“…Peninsula localities: Villarquemado (Aranbarri et al, 2014), Navarrés (Carrión and van Geel, 1999) and Siles (Carrión, 2002). The location of these sites and the climatological region to which they belong are shown in Coprophilous taxa, as well as of NPP markers of eutrophication, fire and erosive processes, with the coprostanol/24-ethylcopostanol index indicative of fecal pollution (Ortiz et al, 2022) and anthropogenic Pb (Ortiz et al, 2021) along the Cartagena record.

“…We chose this section (E1) as, in spite of a strong anthropic influence during this period, the E1 record remained almost undisturbed, although with human influence. The anthropic influence was previously interpreted in this area through the presence of metal-polluted beds attesting metallurgical activity (Ortiz et al, 2021(Ortiz et al, , 2022, formerly detected in cores from El Almarjal marsh (Manteca et al, 2017). In the present study, we focused on the sedimentological characteristics.…”

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.

Se presentan algunos resultados publicados de campañas de datación por racemización de aminoácidos (AAR) del Laboratorio de Estratigrafía Biomolecular (LEB) de la Escuela de Minas y Energía de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, en localidades de la Península Ibérica, que se han seleccionado para mostrar la aplicabilidad del método a muestras de origen biológico muy diverso, foraminíferos, moluscos, crustáceos y mamíferos de diferentes medios geológicos: largos registros de cuenca, terrazas marinas y fluviales, depósitos eólicos y yacimientos en cuevas. Obviamente, no se citan dataciones singulares en muchas localidades. Cerca de veinte mil análisis validan el uso de este método. El método cubre un amplio rango temporal: desde subactual hasta 1.3 Ma; junto con la pequeña cantidad de muestra precisa para los análisis, permite replicar los mismos incluso sobre muestras valiosas de museos u otras instituciones. Asimismo, se puede emplear en determinaciones forenses. Cabe destacar que la pequeña cantidad de muestra necesaria para la realización de un análisis permite emplear un número representativo de muestras de cada nivel objeto de estudio, obteniendo información suficiente para que, mediante un análisis estadístico elemental, se puedan desechar valores anómalos.
