Subsistence strategies during the Gravettian in the rock shelter of La Viña (Asturias, N Spain)

The rock shelter of La Viña, located on the northern Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, contains a rich archaeological sequence dated from the Mousterian to the Magdalenian. This site preserves an extended Gravettian occupation where a diversified assemblage of fauna, lithic and bone tools has...

This site preserves an extended Gravettian occupation where a diversified assemblage of fauna, lithic and bone tools has been attested. In this paper, we undertake the archaeozoological and taphonomic study of the macromammals found in the Gravettian levels X and IX of the Western Sector, recovered during the campaigns directed by Fortea between 1987 and 1992. The taphonomy indicates a high presence of fire-altered bone elements and butchery marks related to ungulate skinning and disarticulation activities, with a low presence of carnivore modifications, being 'Cervus elaphus', followed by 'Rupicapra rupicapra' and 'Capra pyrenaica' the most common taxa, therefore confirming the anthropogenic origin of the bone assemblage. Given the high fragmentation of the infantile remains identified, a biomolecular study by Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) was carried out to increase the taxonomic data and unravel the hunting strategies and site seasonality. Proteomic results revealed a high presence of newborn red deer and ibex, thus suggesting females herd captures during late spring/early summer.This research is funded by the European Research Council, under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement No. 818299-SUBSILIENCE ERC CoG project https:// www.subsilience.eu) and Spanish Ministry of Science (HAR2017- 84997-P, HAR2012-33956 and PGC2018-100010-B-I00) and Government of Cantabria - Department of Universities, Equality, Culture and Sports 2022-2023.Universidad de Cantabria20232023-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/10902/32427Quaternary Science Advances, 2023, 12, 100113reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)InglésengEuropean Commission http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100000780 Horizon 2020 Framework Programme 818299open accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositorio.unican.es:10902/324272026-06-02T12:39:31Z
