A western route of prehistoric human migration from Africa into the Iberian Pen...
Gonzalez-Fortes, Gloria; Tassi, F.; Trucchi, E.; Henneberger, K.; Paijmans, J. L. A.; Diez Del Molino, D.; Schroeder, H.; Barroso-Ruiz, C.; Bermudez, F.Being at the Western fringe of Europe, Iberia had a peculiar prehistory and a complex pattern of Neolithization. A few studies, all based on modern popu- lations, reported the presence of DNA of likely African origin in this region, generally concluding it was the result of recent gene flow, probably during the Islamic period. Here, we provide evidence of much older gene flow from Africa to Iberia by sequencing...
Palaeoenvironments of the last Neanderthals in SW Europe (MIS 3): Cova del Coll...
Daura, Joan; Sanz, Montserrat; Allué, E.; Vaquero, M.; López-García, J.M.; Sánchez-Marco, A.; Domènech, R.; Martinell, J.; Carrión, J.S.; Ortiz, J.E.Marine isotope stage 3 (MIS 3) was characterised by marked oscillations of extreme cold episodes with very short warm events during the stadial, and several regional differences have been recorded in the ice cores and marine deposits. The aim of this study is to reconstruct this period by evaluating both terrestrial and regional responses. Cova del Coll Verdaguer, a site located on the Iberian Peninsula, preser...
Cova del Rinoceront (Castelldefels, Barcelona): a terrestrial record for the La...
Daura, Joan; Sanz, Montserrat; Julià, R.; García-Fernández, D.; Fornós, J.J.; Vaquero, M.; Allué, E.; López-García, J.M.; Blain, H.A.; Ortiz, J.E.The Cova del Rinoceront, a site in NE Iberia, contains a thick sedimentary fill preserving a faunal archive from the penultimate glacial and the the last interglacial periods. Layers I to III have been dated to between 74 and 147 ka, coinciding with MIS 5a to 5e, a period poorly represented in the Mediterranean terrestrial record. The results from Cova del Rinoceront are of broader interest for the reconstructi...
Terrasses de la Riera dels Canyars (Gavà, Barcelona): the landscape of Heinrich...
Daura, Joan; Sanz, Montserrat; García, N.; Allué, E.; Vaquero, M.; Fierro, E.; Carrión, J.S.; López-García, J.M.; Blain, H.A.; Sánchez-Marco, A.Terrasses de la Riera dels Canyars is an Upper Pleistocene fluvial deposit containing the remains of large mammals, principally accumulated in the framework of hyena denning in the area, as well as a few artifacts. Radiocarbon-dated tow39.6 ka cal BP, the time of Heinrich Stadial (HS) 4, this site enables us to reconstruct the environmental conditions then prevalent in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula. The conce...
