Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Reconstructing Late Pleistocene to Prehistorical Holocene Geomagnetic Field Variations From La Palma Lava Flows (Canary Islands, Spain): Unraveling Viscous Components

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract We present new vector paleomagnetic data from 13 radiometrically dated lava‐flows in southern La Palma (Canary Islands) spanning from 1 to 56 ka, which covers most of the Late Pleistocene to prehistoric Holocene volcanic record in the island.

Validating a Target‐Enrichment Design for Capturing Uniparental Haplotypes in Ancient Domesticated Animals

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT In the last three decades, DNA sequencing of ancient animal osteological assemblages has become an important tool complementing standard archaeozoological approaches to reconstruct the history of animal domestication. However, osteological assemblages of key archaeological contexts are not always available or do not necessarily preserve enough

Cuon Versus Canis: A Comparative Guide to the Morphological Distinction of Postcranial Bones and Its Archaeo‐Paleontological Implications

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 263-283, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The genera Cuon and Canis are part of the carnivore guild during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene in Europe. However, most identifications in archaeo‐palaeontological contexts are made on cranial and dental elements as these are taxonomically the most diagnostic anatomical regions.

Tephra Deposits of the Tajogaite Volcano, La Palma: Changes of Magnetic Properties Through the 2021 Eruption

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 15, 16 August 2025.
Abstract We report the results of a rockmagnetic study of tephra material produced by the Tajogaite volcano, in La Palma (Canary Islands), during 19 September through 13 December 2021. Our magnetic analysis reveals a change of rock magnetic properties through the eruption.

Evidence of glass bead‐making in the early Islamic Iberian Peninsula

Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue 2, Page 364-379, April 2025.
Abstract Glass beads from two Islamic archaeological sites in the Tagus valley in central Spain were selected and analysed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS), and a subset of samples (n = 6) was analysed for Pb isotopes by multicollector thermal ionization mass spectrometry (MC‐TIMS).

Holocene biogeography of the southwestern European white‐toothed shrew (Crocidura iculisma, Eulipotyphla) through its fossil record

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
The shrew Crocidura iculisma has a fragmented distribution limited to southwestern Europe. This study analyzes changes in its geographic distribution including palaeontological and modern data, revealing a significant reduction its range during the Holocene due to competitive exclusion by Crocidura russula and climatic changes.

Exploitation of Mining Resources in El Argar Culture: Bronze Age Metallurgy in the Hinterland of the Western Betic Cordillera (Southeastern Iberian Peninsula)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 40, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT This research addresses the territorial organisation of metallurgical production during the El Argar Bronze Age (2200–1550 cal bc) in the inner areas of El Argar territory through lead‐isotope and trace element analyses of geological copper ores, archaeometallurgical remains and copper‐based artefacts.

The Zooarchaeology of an Iberian Medieval Jewish Community: The Castle of Lorca (Murcia, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
ABSTRACT Archaeological excavations at the castle of Lorca (Murcia, Spain) led to the identification of part of the Jewish district of the town. This area, occupied between the 14th and 15th centuries, represents a unique example of a medieval frontier Jewish quarter defined by complex urban planning, a synagogue, and various domestic units ...
