“…En un trabajo reciente publicamos el detalle de las fechas radiocarbónicas obtenidas sobre una selección de muestras procedentes de las intervenciones de Pericot y una propuesta de modelización cronológica bayesiana a partir de la información de la secuencia arqueológica y las dataciones (García Puchol et al 2018). En el año 2018 (Pardo-Gordó et al 2018) se han dado a conocer las fechas obtenidas sobre una selección de muestras de la intervención efectuada por Fortea (fig.…”

“…Our dataset offers a great potential to explore the Neolithic Transition in the Iberian Peninsula. On one hand, its information can be used to explore chronological transition applying bayesian methods an intra-site or regional analysis [12,14]. On the other hand, the information can be used to explore the neolithisation phenomenon based on radiocarbon maps distribution or demographic trends [15,16,20].…”

“…In this sense, some results of the project have been published on evolutionary approaches related to lithics and pottery [10,11]. Also, Bayesian and geostatistics analyses on the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition at intra-site or regional scale [12][13][14] and demographic trends according to settlements distributions and summed probability distribution of calibrated radiocarbon dates have been published [15,16].…”

In this paper, we describe the radiocarbon dataset compiled in the context of the project HAR2015-68962 EVOLPAST: Dinámicas evolutivas y patrones de variabilidad cultural de los últimos cazadores-recolectores y el primer Neolítico en el este peninsular (7000-4500 cal. BC) funded by the Spanish government. The dataset offers the most complete and public radiocarbon dataset focus on the Neolithic Transition in the Iberian Peninsula.

“…Regionally, the early Mesolithic is represented by burials and associated artifacts recovered from El Collado (Garcia Guix e et al, 2006;Gibaja et al, 2015). Important late Mesolithic sites identified throughout the region include Abric de la Falguera (García Puchol and Aura Tortosa, 2006) and Cueva de la Cocina (Fortea Perez, 1971;García Puchol et al, 2009;García Puchol et al, 2017).…”

“…The primary objective of the Canal de Navarr es archaeological survey is to establish the chronology and intensity of human landuse throughout the valley so we may better understand the changing interaction between social and ecological systems (García Puchol et al, 2014;Diez Castillo et al, 2016). Second, we aim to adapt innovative strategies and analytical techniques to deal with the difficulties of systematic archaeological survey in Mediterranean Basin.…”

Keywords:Off-site methods Bayesian methods Digital data collection Mediterranean basin Spain Patch-based survey a b s t r a c t In landscapes whose surface has been modified by terracing and other agricultural land-use, the spatial and temporal patterning of prehistoric settlement can be difficult to detect using traditional, siteorientated archaeological survey methods, especially for small-scale societies. In these contexts, methods that can reveal occupational patterns at landscape scales, without the need to pinpoint specific sites of human occupation, can be especially useful. We employ a stratified, randomly selected patchbased survey strategy to examine socio-ecological dynamics from the Middle Paleolithic through Bell Beaker (Chalcolithic) periods within the Canal de Navarr es, eastern Spain. We divide the study region into survey strata according to differences in topography and vegetation communities and use a random selection of demarcated, terraced fields as data collection patches. All survey data is digitally recorded using tablets in the field, creating a streamlined and more accurate workflow, where observations of artifacts, soils, ground visibility, and photographs are georeferenced and ready for analysis in a GIS. Surface artifact densities, estimated from sampled patches, are used to generate prehistoric land-use maps and empirical Bayesian methods allow us to track shifts in occupational patterns through time. Regional reference collections of well-dated lithic artifacts provide the "prior knowledge" required to make estimates of the probability of prehistoric occupation in each sampled patch. This combination of field and analytical methods makes possible the study of regional-scale land-use dynamics in agriculturally modified landscapes.
