    Geometric Morphometrics and Machine Learning Models Applied to the Study of Late Iron Age Cut Marks from Central Spain
    (Applied Sciences, 2023) Maté-González, Miguel Ángel; Aramendi Picado, Julia; Sáez Blázquez, Cristina; Rodríguez-Hernández, Jesús; Álvarez Sanchís, Jesús Rafael; Estaca Gómez, Verónica; Ruiz Zapatero, Gonzalo; Yravedra Sainz De Los Terreros, José
    Recently the incorporation of artificial intelligence has allowed the development of valuable methodological advances in taphonomy. Some studies have achieved great precision in identifying the carnivore that produced tooth marks. Additionally, other works focused on human activity have managed to specify what type of tool or raw material was used in the filleting processes identified at the sites. Through the use of geometric morphometrics and machine learning techniques, the present study intends to analyze the cut marks of the Ulaca oppidum (Solosancho, Ávila, Spain) in order to identify the type of tools used during carcass modification. Although the Ulaca oppidum is an Iron Age site, the results suggest that most of the cut marks were produced with flint tools.

    Ancient Sites and Modern People: Raising Awareness of Iron Age Heritage in Central Spain
    (Heritage, 2023) Rodríguez-Hernández, Jesús; Maté-González, Miguel Ángel; Fernández-Barrientos, M. Sheila; Ruiz Zapatero, Gonzalo; Díaz Sánchez, Carlos; Álvarez Sanchís, Jesús Rafael
    In the last 30 years, considerable effort has been invested in the public presentation of archaeological sites and, in general, in the dissemination of the heritage bequeathed to us by the pre-Roman communities of the western Iberian Peninsula. In this paper, we critically analyse the most outstanding measures implemented in this area by the different administrations and specialists involved. Similarly, we present the main initiatives undertaken in this regard in recent years by our research team within the framework of the REFIT and VETTONIA projects. Finally, we put forward ten essential proposals for future actions to achieve a more effective dissemination and management of Iron Age heritage.

    Zooarchaeology of the Iron Age in Western Iberia: new insights from the Celtic oppidum of Ulaca
    (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2022) Estaca Gómez, Verónica; Rodríguez Hernández, Jesús; Gómez Hernández, Raúl; Yravedra Sainz De Los Terreros, José; Ruiz Zapatero, Gonzalo; Álvarez Sanchís, Jesús Rafael
    The Vettones were one of the most important Celtic peoples of the Late Iron Age in Western Iberia (between the Duero and Tagus Rivers). It is a period recognised from the spread of the cremation ritual in the cemeteries, the development of iron metallurgy, and the emergence of large fortified settlements—the characteristic oppida—that would finally be abandoned with the conquest of Hispania by Rome. Different types of evidence suggest that the Vetton economy was based on livestock. Palaeobotanical and carpological analyses reveal a major deforestation of the landscape, the conversion of large areas into pastures and cultivated fields, and the use of enclosures as cattle pens. The stone sculptures of bulls and pigs found throughout the mountainous areas of the region—the famous verracos—also reflect the value the Vettones placed on livestock. However, there have been very few studies devoted to the identification of faunal remains. In this text, we offer previously unpublished data on the animals found in the oppidum of Ulaca (Solosancho, Ávila, Spain), one of the largest in Celtic Iberia (third–first centuries BC), which we relate to other evidence from neighbouring sites. Thus, the state of the research into Vetton zooarchaeology is offered in the broader context of the Iberian Peninsula.
