Concluding remarks Bibliography 1. Introduction The Bay of Biscay is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean, indenting the coast of W Europe from NW France (Offshore of Brittany) to NW Spain (Galicia). Tradition- ally the southern limit is considered to be Cape Ortegal in NW Spain, but in this contribution we follow the criterion of other authors (i.e. Sánchez and Olaso, 2004) that extends the southern limit up to Cape Finisterre, at 43∞ N latitude, in order to get a more consistent analysis of oceanographic, geomorphological and biological characteristics observed in the bay. The Bay of Biscay forms a fairly regular curve, broken on the French coast by the estuaries of the rivers (i.e. Loire and Gironde). The southeastern shore is straight and sandy whereas the Spanish coast is rugged and its northwest part is characterized by many large V-shaped coastal inlets (rias) (Evans and Prego, 2003). The area has been identified as a unit since Roman times, when it was called Sinus Aquitanicus, Sinus Cantabricus or Cantaber Oceanus. The coast has been inhabited since prehistoric times and nowadays the region supports an important population (Valdés and Lavín, 2002) with various noteworthy commercial and fishing ports (i.e. -
Aragon and Catalunya, Spain Steve M R Young 28/3-1/4 2003 in March
Aragon and Catalunya, Spain Steve M R Young 28/3-1/4 2003 In March 1999 Ian Reid conducted a reconnaissance birding trip in Extremadura at the end of an academic visit to Madrid. In May he and I then followed up with a blinding four day clean- up operation that produced a key trip report and the bench-mark itinerary for a short May visit. Clearly hooked on Spain, Ian conducted another reccy in November 2002. This time he’d gone to the pre-Pyrenees region of Aragon in NE Spain after Lammergeier, Wallcreeper and Black Woodpecker. With the assistance of local guide Josele Saiz he’d succeeded with the first two, gripping me off with Lammergeier which I’d always believed was very hard in the Pyrenees. While Wallcreepers were still at low altitude wintering sites, March seemed a good time to follow up, just five months after my last birding in Spain. Ian and I planned another 3-4 day weekend based at Josele’s B&B in the province of Huesca on the southern edge of the Sierra de Guara, part of the pre-Pyrenees mountains. In addition to the impressive Black Woodpecker and the rare and fantastically charismatic Lammergeier other potential lifers for me were Rock Thrush and Lesser Short-toed Lark; the latter in the plains to the south. My one superb Wallcreeper in Switzerland (see 19/6/90) was well overdue for an update, especially if I could use the Coolpix and Televid successfully. Catalonia March 28th Ian met me at airport arrivals having already collected the Ford Focus and found his way to and from the first birding site just beyond the airport perimeter. -
Working Papers in Economic History the Roots of Land Inequality in Spain

Beltrán Tapia (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU) Alfonso Díez-Minguela (Universitat de València) Julio Martinez-Galarraga (Universitat de València) Daniel A. Tirado-Fabregat (Universitat de València) Abstract There is a high degree of inequality in land access across Spain. In the South, and in contrast to other areas of the Iberian Peninsula, economic and political power there has traditionally been highly concentrated in the hands of large landowners. Indeed, an unequal land ownership structure has been linked to social conflict, the presence of revolutionary ideas and a desire for agrarian reform. But what are the origins of such inequality? In this paper we quantitatively examine whether geography and/or history can explain the regional differences in land access in Spain. While marked regional differences in climate, topography and location would have determined farm size, the timing of the Reconquest, the expansion of the Christian kingdoms across the Iberian Peninsula between the 9th and the 15th centuries at the expense of the Moors, influenced the type of institutions that were set up in each region and, in turn, the way land was appropriated and distributed among the Christian settlers. -
33 the Radiocarbon Chronology of El Mirón Cave
RADIOCARBON, Vol 52, Nr 1, 2010, p 33–39 © 2010 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona THE RADIOCARBON CHRONOLOGY OF EL MIRÓN CAVE (CANTABRIA, SPAIN): NEW DATES FOR THE INITIAL MAGDALENIAN OCCUPATIONS Lawrence Guy Straus1,2 • Manuel R González Morales2 ABSTRACT. Three additional radiocarbon assays were run on samples from 3 levels lying below the classic (±15,500 BP) Lower Cantabrian Magdalenian horizon in the outer vestibule excavation area of El Mirón Cave in the Cantabrian Cordillera of northern Spain. Although the central tendencies of the new dates are out of stratigraphic order, they are consonant with the post-Solutrean, Initial Magdalenian period both in El Mirón and in the Cantabrian region, indicating a technological transition in preferred weaponry from foliate and shouldered points to microliths and antler sagaies between about 17,000–16,000 BP (uncalibrated), during the early part of the Oldest Dryas pollen zone. Now with 65 14C dates, El Mirón is one of the most thor- oughly dated prehistoric sites in western Europe. The until-now poorly dated, but very distinctive Initial Cantabrian Magdale- nian lithic artifact assemblages are briefly summarized. INTRODUCTION El Mirón Cave is located in the upper valley of the Asón River in eastern Cantabria Province in northern Spain, about 100 m up from the valley floor on the steep western face of a mountain in the second foothill range of the Cantabrian Cordillera, about halfway between the cities of Santander and Bilbao. The site location in the town of Ramales de la Victoria (431448N, 3275W) is 260 m above present sea level, and about 20 km from the present shore of the Bay of Biscay (and about 25–30 km from the Tardiglacial shore). -
