Aplicación de tecnologías geoespaciales para la documentación del círculo lítico de Monte Lobeira, Vilanova de Arousa (Pontevedra)

In this work, we present a first approach to the stone circle of Monte Lobeira (in the NW of Spain). In this article we primarily focus on the methodologies that were applied in the documentation and register of the morphologic and constructive aspects of the site.En este trabajo pretendemos realizar una primera aproximación al círculo lítico de Monte Lobeira centrándonos fundamentalmente en las metodologías que se aplicaron en la documentación y registro de los aspectos morfológicos y constructivos del yacimiento

Aproximación a la distribución espacial de sitios arqueológicos de la Prehistoria Reciente en la Ría de Arousa (Pontevedra)

En el presente artículo se realiza un estudio territorial de la Prehistoria Reciente de la orilla sur de la Ría de Arousa. El análisis espacial desarrollado, mediante el empleo de Sistemas de Información Geográfica, tiene como objetivo el acercamiento a cuáles pudieron haber sido las decisiones locacionales de las comunidades de la Prehistoria Reciente del Noroeste Peninsular. Para ello se lleva a cabo un análisis locacional de los asentamientos en relación con su entorno y con otros yacimientos de la época, tales como túmulos o petroglifos. Además, se sistematiza el registro arqueológico de una comarca hasta ahora poco conocida en la historiografía arqueológica de Galicia

All together now (or not). Change, resistance and resilience in the NW Iberian Peninsula in the Bronze Age - Iron Age transition

The interpretation of the archaeological record of the Later Prehistory in the NW Iberian Peninsula in terms of social and political complexity has witnessed a significant leap in the recent years. As in many other parts of Western Europe, two particular topics have been at the centre of the discussion: the relevance of the notions of social resistance and resilience and the incorporation of a finer grained view about the different historical trajectories within the region. As is common in archaeological research, the incorporation and/or critical review of the empirical evidence quite often forces us to reconsider the existing ideas, and this case is no exception. In the recent years, the hypothesis that the transition between the Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age in this region can be interpreted in terms of a reaction against trends towards social division has gained a widespread popularity. At the same time, the archaeological record documented has increased exponentially, being contract archaeology a major responsible for that. This paper explores to what extent the results of these new forms of archaeological fieldwork are challenging our assumed knowledge. Our aim is to discuss and further refine the initial hypothesis, which will also help to get some insights into the subsequent trajectories of human communities in this region.Peer reviewe

All together now (or not). Change, resistance and resilience in the NW Iberian Peninsula in the Bronze Age-Iron Age transition

The interpretation of the archaeological record of the Later Prehistory in the North-west Iberian Peninsula in terms of social and political complexity has witnessed a significant leap in the recent years. As in many other parts of Western Europe, two particular topics have been at the centre of the discussion: The relevance of the notions of social resistance and resilience and the incorporation of a finer-grained view about the different historical trajectories within the region. As is common in archaeological research, the incorporation and/or critical review of the empirical evidence quite often force us to reconsider the existing ideas, and this case is no exception. In recent years, the hypothesis that the transition between the Late Bronze Age–Early Iron Age in this region can be interpreted in terms of a reaction against trends towards social division has gained widespread popularity.

El círculo Lítico de Monte Lobeira (Vilanova de Arousa, Pontevedra). Trabajos de 2008 y 2010

Elías López-Romero, Patricia Mañana-Borrazás (eds.).-- Cadernos de Arqueoloxía e Patrimonio (CAPA)[ES] Entre 2008 y 2010, en el marco de los estudios sobre Arqueología del Paisaje y Paisajes Culturales del Íncipit, se desarrollaron una serie de pequeñas actuaciones en el conjunto del círculo lítico y túmulos de Monte Lobeira (Vilanova de Arousa, Pontevedra). La comprensión de este tipo de conjuntos -tanto de los círculos propiamente dichos como de su relación estructuras tumulares- necesita de un impulso que debe ser aboradado de forma integradora e interdisciplinar. El objetivo principal de las atuaciones era lograr el máximo de información sobre el círculo y su contexto minimizando al máximo el grado de intervención. Se obtuvo una restitución tridimensional del círculo por escáner láser 3D, se realizó una prospección geofísica del subsuelo y se realizó un sondeo arqueológico de 8x1m. La presente monografía da cuenta de estos trabajos y de sus resultados.[EN] Between 2008 and 2010, in the framework of the Landscape Archaeology and Cultural Landscapes research line at the Institute of Heritage Sciences (Íncipit, CSIC), work was undertaken in the Stone circle and mounds of Monte Lobeira (Vilanova de Arousa, Pontevedra). Understanding this kind of archaeological ensembles has traditionally lacked a global and interdisciplinary approach. The main research objective of this work was to obtain a máximum of information on the Stone circle by means of a low-invasive methodology. A 3D reconstruction of the Stone circle was obtained by Terrestrial Laser Sacnning (TLS), geophysics was applied to the working área and an 8x1m test pit was excavated. This monograph presents this work and its results.Financiación del proyecto: Programa de investigación en tecnologías para la valoración y conservación del patrimonio cultural-TCP (ref.

Comparative Study of Infliximab Versus Adalimumab in Refractory Uveitis due to Behçet's Disease: National Multicenter Study of 177 Cases.

To compare the efficacy of infliximab (IFX) versus adalimumab (ADA) as a first-line biologic drug over 1 year of treatment in a large series of patients with refractory uveitis due to Behçet's disease (BD). We conducted an open-label multicenter study of IFX versus ADA for BD-related uveitis refractory to conventional nonbiologic treatment. IFX or ADA was chosen as the first-line biologic agent based on physician and patient agreement. Patients received 3-5 mg/kg intravenous IFX at 0, 2, and 6 weeks and every 4-8 weeks thereafter, or 40 mg subcutaneous ADA every other week without a loading dose. Ocular parameters were compared between the 2 groups. The study included 177 patients (316 affected eyes), of whom 103 received IFX and 74 received ADA. There were no significant baseline differences between treatment groups in main demographic features, previous therapy, or ocular sign severity. After 1 year of therapy, we observed an improvement in all ocular parameters in both groups. However, patients receiving ADA had significantly better outcomes in some parameters, including improvement in anterior chamber inflammation (92.31% versus 78.18% for IFX; P = 0.06), improvement in vitritis (93.33% versus 78.95% for IFX; P = 0.04), and best-corrected visual acuity (mean ± SD 0.81 ± 0.26 versus 0.67 ± 0.34 for IFX; P = 0.001). A nonsignificant difference was seen for macular thickness (mean ± SD 250.62 ± 36.85 for ADA versus 264.89 ± 59.74 for IFX; P = 0.15), and improvement in retinal vasculitis was similar between the 2 groups (95% for ADA versus 97% for IFX; P = 0.28). The drug retention rate was higher in the ADA group (95.24% versus 84.95% for IFX; P = 0.042). Although both IFX and ADA are efficacious in refractory BD-related uveitis, ADA appears to be associated with better outcomes than IFX after 1 year of follow-up
