This finding sheds new light on the agricultural practices and subsistence strategies of pre-Hispanic communities in Gran Canaria. Excited to share these results! 🔎✨

More than storage: A functional analysis of the lithic industry associated with the C008 cave complex at Bentayga, Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) Although volcanic rocks are commonly found in many assemblages, functional or use-wear studies focusing on these materials are still relatively limite…

📢 Our latest article is out!

We present the first direct evidence of cereal harvesting during the Indigenous period of the Canary Islands, identified through use-wear analysis of lithic tools from the C008 granary at Roque Bentayga 🌾🪨

📺Hoy La Revuelta de @rtvecom.bsky.social ha entrevistado a Ignacio de la Torre, investigador en el CCHS-CSIC

🦴Su equipo del #CSIC lidera el estudio que ha descubierto nuevos hallazgos de que ya se producían herramientas de hueso de manera habitual hace 1,5 millones de años

Amazing work‼️ Congratulations ✨☺️

✨💡 Shining light on dark matter… but plot twist: it’s about obsidian, not astrophysics! Thanks to confocal microscopy and 3D texture analysis, we are unlocking the hidden stories of use-wear on experimental obsidian tools 🧐🔬

Bravo!!! 👏🏻

New #OpenAccess paper: when did cereal agriculture adopt low harvesting?🧐 Our study traces the shift from high to low cereal cutting between 11,000 and 6,000 cal BC in SW Asia—a gradual yet transformative process that shaped the Mediterranean #agriculture 🌾🔬 #archaeology #usewear #confocal @csic.es

New Paper out 🚨🚨Can archaeoentomology help to understand funerary practices in the past? Can archaeology serve as an indicator of the species decomposing a corpse in different bioclimatic regions prior to early modern globalization? @ulpgc.es @pacea.bsky.social
