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 ... -
Comparative Study of Deterioration in Built Heritage in a Coastal Area: Barbanza Peninsula (Galicia, NW Spain)
(MDPI, 2023)[Abstract] The Barbanza Peninsula (Galicia, NW Spain) is located on the west coast of Galicia. It is a narrow tongue of terrain with an area of 416 km2 and a high altitudinal gradient, with the top having a maximum height ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Estimating the Radioactive Heat Production of a Granitic Rock in the University of A Coruña (Galicia, Northwest Spain) by Gamma-ray Spectrometry
(MDPI, 2022-11-23)[Abstract] Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy with a long tradition in European countries, although it is scarcely used in Spain. One of the reasons for this is the poorly studied geothermal potential of the ... -
Geological Materials as Cultural Markers of Water Resources
(MDPI, 2020-12-01)[Abstract] Water has always been a critical resource for humans and climate change could aggravate supply problems. In this context, groundwater could be an important reservoir of water, especially given the dispersion of ... -
