Rare Alkali Elements as Markers of Local Glass Working in Medieval Tolmo de Minateda (Spain). [PDF]
Chempluschem, 2022 Rare alkali element contamination of medieval vitreous materials by both the crucible ceramic and fuel vapour are shown in this work. Systematic recycling of old cullet, using crucibles made from clay from the Central Iberian Massif, resulted in unique trace element patterns that can serve as identifiers of Iberian glass processing. Abstract Analytical

Revealing Developmental Transitions in Perinatal and Infant Individuals Through Microanatomical Analysis. [PDF]
Am J Hum BiolABSTRACT Objectives Identifying signs of birth in perinatal human remains of past populations is challenging due to the lack of direct markers of this event on bones. This research aims to identify distinct events in humeral cross‐sections microanatomy related to perinatal development and to integrate the findings into infant mortality trends. Material

Assessing place‐based identities in the early Middle Ages: a proposal for post‐Roman Iberia
Early Medieval Europe, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 23-50, February 2023., 2023 Sociological models of place‐based identity can be used to better understand the social dynamics of local communities and how they interact with their surroundings. This paper explores how these theoretical models of belonging to a place, in tandem with communal cognitive maps, can be applied to post‐Roman contexts, taking the Iberian Peninsula in the ...

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 150-163, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Accurate and precise age‐at‐death estimation methods are critical when studying past lifeways. However, adult age‐at‐death estimation is often difficult because of diverse physiologies, preservation, and timing of biological processes in target and reference populations. These challenges can complicate the comparison of results between studies,
