- Abstract
This work examines the possible behaviour of Neanderthal groups at the Cueva Des-Cubierta (central Spain) via the analysis of the latter’s archaeological assemblage. Alongside evidence of Mousterian lithic industry, Level 3 of the cave infll was found to contain an assemblage of mammalian bone remains dominated by the crania of large ungulates, some associated with small hearths. The scarcity of post-cranial elements, teeth, mandibles and maxillae, along with evidence of anthropogenic modifcation of the crania (cut and percussion marks), indicates that the carcasses of the corresponding animals were initially processed outside the cave, and the crania were later brought inside. A second round of processing then took place, possibly related to the removal of the brain. The continued presence of crania throughout Level 3 indicates that this behaviour was recurrent during this level’s formation. This behaviour seems to have no subsistence-related purpose but to be more symbolic in its intent.

- Abstract
A new record from a long sediment core (S3) in Navamuño (1505 m asl, western Iberian Central System) provides the reconstruction of the vegetation history and environmental changes in the region between 15.6 and 10.6 ka cal BP, namely during the Late Glacial and the early Holocene, using a multiproxy analysis (pollen-based vegetation and climate reconstruction, sedimentary macrocharcoals, loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements). The results are then compared with other sequences from the Iberian Central System and the whole Iberian Peninsula in order to better understand the past dynamics of the main forest constituents. The pollen record shows a shift from open pine forests ∼15.6–14.7 ka cal BP (Oldest Dryas) to mixed open pine-birch woodlands ∼14.7–14.0 ka cal BP (Bølling). Woodlands were succeeded by a steppe-like landscape until ∼13.4 ka cal BP (Older Dryas), which was replaced again by high-mountain pine forests and riparian woodlands ∼13.4–12.6 ka cal BP (Allerød). A great development of cold steppe grasslands linked to the decline of birch woodlands is documented ∼12.6–11.7 ka cal BP (Younger Dryas). The early Holocene (11.7–10.6 ka cal BP) was characterized by a progressive reforestation of the study area by pine and birch forests in the highlands and oak woods in the lowlands. Temperate tree taxa (Carpinus betulus, Castanea sativa, Corylus avellana, Fraxinus, Juglans, Tilia, and Ulmus) were also common but likely at lower elevations. Pollen of Fagus sylvatica was already recorded during the Late Glacial and the early Holocene. The marked increasing local fire activity during the warmer and wetter Allerød oscillation could be related to a rise in tree cover, supporting the climatically driven character of these fires. Nevertheless, the strong increase in fire activity during the Younger Dryas would probably be related to growing tree and shrub mortality, as well as to the wet/dry biphasic structure of this stadial

- Abstract
In this paper, we conduct a palynological analysis of a high-resolution Holocene record from Cartagena Bay, southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, to establish paleoenvironmental variability of coastal areas in the western Mediterranean region at a centennial-scale over the last 7300 years. Statistical analysis of four palynozones allows reconstruction of paleotemperature and paleohumidity conditions. Pinus, steppic, xerophilous, and Mediterranean taxa persisted continuously through the record, and only during periods of increased humidity did deciduous and Mediterranean taxa expand (Zones II, subzone IIIb). Cooler and dry conditions favored the development of Cupressaceae and scrubs between 7300 and 7000 yr cal BP. The mid-Holocene (Northgrippian) mesophytic optimum took place between 6800 and 4000 yr cal BP during which time a Mediterranean climate was present and open forest developed, predominantly consisting of Mediterranean taxa and deciduous trees. The gradual rise in aridity in the Meghalayan (4000–1700 yr cal BP) led to Mediterranean forest being replaced by steppic and xerophilous vegetation, a change related mostly to a decrease in summer insolation, with superimposed centennial-scale variability in humidity. In parallel with forest degradation caused by increasing aridity, the record shows marked evidence of human influence since 4000 yr cal BP, which accelerated the progression of open landscapes from the Chalcolithic onwards, this change being especially marked during the Roman period. Significant denudation of the landscape can be attributed to the use of fire, as well as due to agriculture and grazing, with a major contributor being intense metallurgical and mining activity in the area. The Cartagena Bay record reported herein shows centennial-scale oscillations in humidity and temperature that correlate with well-known climatic events during the late Holocene in the western Mediterranean region, synchronous with variability in solar and atmospheric dyn

