The Cantabrian Region of Northern Spain was an important refugium during the harsh conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum, when ice sheets covered much of Northern Europe and populations were pushed further south. Late Upper populations in the Cantabrian region thrived at this time, and there is an increase in the density of archaeological sites is seen, in addition to cultural changes such as the creation of rich cave art assemblages. Understanding the climatic and environmental conditions...
Proposed reconstruction of Palaeoenvironmental dynamics in the region of Naachtun (Péten, Guatemala) during the late Holocene: contribution of several Bioindicators in a multi‐proxy study. (2016)
The city of Naachtun was an important maya Center in Southern Lowland (Guatemala). It was occupied from the early Classic (250 AD) to the end of Late Classic period (950 AD). Its inhabitants developed agriculture and a water management, as attested by geo‐archaeological evidences (palaeo‐soils, terraces, water reservoirs and canal). Our study focuses on the palaeoenvironments in and around Naachtun during the last 3500 years. We develop a multi‐proxy approach based on bioindicators study to...
