** Rodríguez-Hidalgo A., Sanz M., Daura J., Sánchez-Marco A., 2020. Taphonomic criteria for identifying Iberian lynx dens in quaternary deposits. Scientific Reports vol. 10, Article number: 7225
Abstract: For
decades, taphonomists have dedicated their efforts to assessing the nature of
the massive leporid accumulations recovered at archaeological sites in the
northwestern Mediterranean region. Their interest lying in the fact that the
European rabbit constituted a critical part of human subsistence during the
late Pleistocene and early Holocene. However, rabbits are also a key prey in
the food webs of Mediterranean ecosystems and the base of the diet for several
specialist predators, including the Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus). For this
reason, the origin of rabbit accumulations in northwestern Mediterranean sites
has proved a veritable conundrum. Here, we present the zooarchaeological and
taphonomic study of more than 3000 faunal and 140 coprolite remains recovered
in layer IIIa of Cova del Gegant (Catalonia, Spain). Our analysis indicates
that this layer served primarily as a den for the Iberian lynx. The lynxes
modified and accumulated rabbit remains and also died at the site creating an
accumulation dominated by the two taxa. However, other agents and processes,
including human, intervened in the final configuration of the assemblage. Our
study contributes to characterizing the Iberian lynx fossil accumulation
differentiating between the faunal assemblages accumulated by lynxes and hominins.

Zotero : how to
Following the first annual TAPHEN meeting organized by JP Brugal and
hosted by M. Peresani and U. Thun hohenstein at Ferrara, I have created
the Taphen Zotero account.Zotero is a free and open source Library
manager exactly similar to Endnote. By joining the Zotero TAPHEN Group
you will be allowed to upload all your references and PDF related to the
taphen Network. The process is very simple:
1) Create your Zotero account online.
2) You will receive by email an invitation to join the Zotero TAPHEN Group: click on the link included in this email and click on ‘’join’’ that will appear in red at the mid-section of the right side of your screen in your Zotero online account.
1) Create your Zotero account online.
2) You will receive by email an invitation to join the Zotero TAPHEN Group: click on the link included in this email and click on ‘’join’’ that will appear in red at the mid-section of the right side of your screen in your Zotero online account.
3) Install Zotero on your computer. https://www.zotero.org/download/
4) Open Zotero on your computer and synchronize the software with your online Zotero account. It is explained here. Don’t be afraid it is simple https://www.zotero.org/support/sync
5) After synchronization, you will see a group named ‘’GDRI_Taphen’’ in the left section of the Zotero installed on your computer. 6) From there, using the Zotero installed on your computer you can add references and PDF in the GDRI_Taphen library. Here are some directions to use Zotero https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library
7) This is a very intuitive software, it takes 30 min to follow the 6 steps above and 30 min more to explore the tools available at the Zotero installed on your computer.
8) Breathe deeply……. Once again…….
9) and meet one of the young scholars from your team who probably already uses Zotero and will be happy to provide you an additional 30 min short training.
You will see that I have created the sub-section ‘’Taphen General’’ in the library. Basically, anyone from the group can create a new subsection related to a specific working group if needed.
We have 300 MB free storage, unlimited storage is 120$/year. I suggest, when possible, to register the URL of the article if it is an open-access article instead of the PDF and to upload PDFs only for hardly available publications.
