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 ...
Aeolization on the Atlantic Coast of Galicia (NW Spain) From the End of the Last Glacial Period to the Present Day: Chronology, Origin and Evolution of Coastal Dunes Linked to Sea-Level Oscillations
(Wiley, 2022-10-05)
[Abstract] The Atlantic coast of Galicia (NW Spain) is a high-energy environment where shingle beaches are currently developing. These coarser sediments alternate with sandy deposits which are also considered as beaches ...
Isotopic Signature in Isolated South-Western Populations of European Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos)
(Springer Link, 2022-10-21)
[Abstract] Stable isotope analysis of animal tissue samples is increasingly used to study the trophic ecology of target species. The isotopic signatures respond to the type of diet, but also to the environmental conditions ...
Multi-Isotopic Study of the Earliest Mediaeval Inhabitants of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain)
(Springer Link, 2022-10-12)
[Abstract] Santiago de Compostela is, together with Rome and Jerusalem, one of the three main pilgrimage and religious centres for Catholicism. The belief that the remains of St James the Great, one of the twelve apostles ...
Sorting the Riddle of the Neanderthal to Anatomically Modern Human Boundary in Sopeña (Asturias, Spain): New Dates and a Preliminar Bayesian Analysis
(Elsevier, 2022-09-02)
[Abstract] Sopeña is a limestone shelter in the northern slopes of the Cantabrian range of mountains of northern Spain. A long sequence of in situ nearly undisturbed archaeological strata has been documented there, including ...
Post-glacial Colonization of Western Europe Brown Bears From a Cryptic Atlantic Refugium Out of the Iberian Peninsula
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-10-04)
[Abstract] The European brown bear (Ursus arctos) shows a particular phylogeography that has been used to illustrate the model for contraction-expansion dynamics related to glacial refugia in Southern European peninsulas. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
