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 ...
Equine diet during protohistoric times in the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula: Stable isotope data (C, N) from bone collagen
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
[Abstract] The analysis of stable isotopes in bone collagen allows us to infer the diet of the animals studied. This dataset consists of isotopic signatures (δ13C and δ15N) obtained by isotope ratio mass spectrometry from ...
Insight into the introduction of domestic cattle and the process of Neolithization to the Spanish region Galicia by genetic evidence
(PLOS, 2021-04-28)
[Abstract] Domestic cattle were brought to Spain by early settlers and agricultural societies. Due to missing Neolithic sites in the Spanish region of Galicia, very little is known about this process in this region. We ...
Morphological, Isotopic and Proteomic Study of the Pleistocene and Holocene Fauna of Cova Dos Santos (Abadín, Lugo, NW Spain)
(Sociedad Española de Paleontología, 2021-12-03)
[Abstract] Cova dos Santos is a karstic cavity in Abadín (Lugo), in a hitherto unexplored area that may have been the natural route between the well-known Quaternary faunas of the Cantabrian Mountain Range and those located ...
To the Field of Stars: Stable Isotope Analysis of Medieval Pilgrims and Populations Along the Camino de Santiago in Navarre and Aragon, Spain
(Elsevier, 2023-02-01)
[Abstract] The Camino de Santiago emerged in the first half of the 9th century CE following the reported discovery of the remains of the Apostle St James by the bishop of Iria-Flavia, Teodomiro. Since then, hundreds of ...
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 ...
The Cave Bear’s Hibernation: Reconstructing the Physiology and Behaviour of an Extinct Animal
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-05-02)
[Abstract] When studying an extinct species such as the cave bear (Ursus spelaeus ROSENMÜLLER 1794), it is possible to apply a variety of molecular biology techniques such as the study of stable isotopes or mitochondrial ...
A western route of prehistoric human migration from Africa into the Iberian Peninsula
(The Royal Society, 2019-01-23)
[Abstract] 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 populations, reported the presence of DNA of likely African ...
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 ...
Paleogenomic evidence for multi-generational mixing between Neolithic farmers and Mesolithic hunter-gatherers in the lower Danube basin
(Cell, 2017-05-25)
[Abstract] The transition from hunting and gathering to farming involved profound cultural and technological changes. In Western and Central Europe, these changes occurred rapidly and synchronously after the arrival of ...
