIS 5 site (Upper Pleistocene) known as the Matalascañas Trampled Surface (MTS) at Huelva, SW Spain. Evidence of a snapshot of social behaviour, especially parental care, can be determined from the concentration of elephant tracks and trackways, and especially from apparently contemporaneous convergi...
Eventos marinos de alta energía y cambios traumáticos en los asentamientos cost...
Gómez, Francisco; Arruda, Ana Margarida; Rodríguez-Vidal, Joaquín; Cáceres, Luis Miguel; Ruiz, FranciscoLa explicación de la Protohistoria del suroeste peninsular está experimentando cambios sustanciales, al haber incorporado en su investigación técnicas multidisciplinares que la alejan de la tradicional interpretación de los textos antiguos. Actualmente, se matiza la importancia de los colonos orientales y también se intenta conocer la aportación de la sociedad occidental al proceso, a partir de mediados del I M...
Benchmarks and sediment source(s) of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami deposit at Boca do...
Font, Eric; Pires, Cristina Veiga; Pozo, Manuel; Nave, Silvia; Costas, Susana; Ruiz Muñoz, Francisco; Abad, Manuel; Simões, Nuno; Duarte, SílviaStandardizing the signature of tsunami deposits has been identified as a major limitation for the identification of paleo-tsunami deposits. This limitation mostly arises from the strongly source-dependent nature of these deposits, which in turn determines their composition and depositional architecture, and from the effect of the local morphology of the corresponding depositional environment. Here, we provide n...
Earliest known use of marine resources by Neanderthals
Cortés-Sanchez, Miguel; Morales-Muñiz, Arturo; Simón-Vallejo, María D.; Lozano-Francisco, María C.; Vera-Peláez, José L.; Finlayson, CliveNumerous studies along the northern Mediterranean borderland have documented the use of shellfish by Neanderthals but none of these finds are prior to Marine Isotopic Stage 3 (MIS 3). In this paper we present evidence that gathering and consumption of mollusks can now be traced back to the lowest level of the archaeological sequence at Bajondillo Cave (Malaga, Spain), dated during the MIS 6. The paper describes...
