New Publication: 'The shrews (Soricidae, Mammalia) of the Early and Middle Pleistocene of Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Spain): reassessing their paleontological record in the Iberian Peninsula' by Raquel Moya-Costa, Gloria Cuenca-Bescós, and Juan Rofes

May 8, 2023

This paper accepted in QSR, systematically reports, and describes ALL the different shrew species (9) from the entire stratigraphic sequence of Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Spain): Early to Middle Pleistocene. It also discusses the main biochronologic and biogeographic implications of those taxa for Eurasian archaeo-palaeontology.

Co-author Juan Rofes is an Associate Professor of the UP School of Archaeology and head of its Zooarchaeological Laboratory.

The paper is open access and can be downloaded...
