Palynological investigations in the Orce Archaeological Zone, Early Pleistocene of Southern Spain

First palynological results from the archaeological site of Sopot , Croatia

The arrival of food-producing economies in the Neolithic started the transformation of the natural landscape into the cultural landscapes we see today (LECHTERBECK et al., 2014). The study of past human activities and their environmental effect is high on the agenda of global change research. A record of pollen assemblages is one of the most common proxies employed for detecting the impact of h...

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Pleistocene sediments in Lake Llauset (Southern Pyrenees, Spain)-a first approach

The high alpine valleys in the Southem Pyrenees are characterised by a many small lakes and ponds. They occur above 2000 m and are said to have been formed by glacial erosion. The sediments in these basins should, therefore, contain s t p tigraphic information since deglaciation, at least. An interesting and may be one of the most important of these basins is Lake Llauset in the Alta Ribagorca....

An Early Pleistocene hominin mandible from Atapuerca-TD6, Spain.

We present a mandible recovered in 2003 from the Aurora Stratum of the TD6 level of the Gran Dolina site (Sierra de Atapuerca, northern Spain). The specimen, catalogued as ATD6-96, adds to the hominin sample recovered from this site in 1994-1996, and assigned to Homo antecessor. ATD6-96 is the left half of a gracile mandible belonging to a probably female adult individual with premolars and mol...

A new early Pleistocene hominin mandible from Atapuerca-TD6, Spain.

We present the description of a new mandibular specimen, ATD6-113, recovered in 2006 from the TD6 level of the Gran Dolina cave site in Sierra de Atapuerca, northern Spain. A detailed study of the lithostratigraphy of the top sequence of this level, the section from where all human remains have been recovered so far, is also presented. We have observed that the hominin stratum, previously defin...
