Hunting, butchering, carrying and sharing
along the Gran Dolina sequence
The ancient origin of the modern subsistence dynamics
RODRÍGUEZ-HIDALGO, SALADIÉ, ARSUAGA, BERMÚDEZ DE CASTRO & CARBONELL
Gradual Evolution from
obligate scavengers…
…to AMH as Top of the
Evolutionary Process as
Prominent Hunters
Figure from Espigares et al. 2013 QI
Sorry Sir, I'm skillful
hunter and wooden-
spear maker
Yes, my
friend and me
too!
OMG,

Rodríguez-Hidalgo et al. eshe 2016 hunting

Notas del editor

  1. Traditionally , the subsistence of hunter-gatherers has been interpreted in terms of gradual evolution. Thus, the oldest human species have been presented as passive actors, opportunistic and a heavy reliance on resources generated by third parties…while
  2. …our own species, is presented as the top of the evolutionary process, epitomized by the expansion of diets during the broad spectrum revolution and the sophistication on the methods and techniques for obtaining animal resources.
  3. This view is especially recurrent for the European record, where scavenging plays an important role in the interpretations of the subsistence of early hominins and loose its central position in the narrative of the subsistence along the development of the evolutionary process
  4. However, the archeological evidences contradicts this gradual evolution, as some of the subsistencial traits and technological implements traditionally associated with modernity are presented in the early stages of human evolution, and emerge suddenly in the fossil record
  5. Our goal in this presentation is asses the validity of the concepts of gradual evolution of the subsistence strategies in the European record. For that we focus in one of the most complete lower Paleolithic Archeological sequences providing empirical data about circa one million years of cultural evolution, the Gran Dolina record
  6. Hominins groups (presumably Homo antecessor and Sima de los Huesos paleodeme and their relatives) used the cave recurrently such as refuge, home base and kill site within diverse occupational dynamics contributing to the formation of different fossil accumulations.
  7. Among the stratigraphically discrete assemblages recovered during the fieldwork, four of them stand out for being almost exclusively anthropogenic, the TD6.2 layer (980 ka), TD10.2 bison bone bed layer (400 ka), TD10.1 bone bed layer and (337 ka) and TD10.1 upper (240 ka). Our work focus in more than thirty-five thousand faunal remains and more than seven hundred millennia.
  8. Along the sequence, all the anthropogenic accumulations are highly dominated by large ungulates, always over the seventy-five percent of the Identified Specimens. In all of the layers, independently of their antiquity, deer, bison and horses are the focus of the subsistence, while it is true that some episodes shows their own characteristics as the case of TD10.2 where bison are the only prey or events the events of cannibalism in TD6.
  9. Appart form ungulates, the butchering marks located in some specimenes of large, medium and small carnivores and in hominis related with early access to the carcasses denote that along the Gran Dolina sequences and at least from 0,9 million years the hominins from Atapuerca are higth in the food web and are top predators, probably predated only by large predators or other hominins.
  10. Mortality profiles provides an indication of hunting strategy, because non-human predators take the youngest, oldest, and weakest members of herds, while only humans are able to hunt prime adults consistently (with some exceptions). The prime-adult-dominated mortality profile of large ungulates in Gran Dolina assemblages must be attributed to ambush hunting or stalking. However other strategies such as the communal hunting of whole bison herds in TD10.2, or the strategies focused in the depletion of the of the individuals involving the least risk in their capture emerges early and demonstrate the behavioural flexibility in hunting behaviours.
  11. Procesamiento es análogo al moderno no hay diferencias significativas con los cazadores recolectores actuales Lupo oConnell, paleoindios, hadzas etc….
  12. Partial or Integral Transport of Carcasses of >150 individuals from the Kill Sites to Camps
  13. Entonces? Son los 4 niveles tratados exactamente iguales desde el punto de vista de la tafonomía?
  14. Aunque los yacimientos son diferentes, muchas de las características que presentan en cuanto caza, procesamiento, transporte y reparto del alimento son comunes, aparecen pronto y se mantienen sin cambios sustanciales a lo largo de las secuencia durante 700 mil años.
