Item 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, JoséRecently 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.Item 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 RafaelIn 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.
