Adquisición y gestión de la cuarcita en la Región Cantábrica: El Paleolítico medio y superior en las Cuencas del Deva, Cares y Güeña

589 p.El objetivo general de esta tesis doctoral es conocer los mecanismos de adquisición, gestión y distribución que las sociedades paleolíticas pusieron en práctica para explotar la cuarcita en la Región Cantábrica. Debido al escaso desarrollo en la caracterización de esta materia prima lítica en estudios previos, en este trabajo hemos caracterizado la cuarcita desde un punto de vista geo-arqueológico en este marco geográfico.La aplicación de esta metodología integral en una zona más acotada, los valles del Deva, Cares y Güeña, nos ha permitido entender la cuarcita desde un punto de vista geológico y arqueológico. Por un lado, hemos caracterizado el aporte sedimentario original de las cuarcitas, su transformación y las inclusiones minerales que esta roca ha recibido en los diferentes ambientes geológicos. Esto nos ha permitido clasificar las cuarcitas en siete tipos basados en su génesis y múltiples variedades en función de los tamaños de los granos de cuarzo que componen masivamente la cuarcita y sus aportes minerales. Asimismo, hemos descrito los estratos geológicos en los que aparece y hemos caracterizado tanto su disposición como su dispersión teniendo en cuenta los tipos establecidos. Por otro lado, a través del análisis de las industrias líticas de los niveles VI, XIII y XXII de El Esquilleu, del nivel Co.B.6 de Coimbre y de los yacimientos de El Habario y El Arteu, hemos podido inferir las pautas de adquisición, gestión y distribución de la cuarcita en los valles del Deva, Cares y Güeña durante el Paleolítico medio y superior. Esto nos ha permitido observar las diferentes estrategias de gestión de un medio ambiente montañoso y heterogéneo como es la zona central de la Región Cantábrica

Quartzite procurement in conglomerates and deposits:Geoarchaeological characterization of potential catchmentareas in the central part of the Cantabrian Region, Spain

Raw material characterization in Paleolithic archaeology has widened our knowledge of Middle Paleolithic societies. Procurement of raw material, specifically flint, has allowed the tracing of the mobility of both stones and people, as well as selective processes to obtain specific types or even extraction activities. The analysis of quartzite has also developed in recent years, providing an opportunity to better understand prehistoric societies. This study characterizes the procurement strategies implemented by Middle Paleolithic people in the mountainous region of the Picos de Europa. To this end, we present a comprehensive characterization of potential catchment areas: massive outcrops, conglomerates, and river deposits. The exploitation of quartzite at the sites of El Habario and El Arteu allows us to understand the territorial management of this mountainous area through the combination of selective processes and mobility mechanisms in lower and middle altitudes. These perspectives enable us to view the mountainous region not as a barrier but as an environmental mosaic managed by Middle Paleolithic groups. This study shows strategies that bring together direct and embedded procurement based on both intensive and extensive searches. These discourses are more closely related to the daily life of people than those only considering the mobility of people and objects.Education Department of the Government of the Basque Country, Grant/Award Number: POS_2018_1_002; The Spanish Ministry of Science Project, Grant/Award Number: HAR2017-82493-C3-1-P; The Consolidated Research Group in Prehistory of the Basque Country University, Grant/Award Number: IT-1223-1

Determination of lithic raw materials in Cantabrian Spain during Greenland Stadial 2: The Magdalenian of Tito Bustillo Cave (Ribadesella, Asturias)

The lithic assemblage studied here comes from the space known as the ' Area de Estancia in Tito Bustillo Cave (Ribadesella, Asturias, Spain), a representative Magdalenian site. The remains were found in Sub-level 1c2 in the Lower Complex (1LC), which was excavated by J.A. Moure Romanillo from 1981 to 1983 and is associated with abundant evidence of osseous industry, fauna, portable art, etc. The present study is especially innovative because it introduces a holistic approach to the understanding of the management of lithic resources by hunter -gatherer groups in the late Pleistocene. It establishes the two main groups of raw materials in the assemblage (flint and quartzite) and the different types through a petrographic description, and the different procurement strategies that were employed. Some preliminary results about the functionality of these tools are also offered. The occupants of this cave during the Greenland Stadial 2 traced a diversified and complex dynamic of exploitation of lithic resources that combined both the most immediate, easily available and in greater volume (for example, quartzite and Pilon similar to a flint), and the most distant, of good knapping quality (Flysch flint, funda-mentally). This circulation of raw materials is parallel to the patterns detected in other deposits in the region with a similar chronology. Significant differences are observed in the knapping schemes between raw materials based on the production of blanks for the manufacture of tools, whose typological classification and analysis of use-wear makes us propose a specialized and little diversified functionality, which is usually related to that of temporary occupations.This research was undertaken in the context of Ph.D. scholarship Junta de Castilla y León and Fondo Social Europeo (S.

