“…The fauna may be correlated with European faunistic associations of the end of the Middle Pleistocene to the beginning of the Upper Pleistocene. The Cueva del Angel lithic assemblage (dominated by non-modified flakes and abundant retouched tools with the presence of 46 handaxes) appears to fit well within the regional diversity of a well developed non-Levallois final Acheulean industry (Barroso Ruíz et al, 2011).…”

AbstrakFosil tulang dan gigi merupakan temuan yang biasanya ditemukan dalam penelitian arkeologi. Di beberapa tempat temuan tulang yang memiliki jejak potong oleh aktifitas manusia memberikan informasi yang sahih akan keberadaan manusia, oleh karena itu tulang dan gigi merupakan objek yang sangat tepat untuk dilakukan pengujian umur pada lapisan arkeologi. Pada penanggalan geokronologi, penggabungan dua metode seperti ESR/U-series semakin sering digunakan tiga dekade belakangan ini. Metode ini dapat digunakan di situs yang memiliki konteks geologi berbeda -beda (fluvial, lacustrine atau karstic) dalam rentang waktu 300.000 -20.000.000 tahun yang lalu. Selain itu metode ini dapat diaplikasikan tidak hanya untuk gigi fauna namun dapat diaplikasikan juga untuk gigi hominid. Akan tetapi untuk menggunakan metode ini diperlukan beberapa tahapan yang harus dilakukan. Dalam artikel ini akan dijelaskan mengenai tahapan yang harus dilakukan sebelum sampel tersebut siap untuk dihitung umurnya, mengingat masih sedikit tulisan yang menyinggung mengenai proses persiapan tersebut secara terperinci. AbstractFossil bones and teeth are findings that are usually found in archeological research. In some places where bone findings have traces of human activities, provide valid information about human existence, therefore bones and teeth are very appropriate objects for age testing at the archeological layer. In geochronological dating, the merger of two methods such as the ESR and U-series is increasingly being used in the past three decades for dating. This method can be used on sites that have different geological contexts (fluvial, lacustrine or karstic) in the span of 300.000 -20.000.000 years ago. Besides, this method can be applied not only for fauna teeth but can also be applied to hominid teeth. However, to use this method several steps must be taken. In this article we will explain the steps that must be taken before the sample is ready to be calculated for its age, considering that there are still a few writings that pertain to the preparation process in detail.

“…With a first citation as Ursus cf. arctos at the site of Gran Dolina 11 at Atapuerca [109], it is also found at the Middle/Late Pleistocene sites (MIS 11 to MIS 5) of Cueva del Ángel [110] and Valdegoba [111]. During the Late Pleistocene, it shows a broad distribution, occupying practically the whole of the Iberian Peninsula [86], [87], [112].…”

Bone Accumulation by Leopards in the Late Pleistocene in the Moncayo Massif (Zaragoza, NE Spain)

et al. 2014

Eating habits of Panthera pardus are well known. When there are caves in its territory, prey accumulates inside them. This helps to prevent its kill from being stolen by other predators like hyenas. Although the leopard is an accumulator of bones in caves, few studies have been conducted on existing lairs. There are, however, examples of fossil vertebrate sites whose main collecting agent is the leopard. During the Late Pleistocene, the leopard was a common carnivore in European faunal associations. Here we present a new locality of Quaternary mammals with a scarce human presence, the cave of Los Rincones (province of Zaragoza, Spain); we show the leopard to be the main accumulator of the bones in the cave, while there are no interactions between humans and leopards. For this purpose, a taphonomic analysis is performed on different bone-layers of the cave.

“…11). Cut-marks on ursid bones were scarce but already observed in Isernia la Pineta (Thun Hohenstein et al, 2009), in Cueva Del Angel (Barroso et al, 2010) or in Biache-Saint-Vaast (Auguste, 1995) sites. Upper canines of wild boar were clearly broken, as observed in Terra-Amata site (Valensi et al, 2013) in Cueva de Angel or in Orgnac 3 .…”
