NEW DEADLINE IS MARCH 2018

We are pleased to announce that our special issue of the Journal of Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences entitled “Iberian Paleodiet – Exploring links between  diet, culture, disease and environment using osteoarchaeological evidence” is now available. Click here to see the editorial

The Iberian Peninsula has a complex cultural background, wide climatic/environmental transitions and biogeographical differences in resources. Over time within Iberia prehistoric funerary rites and cultural practice were diverse, Iberia  played an important role during the Roman Empire; it was the intersection between the main European religious cultures (Islam,  Judaism and Christianity) during the Medieval period; and Spain and Portugal were a key point of contact for  the New World. The underlying geology and climate results in a wide variety of soil types resulting in different preservation conditions and diagenesis of human remains. All these issues make the Iberian Peninsula an ideal framework for exploring human culture, diet and  environment in the past.

This Special Issue showcase current bioarchaeological research into diet on Iberian skeletal collections using case studies of European and global significance. It includes 19 original research articles !!!! from 8,000 BC to AD 1960. If you are interested on our special issue please email (olalla.lopez@usc.es and michelle.alexander@york.ac.uk).

IBERIAN PALEODIET

It is made by  breakthrough contributions  which, using skeletal collections from the Iberian Peninsula,  help us to understand the complex adaptation of human beings to their changeable cultural and natural environment.
