“…Este emprendimiento científico de alto nivel e impacto latinoamericano 89 representa un espacio para mitigar parte de la problemática enunciada en el caso de Cuenca por Segarra (2016), es decir, las deficiencias en gestión de la información que se extienden con notoriedad. Permite también mejorar los sistemas de intercambio y la realización de estudios comparativos (Gilabert & Mora 2014); pero, sobre todo, emprender acciones pioneras de conocimiento y documentación de las características intrínsecas de la cultura material asociada a la arquitectura patrimonial y de todo material que atestigüe el legado histórico.…”

“…Esta situación también se avista en la construcción de obras civiles petroleras(Vélez 2012: 17) para caracterizar el escenario de la producción arqueológica, así como el perfil profesional operante.En el caso que ataña, la información generada supone un repertorio capaz de integrarse a la base de datos del Proyecto Arcal del cual el Ecuador es miembro desde 2007. Esta acción representa una motivación para mitigar un segmento pequeño de la problemática enunciada por Segarra (2016) sobre las deficiencias en gestión de la información, así como mejorar los sistemas de intercambio y la realización de estudios comparativos(Gilabert & Mora 2014); incluso solventar el estudio del 80% de los tiestos recuperados entre 2008 y 2010(Idrovo 2012: 28) y, del material arquitectónico constructivo y/o decorativo almacenado. Casos concretos como el edificio del Pasaje León, sobre cuyo material subterráneo Idrovo (2008a) indica la complejidad de abordarlo en campo, supone un escenario analítico ideal.…”

Beyond Shapes: Core Reduction Strategies in the Magdalenian of Cova Gran de Santa Linya (NE Iberia)

Core reduction provides insight into the technical actions involved in knapping sequences, one of the central elements in technological analysis. By examining reduction phases, cognitive and operational aspects of the management of lithic resources can be explored, and the technical behaviours of human groups reconstructed.This paper presents a technological and morphometric analysis of cores from the Magdalenian sequence of the Cova Gran de Santa Linya (SE Pyrenees), which ranges from 23 to 16 k cal BP. The knapping strategies suggest two types of lithic exploitation: one on nodules using semi-circumferential methods and the other on thick flakes using burin-core methods. Five knapping modalities were identified through the study of reduction sequences and the analysis of technical attributes, which highlights the technical diversity of lithic production systems.The data collected are supported by statistical analysis and reveal significant differences at the diachronic level and among the lithic assemblages. This study aims to suggest a reference model with which to characterise Magdalenian cores in technological terms. This model can broaden our understanding of the diversity of technical behaviours that appear from the beginning of LGM-b to the end of MIS 2 in the north-eastern Iberian Peninsula.

MNK Skull is one of the most significant archaeological sites in Olduvai Gorge, particularly due to the previous discovery of human fossils referred to in the paper where the Homo habilis taxon was originally defined. An important archaeological assemblage is contained in the same horizon as the hominin fossils, constituting the last evidence of both Homo habilis remains and handaxe-free tool kits in the Olduvai Gorge sequence. Our excavations at the site are the first to be conducted since the original work in the 1960s, and sought to refine the archaeological context wherein the Homo habilis remains were discovered. Chronostratigraphic results place the MNK Skull sequence in Middle Bed II prior to deposition of Tuff IIB. The assemblage was deposited near the shoreline, as Palaeolake Olduvai withdrew into the basinal depocentre, and fossils and stone tools were subjected to significant postdepositional processes. The assemblage was affected by mudflow deposits that buried and preserved the assemblage but also entrained surficial bone and lithic elements into the flow. Rather than an occupation site as originally interpreted, the assemblage is better understood as a background deposit, possibly accumulated on an unconformity surface over a long period of time. The stone tool assemblage is typical of the Oldowan, with no technological elements announcing the appearance of the Acheulean, which is well attested to across the Olduvai sequence in post-Tuff IIB times. Our results highlight that, with an approximate age of circa 1.67 Ma, MNK Skull stands as a key site to understand the late Oldowan and the disappearance of Homo habilis in East Africa.
