Cambios en los modelos económico y de ocupación del Abrigo de la Quebrada (Chelva, Valencia). Nuevos datos arqueozoológicos y tafonómicos del nivel VII (MIS 5)
| Resumo: | Abrigo de la Quebrada (Chelva, Valencia) is a site of Neanderthal occupation, which has contributed a sequence spanning from MIS 4-5, in the upper levels, to MIS 5, in the lower levels. Level IV shows short and repeated occupations, with a high density of finds related to hunting, and is representative of the upper part of the sequence. The lower levels are distinct, in terms of both sedimentation rate and mode of occupation. In this work, we present the results of the archaeozoological and taphonomic studies carried out for level VII. Neanderthals accumulated most of the ungulate remains, while the leporids, the birds and a few of the ungulate remains are non-anthropogenic. Human hunting focused on Equidae, Cervidae and Caprinae. Combined with the characteristics of the stone tool assemblage and spatial distribution patterns, these faunal results for level VII suggest human occupations that were more marginal, more sporadic and also likely to have involved smaller group sizes than those in level IV. |
