New interpretation of the Gran Dolina-TD6 bearing Homo antecessor deposits through sedimentological analysis

Scientific Reports (2016)

Isidoro Campaña Alfredo Pérez‐González Alfonso Benito‐Calvo Jordi Rosell Ruth Blasco

Gran Dolina is a cavity infilled by at least 25 m of Pleistocene sediments. This sequence contains the TD6 stratigraphic unit, whose records include around 170 hominin bones that have allowed the definition of a new species, Homo antecessor. This fossil accumulation was studied as a single assemblage and interpreted as a succession of several human home bases. We propose a complete stratigraphic context and sedimentological interpretation for TD6, analyzing the relationships between the sedimentary facies, the clasts and archaeo-palaeontological remains. The TD6 unit has been divided into three sub-units and 13 layers. Nine sedimentary facies have been defined. Hominin remains appear related to three different sedimentary facies: debris flow facies, channel facies and floodplain facies. They show three kinds of distribution: first a group of scattered fossils, then a group with layers of fossils in fluvial facies, and third a group with a layer of fossils in mixed fluvial and gravity flow facies. The results of this work suggest that some of these hominin remains accumulated in the cave by geological processes, coming from the adjacent slope above the cave or the cave entry, as the palaeogeography and sedimentary characteristics of these allochthonous facies suggest.

La malacofauna marina de las fases holocenas en la Cueva del Toll (Moià, Barcelona): nuevas aportacionespara el Neolítico nororiental

Archaeofauna (2014)

Ana Belén García Barbo Antonio Jesús Rodríguez Hidalgo Juan Ignacio Morales Jordi Martinell Artur Cebrià

La entrada a la Galería Sur de la Cueva del Toll (Moià, Barcelona) fue descubierta en los años 40 del pasado siglo. Desde entonces, las distintas intervenciones realizadas han puesto de manifiesto la importancia del yacimiento arqueo-paleontológico tanto a nivel regional como peninsular. Centrándonos en los niveles holocenos de la cavidad, las investigaciones realizadas indican un uso prolongado de la misma, al menos desde el Neolítico Antiguo, hasta finales del Bronce inicial. Entre la variada cantidad de materiales recuperados destacan por el interés del presente estudio, varios restos de malacofauna marina. En el marco del actual proyecto de investigación, han sido recuperados nuevos ejemplares pertenecientes a las especies Columbella rustica y Nassarius cuvieri. El análisis tecnológico, traceológico y químico de las mismas sugiere que fueron modificadas antrópicamente mediante la realización de perforaciones para su uso, siendo tintadas con pigmentos rojizos. La posición estratigráfica y espacial de los ejemplares nos lleva a interpretar las mismas como parte de un único abalorio, depositado en el fondo de una estructura neolítica.

Assessment of statistical agreement of three techniques for the study of cut marks: 3D digital microscope, laser scanning confocal microscopy and micro‐photogrammetry

Journal of Microscopy (2017)

Miguel Ángel Maté‐González Julia Aramendi José Yravedra Ruth Blasco Jordi Rosell

Summary In the last few years, the study of cut marks on bone surfaces has become fundamental for the interpretation of prehistoric butchery practices. Due to the difficulties in the correct identification of cut marks, many criteria for their description and classification have been suggested. Different techniques, such as three‐dimensional digital microscope (3D DM), laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and micro‐photogrammetry (M‐PG) have been recently applied to the study of cut marks. Although the 3D DM and LSCM microscopic techniques are the most commonly used for the 3D identification of cut marks, M‐PG has also proved to be very efficient and a low‐cost method. M‐PG is a noninvasive technique that allows the study of the cortical surface without any previous preparation of the samples, and that generates high‐resolution models. Despite the current application of microscopic and micro‐photogrammetric techniques to taphonomy, their reliability has never been tested. In this paper, we compare 3D DM, LSCM and M‐PG in order to assess their resolution and results. In this study, we analyse 26 experimental cut marks generated with a metal knife. The quantitative and qualitative information registered is analysed by means of standard multivariate statistics and geometric morphometrics to assess the similarities and differences obtained with the different methodologies.

Picaduras y mordeduras de animales

Under the heading of this subject we deal with stings by arthropods, making reference to the differences that exist between the stings of wasps and bees, commenting on the composition of the poisons and the different local and general reactions that are caused by such stings.Also discussed are the stings/bites caused by scorpions, spiders, ticks, and marine animals, with the clinical picture they provoke and the treatment that must be administered.Finally, snakebites are considered, with reference to the most frequent types of ophidia to be found in Navarra, how to differentiate between the bites of snakes and vipers, the different clinical pictures they provoke and the treatment to be applied
