This finding sheds new light on the agricultural practices and subsistence strategies of pre-Hispanic communities in Gran Canaria. Excited to share these results! 🔎✨
📢 Our latest article is out!
We present the first direct evidence of cereal harvesting during the Indigenous period of the Canary Islands, identified through use-wear analysis of lithic tools from the C008 granary at Roque Bentayga 🌾🪨

📺Hoy La Revuelta de @rtvecom.bsky.social ha entrevistado a Ignacio de la Torre, investigador en el CCHS-CSIC
🦴Su equipo del #CSIC lidera el estudio que ha descubierto nuevos hallazgos de que ya se producían herramientas de hueso de manera habitual hace 1,5 millones de años

Amazing work‼️ Congratulations ✨☺️
✨💡 Shining light on dark matter… but plot twist: it’s about obsidian, not astrophysics! Thanks to confocal microscopy and 3D texture analysis, we are unlocking the hidden stories of use-wear on experimental obsidian tools 🧐🔬
👀 Have a look here #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.1...
You still have time to submit your contribution! 🤩
Deadline extended to February 10th 🔴
We look forward to seeing you! 🪨🔬

New Paper out 🚨🚨Can archaeoentomology help to understand funerary practices in the past? Can archaeology serve as an indicator of the species decomposing a corpse in different bioclimatic regions prior to early modern globalization? @ulpgc.es @pacea.bsky.social
