During the early development of archaeology in Spain, many of the materials obtained from excavations were later forgotten in museum deposits. However, re-investigation of these collections with contemporary methodologies can still contribute valuable knowledge. This study presents the case of El Bosquet Cave (Mont-ral, Tarragona, Spain), located in the Northeastern Iberian Peninsula.

Materials And Methods: Teeth from 84 adult individuals from eight distinct samples spanning the Middle-Late Neolithic to the Middle Bronze Age (Cova de l'Avi, Cova de Can Sadurní, Cova de la Guineu, Cova Foradada, Cova del Trader, Roc de les Orenetes, Cova del Gegant, Cova dels Galls Carboners) were analyzed using optical microscopy to examine buccal dental microwear patterns.
Results: The analysis did not reveal clear chronological contrasts in the dietary habits of these samples.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates incidents of interpersonal violence during the transition between the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age in the Eastern Pyrenees, aiming to contextualize these findings within Western Europe and differentiate them from secondary funerary treatments.
- The analysis involved using metric and non-metric methods to determine the age and sex of skeletal remains, with injuries being examined through advanced microscopy techniques.
- Results show that out of at least 51 individuals, six exhibited trauma likely from violence, predominantly affecting males, with sharp force injuries common on upper limbs and ribs, suggesting multiple violent encounters in a high-altitude setting.
Polar lows (PLs), which are intense maritime polar mesoscale cyclones, are associated with severe weather conditions. Due to their small size and rapid development, PL forecasting remains a challenge. Convection-permitting models are adequate to forecast PLs since, compared to coarser models, they provide a better representation of convection as well as surface and near-surface processes.
