Cerámica cardial en la Rioja Alavesa

[ES] Se trata de dar a conocer el descubrimiento de cerámica impresa de tipo cardial en la Rioja Alavesa. Tales hallazgos se han localizado durante las excavaciones que se están realizando en el Abrigo de Peña Larga en Cripán (Alava) desde el verano de 1985. Las fechas obtenidas para el nivel de donde proceden las referidas cerámicas son: -5830 BC (para la parte superior del nivel). -6150 BC (para la parte baja en la que se encuentran las citadas cerámicas). Esta cronología sitúa el nivel en un Neolítico pleno en consonancia con los niveles cardiales localizados en las últimas décadas en el valle del Ebro.

An assessment of health in post-medieval Ireland: ‘One vast Lazar house filled with famine, disease and death’

Three indicators of health and diet were selected to examine the health status in three socioeconomic groups in post-medieval Ireland. The aim was to examine the reliability of traditional skeletal markers of health in highly contextualised populations. The link between socio-economic status and health was examined to determine if traditional linking of poor health with poverty was evident in skeletal samples. The analysis indicated that this was indeed the case and that health was significantly compromised in populations of low socio-economic status. Thus it indicated that status intimately influences the physical body form. Sex was also found to be a major defining factor in the response of an individual to physiological stress. It was also evident that contemporary populations may suffer from different physiological stresses, and their responses to those stresses may differ. Adaptation was a key factor here. This has implications for studies of earlier populations that may lack detailed contextual data in terms of blanket applications of interpretations. The results also show a decline in health from the medieval through to the post-medieval period, which is intimately linked with the immense social changes and all the related effects of these. The socio-economic structure of post-medieval Ireland was a direct result of the British policies in Ireland. The physical form of the Irish may be seen to have occurred as a result of those policies, with the Irish poor in particular suffering substantial health problems, even in contrast to the poor of Britain. This study has enriched the recorded historical narrative of this period of the recent past, and highlights more nuanced narratives may emerge from the osteoarchaeological analysis when sound contextual information is available. It also examines a period in Irish history that, until very recently, had been virtually untouched in terms of archaeological study.

Un Sistema de prospección arqueológica asistida por SIG libre: diseño, puesta en práctica y perspectivas futuras

Desde 2000 desarrollamos proyectos de prospección arqueológica asistidos por SIG en la comarca de La Serena (Badajoz), con el objetivo principal de comprender la evolución de los paisajes rurales a lo largo de distintos periodos. Uno de los intereses principales de este proyecto es la mejora de los métodos de registro en campo para organizar de una forma rápida y eficaz la gran cantidad de datos de distinto tipo que se obtienen tras una jornada de trabajo. El propio diseño de la prospección arqueológica exige un intercambio de datos constante entre ordenadores y dispositivos móviles, como GPS y PDA, para lo que es necesario un entorno informático que ejecute estas tareas de una forma organizada.