- Abstract
Sedimentological, paleobiological, mineralogical, and geochemical analyses of a sediment core retrieved on the seafront of Cartagena Bay were performed after high-resolution sampling. A wide series of dates obtained through radiocarbon and amino acid racemization proved that the Holocene record on the analyzed core began at ca. 7300 yr cal BP. Reinterpretation of the marine seismic profiles indicated that the beginning of this transgression was channeled along erosive paleochannels excavated on a coastal plain of, at least, MIS5c age. The Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution consisted of a first period marked by marine conditions with strong inputs from a fan delta linked to the reorganized fluvial network that occurred after the sudden rise of the base level, which caused a growing sedimentary prism. Later, the full marine environment was reflected in the development of a Posidonia-Cymodocea meadow hosting a rich biodiversity of marine species (mollusks, foraminifera, ostracoda). Around 3800 yr cal BP, the area underwent a profound change and a silting process started to alter the conditions, turning the area into a paucispecific brackish marsh environment in which mud deposition was dominant. Since Carthaginian times, arrangement works locally affected the record, allowing the arrival of some marine species due to port work (dredging) undertaken to gain depth and showing anthropic influence.

- Abstract
We reconstructed the palaeoenvironmental conditions of Cartagena Bay during the Holocene after a multidisciplinary study to identify natural variations and the anthropic processes of this coastal area. A total of 119 samples were recovered for amino acid racemization dating, 3 for radiocarbon dating (14C), and four sets of 80 samples for sedimentological and palaeontological determination, mineralogical content, biomarker and trace elements quantification. Two natural scenarios were identified from the variations of n-alkane indices and palaeobiological content. The first period (6650-5750 yr cal BP) was marked by the development of euhaline marine conditions with strong inputs from aquatic macrophytes and high biodiversity. After a hiatus, the area underwent a profound change, becoming a paucispecific brackish marsh environment with increasing inputs from land plants, with possible episodes of emersion with a greater presence from terrestrial gastropods (3600-300 cal yr BP). By combining trace element abundance and stanol distributions, our study also provides a novel approach to identify the predominant influence of anthropogenic factors in the last three millennia in the coastal record of Cartagena Bay. Findings confirmed that Pb mining and metallurgy began during the Bronze Age, with considerable inputs of this heavy metal into the atmosphere during Phoenician, Punic and particularly Roman times compared to the Middle Ages. Pollution by Cu and Zn was also observed during Punic and Roman times, and was first documented in the Middle Ages. In addition, faecal stanols, such as coprostanol, derived mainly from humans, and 24-ethylcoprostanol from herbivores were present, thereby indicating for the first time a continuous presence of human populations and significant pollution input since 3600 yr cal BP, this being greater in the late Bronze Age and Phoenician, Punic and Roman times than during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, when the city was in decline.

- Abstract
Knowledge about the relative impact of climate and socio-economic factors on agriculture is still not well known as they change in space and time. Social researchers stress the role of endogenous (societal, economical, etc.) factors whilst physical/natural scientists focus on the role of climate on land use and land cover change, but the latter do not usually focus on human dynamics. Through the analysis of proxies of land cover, sediment yield (erosion) and salinity changes from sediments in a fluvial wetland in central Spain and documentary evidence collected from the 16th century onwards, it becomes clear that climate impact on farming has changed during this period. Thus, until ca. 1725 CE, agriculture production in central-southern Spain followed the cycles and trends of rainfall at the annual, multiannual and decennial time scales. From that time onwards, production began to show discrepancies with climate, with high production cycles associated with dry periods being common and a sustained productivity that was independent of climate trends and it must be related to socio-economic changes. This change from climate-driven to human-driven agriculture can be seen in other areas of the Iberian Peninsula but at different times that vary from the first half of the 17th century until the first half of the 18th century. These different times can be attributed to diachronous changes in the Little Ice Age phases and local and regional differences in economic factors (such as proximity to commercial routes, development of markets) and their evolution, as supported by the different information sources.

- Abstract
Trace element concentrations in the Cartagena Bay coastal record reveal a contribution of natural processes. However, the influence of anthropogenic factors predominates in the last three millennia, particularly aerosol deposition linked to mining and industrial activities in the area. The coastal record of Cartagena can be considered a preserved environment, suitable to search for regional human activity fingerprinting, specifically that related to the deposition of heavy metals such as Pb and Cu. A multivariate statistical analysis was carried out to clarify the geochemical behaviour of trace and major elements. Our study design represents a novel approach to assign natural contributions, such as eolian and riverine input, to coastal deposits, and organic matter preservation under anoxic environments. Therefore, synergies obtained by the simultaneous study of multivariate statistics and enrichment factors allow robust conclusions about palaeoenvironmental evolution and human activities. Anthropogenic influence suggested that Pb mining and metallurgy began during the Chalcolithic period, with considerable inputs of Pb and Cu to atmospheric pollution during Phoenician, Punic and Roman times.

