“…Archaeological data has evidenced significant changes in the productive strategies of some islands around the 11 th - 12 th centuries [ 12 , 76 , 104 – 106 ]. In fact, recent data indicates probable population growth in Gran Canaria at that time, suggesting the appearance of new settlements associated with an exploitation model that intensified the use of marine resources, the increase in the size of settlements linked to agricultural nuclei, and changes in the production of some craftsmanships [ 12 , 107 , 108 ]. These changes have been interpreted as part of an endogenous process, as it has been determined that this population growth involved neither significant changes in the structure of human settlements or burials, nor introduced differences in land management or the types of domestic species that were exploited.…”

Mitogenomes illuminate the origin and migration patterns of the indigenous people of the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands’ indigenous people have been the subject of substantial archaeological, anthropological, linguistic and genetic research pointing to a most probable North African Berber source. However, neither agreement about the exact point of origin nor a model for the indigenous colonization of the islands has been established. To shed light on these questions, we analyzed 48 ancient mitogenomes from 25 archaeological sites from the seven main islands. Most lineages observed in the ancient samples have a Mediterranean distribution, and belong to lineages associated with the Neolithic expansion in the Near East and Europe (T2c, J2a, X3a…). This phylogeographic analysis of Canarian ancient mitogenomes, the first of its kind, shows that some lineages are restricted to Central North Africa (H1cf, J2a2d and T2c1d3), while others have a wider distribution, including both West and Central North Africa, and, in some cases, Europe and the Near East (U6a1a1, U6a7a1, U6b, X3a, U6c1). In addition, we identify four new Canarian-specific lineages (H1e1a9, H4a1e, J2a2d1a and L3b1a12) whose coalescence dates correlate with the estimated time for the colonization of the islands (1st millennia CE). Additionally, we observe an asymmetrical distribution of mtDNA haplogroups in the ancient population, with certain haplogroups appearing more frequently in the islands closer to the continent. This reinforces results based on modern mtDNA and Y-chromosome data, and archaeological evidence suggesting the existence of two distinct migrations. Comparisons between insular populations show that some populations had high genetic diversity, while others were probably affected by genetic drift and/or bottlenecks. In spite of observing interinsular differences in the survival of indigenous lineages, modern populations, with the sole exception of La Gomera, are homogenous across the islands, supporting the theory of extensive human mobility after the European conquest.

“…Así, se registra un aumento acusado a partir de aproximadamente del 850-800 BP (1050-1100 d.C.) que se prolonga prácticamente hasta el 625 BP (1325 d.C.). En este marco temporal, considerando otros datos arqueológicos, se aprecian cambios significativos en el patrón de ocupación del territorio con respecto al modelo previo, el surgimiento de nuevos asentamientos, una sensi-ble intensificación de la actividad agrícola y de la explotación de los recursos marinos, el incremento de las huellas de violencia física, pero también de la violencia simbólica, acentuación de la asimetría social, así como la incorporación al registro arqueológico insular de ciertos elementos materiales que aparentemente no estaban presentes en momentos anteriores (Delgado, 2009;Morales, 2010;Rodríguez et al, 2012;del Pino et al, 2016;del Pino y Rodríguez, 2017;Henríquez et al, 2019;etc.). Además, la curva sugiere una dinámica social particular y acotada en el tiempo, en cuya configuración podría sumarse un nuevo episodio de llegada de población portadora de novedades culturales, entre las que se incluyen ciertas fórmulas sepulcrales (cistas y fosas; Fig.…”

Este trabajo aborda el estudio de la dinámica poblacional y demográfica de la ocupación prehispánica de Gran Canaria. Para ello se ha recurrido al análisis de la distribución del sumatorio de probabilidad de las dataciones radiocarbónicas procedentes, en este caso, de contextos funerarios. Los resultados obtenidos se compararon con dos modelos teóricos nulos de crecimiento poblacional, tratando de explicarlos teniendo en cuenta la información arqueológica disponible, en relación con los cambios diacrónicos registrados en las fórmulas sepulcrales indígenas, así como a partir de las variaciones detectadas en la ocupación del territorio a lo largo de todo el poblamiento insular. Para precisar el marco temporal sujeto a examen, se llevó a cabo un análisis estadístico formal estimativo del intervalo de confianza para establecer la fecha de poblamiento más temprana de Gran Canaria. Se contribuye también de este modo al renovado debate sobre las fechas de los primeros establecimientos permanentes de población en el Archipiélago. Todo ello ha facilitado una propuesta de marco temporal y social desde el que explicar las particularidades de un proceso de poblamiento insular complejo en el que confluyen dinámicas internas y externas
