Acercamiento multidisciplinar a los grupos de cazadores-recolectores del abrigo de la Viña (Asturias) durante el Solutrense y Magdaleniense (21.000-13.000 BP)reconstrucción paleoeconómica y paleoambiental.

Resum

During the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 - 19,000 cal BP) and the Late Glacial (16,000 - 11,000 cal BP), human groups from the Cantabrian region faced harsh climatic conditions to survive. To understand how these human adaptations and their environmental exploitation strategies were, this doctoral thesis aims to evaluate the palaeoeconomic behaviour of hunter-gatherer societies from the Solutrean and Magdalenian and to reconstruct the local palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic conditions of western Cantabrian region. For this purpose, the study of macromammal remains from La Viña rock shelter (Asturias) is approached from an innovative perspective that integrates the use of fully established methodologies, such as zooarchaeology and taphonomy, with techniques from biomolecular archaeology (Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry or ZooMS) and biogeochemistry (stable isotopes), as well as Bayesian modelling of radiocarbon dates.
