We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula

Wild European bison can thrive in a wide variety of landscapes - including human-dominated ones.

Happy to share the new virtual collection of comparative anatomy, SKELETONS ONLINE (cor.iphes.cat).
The specimens come from the comparative anatomy collection of @iphes-cerca.bsky.social , in Tarragona (Spain).
Please, use it and share!!!

We are finding a large amount of plastic debris in the nests of various urban bird species. In fact, we found 94 items in a single nest, a new personal (and sad) record. I hope we can publish the results of this project next year.

Mi comentario va más por la similitud estilística que por el ave/especie en sí, que identificarla con lo que hay ya me parece bastante pro.

Neolithic cannibalism in Spain’s Sierra de Atapuerca. New evidence of cannibalism among farming communities over 5,700 years ago. Victims were locals, not outsiders. Not linked to famine — likely tied to intergroup violence.

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.

Good observation. In Atapuerca sites it's not uncommon to see units labeled from top to bottom, particularly when the stratigraphy was first described during excavation, rather than based purely on sedimentological deposition. A non-standard but internally consistent convention.