Se perforó un sondeo de 30 m en la Bahía de Cartagena. El doble objetivo del mismo fue obtener datos sobre el antiguo frente marítimo de la ciudad romana y establecer la cronoestratigrafía y evolución paleoambiental. El sondeo (E3) se muestreó con alta resolución. Los sedimentos de la parte inferior (30-11,3 m) con predominio de colores marrones que indican condiciones oxidantes, la fauna de aguas salobres (Cerastoderma glaucum/Cyprideis torosa) y la sedimentación dominada por fangos y arenas, permiten interpretar el medio sedimentario estudiado como una llanura fangosa costera ligada a un abanico aluvial. Las edades AAR obtenidas revelan que todo el MIS5 está incluido en el registro. La parte superior (11,3-3,0 m), correspondiente al MIS 1, consiste en fangos orgánicos negros con arena y grava.

Situé au contact entre le Subbétique externe (Cabra) et le Subbétique moyen (Horconera), le piémont de Priego (Cordoue, Esp.) se caractérise par la présence d’un édifice travertineux segmenté, en relation avec la dynamique d’un karst de moyenne montagne méditerranéenne, dont la séquence chrono-sédimentaire inclut le Tardiglaciaire et l’Holocène. Du point de vue morphologique, on distingue deux secteurs : celui de l’Institut Alvarez Cubero et celui de l’Ardave-Cubé, dans lesquels on peut reconnaître différents corps sédimentaires à faciès mixtes. La séquence climato-sédimentaire définit une karstification active avec d’importantes fluctuations entre 18 900 et 2 600 ans, avec une dominance de flore xérophile méditerranéenne typique. Puis la séquence climato-anthropique se développe à partir du Subatlantique avec des faciès détritiques et des sols anthropiques, avec l’emprise des travaux agricoles. Ubicado en el contacte entre el Subbético Externo (Cabra) y el Subbético Medio (Horconera), el piedemonte de Priego (Córdoba, Espana) se caractérisa por la présencia de un compartimentado edificio travertínico, relacionado con la dinamica de un karst de montaña media mediterranea, cuya secuencia crono-sedimentaria abarca el Tardiglaciar y Holoceno. Morfológicamente se identifican dos sectores, Sector Institute Alvarez Cubero y Sector Adarve-Cubé, en los que pueden reconocerse diverses cuerpos sedimentarios con facies mixtas. La secuencia climatosedimentaria define una karstificación sostenida con fluctuaciones importantes entre 18.9 et 2.6 ky BP., dominando la tendencia hacia la típica xerofília mediterránea. Mientras que la secuencia climato-antropica con faciès detriticas, antrosols y consolidacion de las labores agricolas, se desarrolla a partir del Subatlántico.

Publié en hommage à Jean NICOD, karstologue français de réputation internationale, "Karst et Évolutions Climatiques" a aussi pour but de faire le point sur l'évolution d'une science neuve issue notamment de la géomorphologie, de la spéléologie et de l'hydrogéologie. Après un rappel de l'histoire de la Karstologie française de 1900 à 1992, plusieurs scientifiques s'interrogent sur la problématique et la limite de validité des concepts de la géomorphologie climatique. La variété des paysages calcaires et des systèmes karstiques est remarquable à l'échelle de la planète en raison du rôle combiné des paramètres litho-stratigraphiques, tectoniques, géomorphologiques et climatiques. On voyage ainsi de la naissance de la karstification sur les atolls coralliens jusqu'aux karsts subpolaires de Sibérie et du Spitzberg en passant par les karsts tropicaux, méditerranéens et alpins. Mais le karst a une dimension supplémentaire représentée par l'ensemble des réseaux souterrains, conduits et fissures. Cette interdépendance entre spéléologie et karstologie de surface est de plus en plus prise en compte par les chercheurs qui privilégient, à juste titre, l'étude des remplissages endokarstiques, véritables archives de l'Environnement, dont l'importance a été accrue ces dernières décennies par les possibilités de datations, notamment isotopiques. L'ouvrage se termine par une synthèse des karsts et paléokarsts du Périgord et du Quercy, car ils constituent un des exemples d'évolution karstique à long terme (depuis la fin de l'ère secondaire) les mieux connus. Au total, 35 articles de scientifiques étrangers et français qui permettent de juger de la richesse des terrains karstiques, des concepts renouvelés de la Karstologie et des perspectives de recherches. Essentiellement axé sur la recherche fondamentale, cet ouvrage comporte plusieurs articles de synthèse et ouvre grand la porte aux études appliquées ; en effet on ne peut parler d'Environnement avec compétence que si l'on connaît le fonctionnement du milieu naturel avec ou sans l'impact de l'Homme.

