Arqueología y Patrimonio, S.L. Gran Canaria DELGADO DARIAS, Teresa El Museo Canario Se presentan los resultados del estudio de la Vitrina 2 de la Sala de Antropología del Museo Castillo de la Fortaleza El Hao, en Santa Lucía, procedente de la colección Vicente Sánchez Araña. Según se indica en la etiqueta de referencia el contenido de la vitrina corresponde a una cueva funeraria de los antiguos canarios, barranco de Guayadeque, cuya recuperación se produjo en 1950. Se trataba de un depósito colectivo que el responsable del Museo calificó como sepulcro familiar y situó cronológicamente en el siglo I dC. No obstante, la veracidad de esta información es cuestionable pues no hay certeza de que todos los componentes de la vitrina procedan de la misma cueva, ni siquiera del mismo contexto geográfico. Todo parece indicar que la escena que se recrea no corresponde a la realidad funeraria de ningún sepulcro y solo es una composición con arreglo a los intereses expositivos del responsable del Museo. Es un ejemplo de cómo durante mucho tiempo se ha funcionado en instituciones y espacios dedicados a la exposición del Patrimonio Arqueológico, donde la manipulación y la recreación, cuando no la falsificación de evidencias, constituía una práctica común. En este caso, la visión del artífice muestra una comprensión del fenómeno funerario interesante que permite valorar en el contexto del momento cómo se construye el conocimiento sobre el pasado aborigen insular.

  • More Than a Mountain: the Contentious Multiplicity of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands)
    More than a mountain: the contentious multiplicity of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) Isaac Marrero-Guillamón Goldsmiths, University of London The mountain of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) has been surrounded by controversy since the mid-1990s. It is, at once, a listed indigenous site, a protected natural environment, a mining resource, and the designated location of a monumental intervention by artist Eduardo Chillida, consisting in digging a grand cubic cave in its interior. This article conceptualizes Tindaya as a contentious multiplicity and analyses the mountain’s competing enactments. The state’s Tindaya is a ‘partitioned’ mountain, an entity split into different dimensions (cultural and natural; interior and exterior) that can be both legally protected and excavated. In contrast, activists have enacted a ‘holistic’ mountain, characterized by the inseparability of its multiple ‘values’ (archaeological, geological, environmental) and the need to protect it as a single whole. These two enactments constitute ‘worlding’ practices connected to opposing understandings of the relationship between heritage, nature, and the future. For the state, the mountain is an asset to be exploited, an opportunity to bring about prosperous futures fashioned after the spectacular projects of the metropolis. For the activists, Tindaya represents a unique opportunity to rethink the island’s development model and to put indigenous heritage and environmental concerns at its centre. Tindaya’s unresolved multiplicity is therefore political in the broadest sense: it is a reminder that reality can be otherwise. ‘Do not touch Tindaya’, read the banner; ‘the Monument already exists’, said the t-shirts. A dozen activists representing the Coordinadora Montaña Tindaya (Tindaya Mountain Coordinating Committee, henceforth Coordinadora) stood at the entrance of Fuerteventura’s Government Building, about to make a statement.

  • Contribution to the Lepidoptera Fauna of the Madeira Islands Part 2
    Beitr. Ent. Keltern ISSN 0005 - 805X 51 (2001) 1 S. 161 - 213 14.09.2001 Contribution to the Lepidoptera fauna of the Madeira Islands Part 2. Tineidae, Acrolepiidae, Epermeniidae With 127 figures Reinhard Gaedike and Ole Karsholt Summary A review of three families Tineidae, Epermeniidae and Acrolepiidae in the Madeira Islands is given. Three new species: Monopis henderickxi sp. n. (Tineidae), Acrolepiopsis mauli sp. n. and A. infundibulosa sp. n. (Acrolepiidae) are described, and two new combinations in the Tineidae: Ceratobia oxymora (MEYRICK) comb. n. and Monopis barbarosi (KOÇAK) comb. n. are listed. Trichophaga robinsoni nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied T. abrkptella (WOLLASTON, 1858). The first record from Madeira of the family Acrolepiidae (with Acrolepiopsis vesperella (ZELLER) and the two above mentioned new species) is presented, and three species of Tineidae: Stenoptinea yaneimarmorella (MILLIÈRE), Ceratobia oxymora (MEY­ RICK) and Trichophaga tapetgella (LINNAEUS) are reported as new to the fauna of Madeira. The Madeiran records given for Tsychoidesfilicivora (MEYRICK) are the first records of this species outside the British Isles. Tineapellionella LINNAEUS, Monopis laevigella (DENIS & SCHIFFERMULLER) and M. imella (HÜBNER) are dele­ ted from the list of Lepidoptera found in Madeira. All species and their genitalia are figured, and informa­ tion on bionomy is presented. Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Übersicht über die drei Familien Tineidae, Epermeniidae und Acrolepiidae auf den Madeira Inseln gegeben. Die drei neuen Arten Monopis henderickxi sp. n.

RESUMEN: Durante la estación reproductora de 2009 (febrero-junio) se ha estudiado el tamaño de la población de cuervo en cuatro islas del archipié- lago canario. En total fueron censadas 44 parejas: diez en Gran Canaria, 12 en Tenerife, 17 en La Palma y cinco en La Gomera. La mayoría de estas parejas tienen sus territorios en barrancos, roquedos y acantilados marinos, coincidiendo con enclaves donde aún existe actividad ganadera (rebaños de cabras y ovejas) o cabras asilvestradas. Es muy probable que el tamaño de la población flotante no supere al de las aves reproductoras. Se discuten las amenazas reales y potenciales. Palabras clave: Corvus corax, censo, distribución, conservación, islas cen- tro-occidentales, archipiélago canario. ABSTRACT: During the 2009 breeding season (February-June) we studied the population size of Common Raven on four islands of the Canarian archi- pelago.

