(orcid)0000-0003-4280-3971 Dendro-anthracological tools applied to Scots type pine forests exploitation as fuel during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in the southern central pre-Pyrenees (Spain) 2021 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This work focuses on the reconstruction of fuelwood procurement during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition in the southern central Pre-Pyrenees (Spain). The study combines wood charcoal identification with the application of dendro-anthracological approaches in the archaeological sequence of Esplugón (9.4–6.8 kyr cal BP) (Sabiñanigo, Huesca). Scots type pine (Pinus sylvestris tp.) reaches in this record around 90% of exploited firewood in line with its abundance in the inner Iberia mountainous areas during the onset of the Holocene. The classification of pine wood fragments in anthraco-groups is based on the combination of different dendro-anthracological tools: i) pith location tool and wood diameter estimation based on the trigonomethric method tool (ADmodel), ii) the study of growth rate based on the annual tree-ring width measurements, and iii) a modern dendrological dataset. There are hardly any differences observed in firewood procurement between the last hunter-gatherers and the first farmers in the long sequences from rock-shelters with recurrent human occupations. First results from this site point to the exploitation of whole trees but a high use of small pine branches probably from the gathering of branch shedding. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/HAR2017-85023-P info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.454 2021 GEOGRAPHY, PHYSICAL 34 / 50 = 0.68 2021 Q3 T3 GEOSCIENCES, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 124 / 202 = 0.614 2021 Q3 T2 0.872 2021 Earth-Surface Processes 2021 Q1 5.5 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Dufraisse, A.