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science. Our core approach involves linking long-term grassroots initiatives with standardized protocols and data management to generate robust scaled-up results. By connecting tropical researchers and elevating their status, our Social Research Network model recognises the key role of the data originator in scientific discovery. Conceived in 1999 with RAINFOR (South America), our permanent plot networks have been adapted to Africa (AfriTRON) and Southeast Asia (T-FORCES) and widely emulated worldwide. Now these multiple initiatives are integrated via ForestPlots.net cyber-infrastructure, linking colleagues from 54 countries across 24 plot networks. Collectively these are transforming understanding of tropical forests and their biospheric role. Together we have discovered how, where and why forest carbon and biodiversity are responding to climate change, and how they feedback on it. This long-term pan-tropical collaboration has revealed a large long-term carbon sink and its trends, as well as making clear which drivers are most important, which forest processes are affected, where they are changing, what the lags are, and the likely future responses of tropical forests as the climate continues to change. By leveraging a remarkably old technology, plot networks are sparking a very modern revolution in tropical forest science. In the future, humanity can benefit greatly by nurturing the grassroots communities now collectively capable of generating unique, long-term understanding of Earth's most precious forests.Additional co-authors: Susan Laurance, William Laurance, Francoise Yoko Ishida, Andrew Marshall, Catherine Waite, Hannsjoerg Woell, Jean-Francois Bastin, Marijn Bauters, Hans Beeckman, Pfascal Boeckx, Jan Bogaert, Charles De Canniere, Thales de Haulleville, Jean-Louis Doucet, Olivier Hardy, Wannes Hubau, Elizabeth Kearsley, Hans Verbeeck, Jason Vleminckx, Steven W.

Flint and other raw materials as evidence of contacts between hunter-gatherer groups during the Upper Palaeolithic of Cantabrian Spain: Synthesis of available information

Numero de páginas:46, 7 Figuras[EN] Flint was the most widely used lithic raw material in Europe in Prehistory and, more specifically, was a fundamental resource in the economic and social networks of hunter-gatherer groups in the Cantabrian Spain during the Upper Palaeolithic. The undeniable preference for it compared with other resources was due to a series of factors, such as its easy availability because of its abundance and wide distribution of outcrops, and its excellent qualities for knapping. This summary of the available information about flint and other raw materials used by hunter-gatherers is framed in the context of Upper Palaeolithic occupations in Cantabrian Spain. First, it presents the studies focusing on the provenance of the different types of flint that are found in those occupations; their quantitative representation at each of the sites; their preference, if that is the case, over other raw materials; and the model of their diffusion across the territory. Then other resources are considered, such as quartzite, ochre and different metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks, as well as some materials of biological origin, such as amber, jet/lignite and fossils of animal origin. However, the information available about the use of the latter raw materials in Cantabrian Spain during the Upper Palaeolithic is quite limited and studies of their characterisation are very recent.[FR] Le silex est la principale matière première lithique utilisée dans la Préhistoire du continent européen et c’est une ressource fondamentale dans les circuits économiques et sociaux des groupes de chasseurs-cueilleurs pendant le Paléolithique supérieur de la région cantabrique (nord de l’Espagne). Sa préférence incontestable par rapport aux autres ressources repose sur une série de qualités telles qu’une disponibilité facile du fait de sa grande abondance, de la grande dispersion des affleurements, ainsi que les excellentes qualités pour sa taille. Dans cet article, nous présentons une synthèse des informations disponibles à partir des études sur le silex et d’autres matières premières utilisées par les groupes de chasseurs-cueilleurs. Cette révision a été abordée dans le cadre des occupations archéologiques de la région cantabrique datées du Paléolithique supérieur. D’une part, il s’agit des études relatives à la provenance des différents types de silex trouvés, leur représentation quantitative dans chacun des gisements révisées, préférence, si c’est le cas, par rapport aux autres matières premières documentées, ainsi que leur modèle de diffusion sur le territoire. D’autre part, d’autres ressources sont traitées, comme le quartzite, l’ocre et différentes roches métamorphiques, sédimentaires et ignées, ainsi que quelques matériaux d’origine biologique, comme l’ambre, le jais/lignite et les fossiles d’origine animale. Les informations disponibles concernant l’utilisation de ces matières premières dans le contexte du Paléolithique supérieur cantabrique sont assez rares et leurs études de caractérisation sont récentes.S.M.-J. est chercheur pre´ doctoral pour la Junta de Castilla y Leo´n et le Fonds social europe´ en.