- Abstract
The Navamuño peatbog (Sierra de Béjar, western Spain) is a ∼14 ha pseudo-endorheic depression with boundaries defined by a lateral moraine of the Cuerpo de Hombre paleoglacier and fault-line scarps on granite bedrock. The stratigraphy of the Navamuño peatbog system is characterized here using borehole data to a depth of 20 m. An integrated interpretation from direct-push coring, dynamic probing boreholes and handheld auger drillings advances our knowledge of the Navamuño polygenetic infill. Correlating this data with those obtained in other studies of the chronology and evolutionary sequence of the Cuerpo de Hombre paleoglacier has enabled us to establish the sequence of the hydrological system in the Navamuño depression. During the Late Pleistocene (MIS2), the depression was dammed by the Cuerpo de Hombre glacier and fed by its lateral meltwaters, and was filled with glaciolacustrine deposits. The onset of the Holocene in Navamuño is linked to a flat, fluviotorrential plain with episodes of local shallow pond/peat bog sedimentation. This evolutionary sequence is congruent with the age model obtained from available radiocarbon dating, obtaining 19 ages from ∼800 cal yr BP (at depth 1.11 m) to ∼16800 cal yr BP (at depth 15.90–16.0 m). Finally, the sedimentary record enabled interpretation of the environmental changes occurring in this zone during the late glacial (from the Older Dryas to the Younger Dryas) and postglacial (Holocene) stages, placing them within the paleoclimatic context of the Iberian Peninsula and Mediterranean regions.

- Abstract
The geometric and genetic characterization of the Navamuño depression peatland system (Iberian Central System) is presented here using results from a geophysical survey. This depression is a ~30 ha pseudo-endorheic flat basin over granitic bedrock. Three geophysical techniques were used to map the subsurface geology, and identify and describe the infill sequence: shallow seismic refraction (SR), Magnetic Resonance Sounding (MRS) and electrical resistivity measurements (VES and ERT). The three main geoelectrical layers (G1, G2, G3) identified in previous research, have also been identified in the present work. Using the data obtained in this new research we have been able to analyse these three geological layers in detail and reinterpret them. They can be grouped genetically into two sedimentary units: an ancient sedimentary body (G3), of unknown age and type, beneath an Upper Pleistocene (G2) and Holocene (G1) sedimentary infill. The facies distribution and geometry of the Upper Pleistocene was examined using the Sequence Stratigraphy method, revealing that the Navamuño depression was an ice-dammed in the last glacial cycle resulting in glaciolacustrine sedimentation. A highly permeable sedimentary layer or regolith exists beneath the glaciolacustrine deposits. Below 40 m depth, water content falls dramatically down to a depth of 80 m where unweathered bedrock may be present. The information obtained from geophysical, geological and geomorphological studies carried out in this research, enabled us to consider various hypotheses as to the origin of this depression. According to these data, the Navamuño depression may be explained as the result of a transtensional process from the Puerto de Navamuño strike-slip fault during the reactivation of the Iberian Central System (Paleogene-Lower Miocene, Alpine orogeny), and can be correlated with the pull-apart type basins described in these areas. The neotectonic activity of this fault and the ice-dammed processes in these a

The Navamuño depression, located in the high sector of the Cuerpo de Hombre valley (Sierra de Béjar), was partly occupied by a glacier during the Late Pleistocene. The basin is a ~14 Ha pseudoendorheic depression with boundaries defined by fault lineaments and the left lateral moraine of the Cuerpo de Hombre paleoglacier. The geometry of the base of the basin and the thickness of sediments that contain were studied together with the relationship of these deposits with the structural elements. Eight bi-dimensional profiles of electrical resistivity tomography were carried out supported by nine vertical electrical sounding logs. Although heterogeneous, the maximum thickness of the deposit infilling the basin is higher than approximately 20 m in some sectors, with three units under the surficial soil. The depression is interpreted as a basin filled with fluvioglaciar and fluviotorrential deposits with episodes of local shallow pond/bog peat sedimentation, La depresión de Navamuño se localiza en el tramo de cabecera del valle del río Cuerpo de Hombre (Sierra de Béjar), que durante el Pleistoceno Superior fue ocupado por un glaciar. Se trata de una cubeta tipo nava con una superficie de ~14 Ha, limitada entre laderas correspondientes a escarpes de línea de falla y la morrena lateral izquierda del paleoglaciar de Cuerpo de Hombre. Para conocer la geometría y el espesor de sedimentos de la cuenca así como sus relaciones con las estructuras y formaciones que la delimitan, se han realizado 9 perfiles de tomografía de resistividad eléctrica (TRE) en dos dimensiones (2D), apoyada en 9 sondeos eléctricos verticales (SEV) y dos sondeos mecánicos. Las interpretaciones sugieren un relleno sedimentario de la cubeta de más de unos 20 m de espesor. Genéticamente se interpreta como una cubeta rellena por sedimentos de origen fluvioglaciar y fluviotorrencial, con episodios de tipo lacustre locales y someros

