“…Estimated stature from this femur (160.4 cm) was shorter than most of the Bronze Age males but taller than, though within the range of variation, of most other Bronze Age females from the Iberian Peninsula (Supplementary Table S8). The body mass estimate for the Atxuri-I individual (53.1 kg) is below that of the Bronze Age male comparative samples (Martin-Flórez, 2010;Nájera, 2010Nájera, , 2012Ruff and Garvin, 2018), but similar to that of the female comparative samples (52 kg) (Supplementary Table S8).…”

“…This study underscores the necessity to combine paleobiological studies with systematic radiocarbon dating before attempting other analyses such isotopic analysis or ancient DNA due to the long chronologies in which caves were used for funerary purposes in the Atlantic Western Pyrenees.

“…For the biomechanical study, comparative samples from the Iberian Peninsula, France and Italy were used (Holt et al, 2018a;Ruff and Garvin, 2018). Additionally, a sample dating to the 7 th -8 th century AD from the Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac commune, near the Gironde estuary (Nouvelle Aquitaine, France: Cartron and Castex, 2006, Deguilloux et al, 2014d'Incau et al, 2015), was also analysed for this study.…”

Neolithic farming and animal husbandry were first developed in the Near East ~ 10,000 BCE and expanded westwards, reaching westernmost Iberia no later than 5500 BCE. It resulted in major social, cultural, economic and dietary changes. Yet, the impact of this change on human mandibular morphology in Iberia is yet to be assessed, which is regrettable because mandible form is impacted by population history and diet. In this study we used Mesolithic to Chalcolithic Iberian samples to examine the impact of this transition on mandibular morphology. We also compared these samples with a Southern Levantine Chalcolithic population to assess their relationship. Lastly, we assessed dental wear to determine if the morphological differences identified were related to the material properties of the diet. We found differences between samples in mandibular shape but not size, which we attribute to contrasting population histories between Mesolithic and later populations. Some differences in the severity of dental wear were also found between Mesolithic and later Iberian samples, and smaller between the Mesolithic Iberians and southern Levantines. Little relationship was found between wear magnitude and mandibular shape. Altogether, our results show that the Mesolithic–Neolithic Iberian transition resulted in a meaningful change in mandibular morphology, which was likely driven more by population history than by dietary change.