  • Conductive Structures Around Las Cañadas Caldera, Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain): a Structural Control
    Geologica Acta, Vol.8, Nº 1, March 2010, 67-82 DOI: 10.1344/105.000001516 Available online at www.geologica-acta.com Conductive structures around Las Cañadas caldera, Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain): A structural control * N. COPPO P.A. SCHNEGG P. FALCO and R. COSTA Geomagnetism group, Department of Geology, University of Neuchâtel CP 158, 2009 Neuchâtel, Switzerland *corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT External eastern areas of the Las Cañadas caldera (LCC) of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) have been investigated using the audiomagnetotelluric (AMT) method with the aim to characterize the physical rock properties at shallow depth and the thickness of a first resistive layer. Using the results of 50 AMT tensors carried out in the period range of 0.001 s to 0.3 s, this study provides six unpublished AMT profiles distributed in the upper Orotava valley and data from the Pedro Gil caldera (Dorsal Ridge). Showing obvious 1-D behaviour, soundings have been processed through 1-D modeling and gathered to form profiles. Underlying a resistive cover (150-2000 Ωm), a conductive layer at shallow depth (18-140 Ωm, 250-1100 m b.g.l.) which is characterized by a “wavy-like” structure, often parallel to the topography, appears in all profiles. This paper points out the ubiquitous existence in Tenerife of such a conductive layer, which is the consequence of two different processes: a) according to geological data, the enhanced conductivity of the flanks is interpreted as a plastic breccia within a clayish matrix generated during huge lateral collapse; and b) along main tectonic structures and inside calderas, this layer is formed by hydrothermal alteration processes.

  • Mount Teide in the Work of Olivia Stone: Landscape As a Tourism Resource
    Cuadernos de Turismo, nº 39, (2017); pp. 611-614 Universidad de Murcia ISSN: 1139-7861 eISSN: 1989-4635 MOUNT TEIDE IN THE WORK OF OLIVIA STONE: LANDSCAPE AS A TOURISM RESOURCE Esther Beltrán Yanes Universidad de La Laguna (Tenerife) [email protected] 1. INTRODUCTION The landscape and nature of the Canary Islands stand out on the world map for their diversity and originality. This fragmented insular space combines a variety of geographical factors, namely volcanism and its subtropical location, resulting in many diverse landscapes all within a small area (7,493 km2). Romanticism, a cultural movement that inspired the beginning of leisure travel to the Canary Islands, took traveling beyond the strictly European borders and brought it to more exotic and distant destinations, which, in the late nineteenth century, began to place this archipelago northwest of the African continent in the limelight. The objective of the paper presented is twofold. On the one hand, our objective is to explore the tourist interest in the landscape of the Canary Islands, and especially by the predominantly natural physiognomy, among Europeans, particularly among the British in the late nineteenth century. And secondly, once this first objective has been fulfilled, we will demonstrate that one of the main centres of attraction in this sense was the exceptional scenery associated with the stunning Teide stratovolcano. To accomplish this dual objective, it was first essential to make a brief analysis of the European culture of British high society that inspired leisure travel and spending free time in nature and the countryside during that era, and then analyse the stories of travellers who were drawn to visit the islands due to the landscape and who played an important role in the tourism industry taking off during those years.

  • Arqueología Del Culto En La Prehistoria De Tenerife
    DE LAS IDOLATRÍAS DE LOS ANTIGUOS GUANCHES (ARQUEOLOGÍADEL CULTO EN LA PREHISTORIA DE TENERIFE) POR JESÚS M. FERNANDEZ RODRÍGUEZ ((Mientras más escribo en esta relación antigua, siempre hallo cosas nuevas que con- tar» (D. DURAN:Historia de las Indias de Nue- va España e Islas de lferra firme, 1 [1967], p. 135). Debe admitirse, en rigor, que todo intento de atacar los entresijos de los sistemas religiosos aborígenes se revela de un alcance desmedido, de una endiablada dificultad. Y ello es debido no sólo al importante grado de extrañamiento que esta realidad cultural presenta a la moderna concepción del hecho religioso, racionalizadora en exceso, sino también, y funda- mentalmente, debido a la propia naturaleza y limitaciones que imponen las fuentes -etnohistóricas y arqueológicas- para su conocimiento. Son estos argumentos los que han propiciado que este campo científico sea todavía para la investigación histórico- arqueológica un ámbito de estudio difícil e impenetrable, sec- tor acomodaticio y subjetivo donde los haya; mientras para algunos, anclados en viejos modelos de análisis normativistas Núm. 42 (1996) 97 y empiricistas, la religión constituye una faceta especulativa y .no científica, otros se atreven habitualmente a abordarla sin suficiente rigor y sin un mínimo de información teórica. Mu- cho es lo que se ha escrito pero poco lo que se sabe. No obs- tante, sería injusto no destacar aquí las valiosas aportaciones que en su día realizaron, desde distintas estrategias, investiga- dores como D. J. Wolfel, J. hvarez Delgado y L. D. Cuscoy, o, en fechas recientes, el notable salto cualitativo que A. Tejera y otros han dado en la comprensión de los fenómenos religio- sos aborígenes.