- Abstract
[EN] The Navamuño depression, located in the high sector of the Cuerpo de Hombre valley (Sierra de Béjar), was partly occupied by a glacier during the Late Pleistocene. The basin is a ~14 Ha pseudoendorheic depression with boundaries defined by fault lineaments and the left lateral moraine of the Cuerpo de Hombre paleoglacier. The geometry of the base of the basin and the thickness of sediments that contain were studied together with the relationship of these deposits with the structural elements. Eight bi-dimensional profiles of electrical resistivity tomography were carried out supported by nine vertical electrical sounding logs. Although heterogeneous, the maximum thickness of the deposit infilling the basin is higher than approximately 20 m in some sectors, with three units under the surficial soil. The depression is interpreted as a basin filled with fluvioglaciar and fluviotorrential deposits with episodes of local shallow pond/bog peat sedimentation., [ES] La depresión de Navamuño se localiza en el tramo de cabecera del valle del río Cuerpo de Hombre (Sierra de Béjar), que durante el Pleistoceno Superior fue ocupado por un glaciar. Se trata de una cubeta tipo nava con una superficie de ~14 Ha, limitada entre laderas correspondientes a escarpes de línea de falla y la morrena lateral izquierda del paleoglaciar de Cuerpo de Hombre. Para conocer la geometría y el espesor de sedimentos de la cuenca así como sus relaciones con las estructuras y formaciones que la delimitan, se han realizado 9 perfiles de tomografía de resistividad eléctrica (TRE) en dos dimensiones (2D), apoyada en 9 sondeos eléctricos verticales (SEV) y dos sondeos mecánicos. Las interpretaciones sugieren un relleno sedimentario de la cubeta de más de unos 20 m de espesor. Genéticamente se interpreta como una cubeta rellena por sedimentos de origen fluvioglaciar y fluviotorrencial, con episodios de tipo lacustre locales y someros.

A new record from a long sediment core (S3) in Navamuño (1505 m asl, western Iberian Central System) provides the reconstruction of the vegetation history and environmental changes in the region between 15.6 and 10.6 ka cal BP, namely during the Late Glacial and the early Holocene, using a multiproxy analysis (pollen-based vegetation and climate reconstruction, sedimentary macrocharcoals, loss-on-ignition, magnetic susceptibility and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements). The results are then compared with other sequences from the Iberian Central System and the whole Iberian Peninsula in order to better understand the past dynamics of the main forest constituents. The pollen record shows a shift from open pine forests ∼15.6–14.7 ka cal BP (Oldest Dryas) to mixed open pine-birch woodlands ∼14.7–14.0 ka cal BP (Bølling). Woodlands were succeeded by a steppe-like landscape until ∼13.4 ka cal BP (Older Dryas), which was replaced again by high-mountain pine forests and riparian woodlands ∼13.4–12.6 ka cal BP (Allerød). A great development of cold steppe grasslands linked to the decline of birch woodlands is documented ∼12.6–11.7 ka cal BP (Younger Dryas). The early Holocene (11.7–10.6 ka cal BP) was characterized by a progressive reforestation of the study area by pine and birch forests in the highlands and oak woods in the lowlands. Temperate tree taxa (Carpinus betulus, Castanea sativa, Corylus avellana, Fraxinus, Juglans, Tilia, and Ulmus) were also common but likely at lower elevations. Pollen of Fagus sylvatica was already recorded during the Late Glacial and the early Holocene. The marked increasing local fire activity during the warmer and wetter Allerød oscillation could be related to a rise in tree cover, supporting the climatically driven character of these fires. Nevertheless, the strong increase in fire activity during the Younger Dryas would probably be related to growing tree and shrub mortality, as well as to the wet/dry biphasic structure of this stadial. The standard “Modern Analogue Technique” has been also applied to the Navamuño sequence to provide quantitative climate estimations for the Late Glacial and the early Holocene periods. This record is one of the few continental archives that show the climatic trend between the Late Glacial and the early Holocene in central Iberia, agreeing with many other regional records from the Western Mediterranean.
