“…On the other, and coinciding with the 8.5 ka BP and 8.2 ka BP climate events, there may have been a crisis period. In the first case, the agency models for developing this complexity could have emerged, and, from 6550 cal BC to 8500 cal BP, the management or crisis models (Arnold, 1993;Wiessner, 2002;Prentiss et al, 2007), as has recently been suggested (García-Martínez de Lagr an, 2008).…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper presents the results of the first excavation campaign of the Artusia rock shelter in Unzu e, Navarre, Spain. Chronocultural and archaeobiological analyses revealed five different occupation phases (Artusia IeV) within the regional Mesolithic timeline, specifically in the Mesolithic of Notches and Denticulates (Artusia I and II) and the Geometric Mesolithic (Artusia III, IV, and V). In addition, the study of the sedimentological and palaeoenvironmental evolution in the entire record helped to clearly define several climatic events which developed around 6550 cal BCe8500 cal BP and 6250 cal BCe8200 cal BP. Here, we present a description of these events and their (pre)historical interpretation with the aim of recognizing how they influenced the Mesolithic hunteregatherer groups living in the Ebro Basin of the Iberian Peninsula.© 2015 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA. All rights reserved.Lydia Zapata, in memoriam IntroductionIn recent decades, the study of the Mesolithic in the Iberian Ebro Valley has focused mainly on the definition of different phases in accordance with the lithic industry as well as on the publication of several time series. Questions relating to subsistence and environment have also been addressed which results suggest an intense, planned and diversified type of exploitation and economy. The publication of a variety of monographs on particular sites (Barandiar an-Maestu, 1978 However, aspects related to palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental changes and their influence on the historical evolution of Mesolithic groups have only been tackled in recent years (Gonz alez-Samp eriz et al., 2008García-Martínez de Lagr an, 2012).

This archaeological site was discovered in 1996, and the preservation problems that this rock shelter faces due to the erosion derived by the Artusia stream are highlighted. Artusia is located, as are many other Mesolithic rock shelters from the southern Pyrenean slope, on a rock face, to which morphology refers its name in Basque (Arluxea ¼ long crag). It is located at the southern slope of a narrow pass that the Artusia stream excavated between the Alaiz Mountains on the north, and the Unzu e Crag on the south (Fig. 1). The rock shelter is filled by a stratigraphic package cut lengthwise by the stream that exposes the different archaeological levels which form most of the sequence (Figs. 2 and 3).The area where Artusia is situated represents the geological, climatic, floristic and politico-administrative border between the pre-Pyrenean Pamplona ...

There are regional differences in how archaeologists conduct their research on the Archaic period. The rich array of techniques and approaches used to examine this period in the West include human behavioral ecology and other evolutionary perspectives, technological style and aspects of practice theory, neuropsychological theory, and more. Recent research in the Great Basin, Southwest, Great Plains, Columbia-Fraser Plateau, and coastal California is surveyed to highlight commonalities and differences in the questions asked of the archaeological data and in the techniques that are used.
