[EN] This paper is based on the data from archaeological surveysat La Genestosa (Casillas de Flores, Salamanca) in 2012 and 2013. The study of the uncovered material (pottery, glasses,numerical slates), the interpretation of building techniques and pollen analysis provided information about the dynamics of rural landscape in Central Iberia. The initiative of peasant groups, with internal social differences, was the cause of an internalcolonization for farming of some spaces of flexible use, which involved the creation of new settlements. The coincidence withthe early medieval cold episode (450-950 AD) implied that some wetlands became critical for livestock purposes. As a result, settlement patterns would be determined by the closeness of those areas. ; [ES] Este artículo presenta los datos de las intervenciones arqueológicas realizadas en La Genestosa (Casillas de Flores, Salamanca) en los años 2012 y 2013. Gracias al estudio de losmateriales recuperados (cerámicas, vidrios, pizarras numerales), del estudio de las viviendas y de los análisis polínicos, se puede comprender la dinámica del paisaje rural en este sector del centro de la península ibérica. Se detecta la colonizaciónde espacios de uso flexible con fines ganaderos, que serían la consecuencia de una iniciativa por grupos campesinos condiferencias internas, quienes crearon nuevos asentamientos. La coincidencia con el episodio frío altomedieval (450-950 d. C.) conllevó que determinados espacios húmedos se convirtiesen en áreas críticas, condicionando los patrones de asentamiento.

Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, although its application in archaeobotany is relatively recent. Over the last few decades, there has been an increasing interest in the use of morphometrics for analysing a varied range of archaeological plant materials (mainly seeds, pollen, phytoliths, and starch grains). In particular, morphometrics have contributed to the study of the domestication and spread of many cereals world-wide, as well as that of other taxa including legumes, underground storage organs (USO), and fruits (such as olives, grapes, and dates). This paper reviews current methodologies, recent applications, and advances in the use of morphometrics in archaeobotanical research, discusses its role in exploring major research questions, and suggests possible future directions for its use. ; MP work was carried out within the framework of the EU Horizon 2020 MICROARCHEODUNG project.

Peer Reviewed ; This research aims to shed light on the early stages of agricultural development in Northern Africa through the analysis of the rich macro-botanical assemblages obtained from Ifri Oudadane, an Epipalaeolithic-Early Neolithic site from North-East Morocco. Results indicate the presence of domesticated plants, cereals (Hordeum vulgare, Triticum monococcum/. dicoccum, Triticum durum and Triticum aestivum/. durum) and pulses (Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum) in the Early Neolithic. One lentil has been dated to 7611 ± 37 cal BP representing the oldest direct date of a domesticated plant seed in Morocco and, by extension, in North Africa. Similarities in both radiocarbon dates and crop assemblages from Early Neolithic sites in Northern Morocco and the Iberian Peninsula suggest a simultaneous East to West maritime spread of agriculture along the shores of the Western Mediterranean. Wild plants were abundantly collected in both the Epipalaeolithic and the Early Neolithic periods pointing to the important role of these resources during the two periods. In addition to fruits and seeds that could have been consumed by both humans and domesticated animals, fragments of esparto grass (Stipa tenacissima) rhizomes have been identified. This is a western Mediterranean native plant that may have been used as a source of fibres for basketry. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents the results of the first excavation campaign of the Artusia rock shelter in Unzué, Navarre, Spain. Chronocultural and archaeobiological analyses revealed five different occupation phases (Artusia I–V) within the regional Mesolithic timeline, specifically in the Mesolithic of Notches and Denticulates (Artusia I and II) and the Geometric Mesolithic (Artusia III, IV, and V). In addition, the study of the sedimentological and palaeoenvironmental evolution in the entire record helped to clearly define several climatic events which developed around 6550 cal BC–8500 cal BP and 6250 cal BC–8200 cal BP. Here, we present a description of these events and their (pre)historical interpretation with the aim of recognizing how they influenced the Mesolithic hunter–gatherer groups living in the Ebro Basin of the Iberian Peninsula. ; projects "Los Caminos del Neolítico" -HAR2009- 09027- and "Los Caminos del Neolítico II" -(HAR2013-46800-P)- under directed by Dr. Manuel Rojo Guerra, granted by the Subdirectorate General for Research Projects/General Directorate of Research and Management of the National Plan for R and D and Innovation/Secretary of State for Research of the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain, and co-financed by the Government of Navarre.
