Portable and Raman imaging usefulness to detect decaying on mortars from Punta Begoña Galleries (Getxo, North of Spain)
(Wiley, 2016-12)
Punta Begoña Galleries were built in 1918 in Getxo (Basque Country, North of Spain) but were abandoned in 1960. Nowadays, their conservation state is very poor. In this work, portable Raman spectroscopy was applied to ...
Historic Urban Landscapes: A Review on Trends and Methodologies in the Urban Context of the 21st Century
(MDPI, 2018-08)
This article makes a critical reflection, questioning the notion of historical urban landscapes as a conceptual paradigm used for the basis of urban conservation in the twenty-first century. The study begins with a brief ...
Landscape Genetics for the Empirical Assessment of Resistance Surfaces: The European Pine Marten (Martes martes) as a Target-Species of a Regional Ecological Network
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-16)
Coherent ecological networks (EN) composed of core areas linked by ecological corridors are being developed worldwide with the goal of promoting landscape connectivity and biodiversity conservation. However, empirical ...
Effect Of Nb And Cu On The Crystallization Behavior Of Understoichiometric Nd–Fe–B Alloys
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2017-01-11)
In this work, we present a complete study of the influence of Nb and Cu addition on the crystallization behavior of Nd-lean Nd-Fe-B melt-spun alloys. Alloys with compositions Nd10-x-yFe84B6NbxCuy (x = 1, y = 0 and x = 0.5, ...
Microwear and isotopic analyses on cave bear remains from Toll Cave reveal both short-term and long-term dietary habits
(Nature Publishing, 2019-04-05)
Dietary habits of the extinct Ursus spelaeus have always been a controversial topic in paleontological studies. In this work, we investigate carbon and nitrogen values in the bone collagen and dental microwear of U. spelaeus ...
The Efficacy of Whole Human Genome Capture on Ancient Dental Calculus and Dentin
(Wiley, 2019-03)
Objectives Dental calculus is among the richest known sources of ancient DNA in the archaeological record. Although most DNA within calculus is microbial, it has been shown to contain sufficient human DNA for the targeted ...
Hydrotalcite and Hydrocalumite in Mortar Binders from the Medieval Castle of Portilla (Álava, North Spain): Accurate Mineralogical Control to Achieve More Reliable Chronological Ages
(MDPI, 2018-08)
Mortars from different stratigraphic units at Portilla Castle (Alava, North Spain) have been analyzed for mineralogical characterization before radiocarbon dating. The mortar binder at Portilla Castle is composed not only ...

Combining Small-Vertebrate, Marine and Stable-Isotope Data to Reconstruct Past Environments
(Nature, 2015)
Three very different records are combined here to reconstruct the evolution of environments in
the Cantabrian Region during the Upper Pleistocene, covering ~35.000 years. Two of these records
come from Antoliñako Koba ...
