The distribution and timing of the extinctions of the wild species and arrival of the domestic species is important to understand the changing environment and cultures through this dynamic period in one of the three southern Pleistocene glacial refugia in Europe. Here we collected data from all zooarchaeological studies that meet basic completeness criteria from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze Age (45–3.2 ka BP) and analysed the equine data in light of other large mammals at the same sites in order to document the species turnover and distributions through this culturally and ecologically dynamic period. The vast majority of Palaeolithic Equus were confidently identified as E. ferus, and by the Bronze age as E. caballus, with much uncertainty in between. Over time the larger equids (horses) were much more common than the smaller equids (asses). Equids were not common, but they were distributed across the southern Iberian peninsula through the Chalcolithic, and then appear to have become restricted to the drier eastern region in the Bronze Age. These analyses indicate that both E. ferus and E. hydruntinus went extinct by the end of the Pleistocene/ Palaeolithic in Andalucia. Not all communities maintained equal numbers of equids, and their distribution changed with the changing climate through time, most notably between the Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age when confidence in species identification and local density of horses increase, but the distribution is restricted to the drier eastern region.

Estudio transdisciplinar del altar fenicio de Caura (Coria del Río, Sevilla) Autor : Bernáldez Sánchez, Eloísa; García-Viñas, Esteban; Gamero Esteban , Miguel; Borja Barrera, Francisco; Borja, César; Recio Espejo, José Manuel; Granados Trillo, Cristina; Royo García, María A.; Ubera Jiménez, Jose Luis; Aliaga Ruiz, Enrique Silvino Junior; Ocaña García de Veas, Aurora; Escacena Carrasco, José Luis Resumen: Las excelentes condiciones de conservación del altar del siglo VII a.C., encontrado en 1997 en el santuario protohistórico de Caura (Cerro de San Juan, Coria del Río, Sevilla), aconsejaron su extracción en bloque para su exposición en el Museo Arqueológico de Sevilla. No obstante, previamente a su puesta en valor, desde el Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico de la Junta de Andalucía se procedió a la restauración del ara. Para aliviar su peso se llevó a cabo un vaciado parcial de la pieza mediante un proceso de microexcavación de la misma. El material obtenido por este procedimiento fue sometido a análisis geológicos, arqueobotánicos y arqueozoológicos, con el objeto tanto de determinar el origen, la naturaleza y la disposición de los materiales de construcción de la pieza ritual, como de interpretar su entorno natural, ayudando así a clarificar los planteamientos realizados inicialmente por arqueólogos e historiadores. Los resultados de los distintos análisis coinciden en el uso de sustratos limpios para la construcción del altar, corroborando la hipótesis histórica de partida y proporcionando información paleoambiental.

The case of Saruq al-Hadid (UAE) Autor : Bernáldez Sánchez, Eloísa; Lancha, Janine; Seco Álvarez, Miriam; Ramos-Soldado, José Luis; Radwan, Mansour Boraik; Youssef, Ya'aqub; Dantas Cayuela, Javier; Ferrer Albelda, Eduardo Editor Científico: Costa, Cláudia Resumen: The authors present the results of the archaeozoological studies of the 2019–2020 archaeological field seasons conducted in Saruq al-Hadid (Dubai, UAE) by the University of Seville and the Andalusian Institute of Historic Heritage (Instituto Andaluz del Patrimonio Histórico, IAPH). We analyzed two large assemblages of animal bone remains and, through the archaeozoological analysis, observed differences between two cultural and taphonomical contexts at the site. In the oldest levels—dated between the Bronze Age and Iron Age I—hunted animals predominate, while data from the Iron II period show a higher frequency of domesticated species. These differences suggest a change in the use of the environment, related to changes in the culture and/or the climate, as well as the human activity that originated each deposit.
