An Overview of the Use of Absolute Dating Techniques in Ancient Construction Materials
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2016)[Abstract] The reconstruction of the chronology of historical buildings is a tricky issue, as usually there are not historical documents that allow the assessment of construction phases, and some materials are hardly ... -
Assessment by portable gamma spectrometry of external gamma radiation hazard due to granitic materials and indoor space typology
(Multidisciplinary Dixital Publishing Institute, 2017-12-14)[Abstract] Building materials can contribute to ionizing radiation hazards due to their variable content in radioactive isotopes. Uranium, thorium, and potassium radioisotopes are present in various building materials due ... -
Bacteria, guano and soot: source assessment of organic matter preserved in black laminae in stalagmites from caves of the Sierra de Atapuerca (N Spain)
(Union Internationale de Spéléologie, 2021-04-14)[Abstract] Speleothems are a recognized source of paleoclimatic information, but their value as a source of signals from human activities in caves with an archaeological record has rarely been explored. Previous studies ... -
Biomechanical simulations reveal a trade-off between adaptation to glacial climate and dietary niche versatility in European cave bears
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-04-01)[Abstract] The cave bear is one of the best known extinct large mammals that inhabited Europe during the “Ice Age,” becoming extinct ≈24,000 years ago along with other members of the Pleistocene megafauna. Long-standing ... -
Characterising the Cave Bear Ursus Spelaeus Rosenmüller by Zooms: A Review of Peptide Mass Fingerprinting Markers
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-02-27)[Abstract] In the last decade, the identification of bone fragments by peptide mass fingerprinting or zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry is developing as a powerful tool in Quaternary palaeontology. The sequence of amino ... -
Chronology of Coastal Alluvial Deposits in The Ria de Coruña (NW Spain) Linked to the Upper Pleistocene Sea Level Regression
(MDPI, 2022-10-04)[Abstract] The Ria de Coruña (NW Spain) is a wide estuary recently formed by the flooding of the Mero fluvial valley lowlands during the last postglacial transgression. During the last glacial episode, with the sea level ... -
Chronology of Four Climbing Dune Outcrops on the Atlantic Coast of Galicia (NW Spain) Linked to the Sea Level Fall during the MIS6 and MIS4 Isotopic Stages
(MDPI, 2022-02-23)[Abstract] Numerous sandy deposits, interpreted as the remains of old climbing dunes, are preserved on the cliffy coast of Galicia (northwest Spain). These deposits can be found both in open coastal areas and in the interior ... -
Colloidal and thermal behaviors of some venezuelan kaolin pastes for therapeutic applications
(MDPI, 2019-12-04)[Abstract] This work contributes to the knowledge of colloidal and thermal properties of some important primary-originated kaolin deposits from Bolivar State, Venezuela, and their possible use as semisolid formulations in ... -
Covering layers on granite buildings of northwestern Iberian Peninsula: when observable characteristics and lab characterization do not match
(MDPI, 2020-02-04)[Abstract] Illustrated glossaries on stone pathologies help to describe deterioration forms in built heritage without resorting to any laboratory analyses. In this way, terms such as crust, deposit, and soiling which ... -
De Mari a Babilonia: ciudades fortificadas en la antigua Mesopotamia
(Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, 2022)[Resumen] Las ciudades mesopotámicas estaban amuralladas desde sus orígenes. Muralla y ciudad, símbolo de civilización, eran dos conceptos inseparables. Por mandato de los dioses, el rey era el responsable de la fundación ... -
Dogs and Foxes in Early-Middle Bronze Age Funerary Structures in the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula: Human Control of Canid Diet at the Sites of Can Roqueta (Barcelona) and Minferri (Lleida)
(Springer, 2019-01-14)[Abstract] Findings of canid remains in graves at different sites in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula are evidence of a widespread funerary practice that proliferated between the end of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium ... -
Dogs that Ate Plants: Changes in the Canine Diet During the Late Bronze Age and the First Iron Age in the Northeast Iberian Peninsula
(Springer, 2021-03-25)[Abstract] We studied 36 dogs (Canis familiaris) from the Can Roqueta site in the Catalan pre-littoral depression (Barcelona), dated between the Late Bronze Age and the First Iron Age (1300 and 550 cal BC). We used a sample ... -
Eating in silence: isotopic approaches to nuns' diet at the convent of Santa Catalina de Siena (Belmonte, Spain) from the sixteenth to the twentieth century
(Springer Nature, 2019-08)[Abstract] Advances in geochemical and physical anthropological studies have provided new tools to reconstruct ancient lifestyles, especially of those minorities not commonly mentioned in historical texts. In comparison ... -
Effects of Water on Natural Stone in the Built Environment—A Review
(MDPI, 2021-11-07)[Abstract] The present work reviews studies with information on the effects of water by itself on stones of the built environment both to assess the impact of this substance and to discuss possible implications for ... -
Electronic Systems and Offsite Touristic Activities Based on Geological Concepts: A Speculative Discussion
