The Institut Català Human Paleoecology Social i Evolució seeks international scientific recognition site of La Canonja, considered one of the most important Europe Scientists from various European and Asian countries such as France, England, Switzerland and Syria yesterday visited the site Paleontology Boella (The Canonja), considered one of the three oldest in the Iberian Peninsula and one the most important of Eurasia.
The group consists of about twenty-five researchers these days participating in a meeting organized by the Catalan Institute of Human Paleoecology Social i Evolució (IPHES) interested in this site which contains evidence of the Quaternary.
The objective of this meeting is "to present the results of the research community university science, 'said the site director, Josep Vallverdú.
One of the goals it has set the IPHES is to achieve international recognition of the remains located in La Boella, a deposit equal in length to those of Atapuerca and Orce, which retained ancestral remains found so far in Europe. Vallverdú
said that the presence of researchers on the territory where is located the site "we want to validate their importance and that there is scientific agreement on the remains found in La Boella." Second migration
The first African hominid migration into Eurasia occurred about two million years. La Boella investigates the presence of traces corresponding to the second migration, which occurred between 800,000 and makes a million years. "We think it may be well reflected here," said Vallverdú.
The discovery of remains related to human presence "has been the most interesting surprise that has brought the site, since it placed chronologically in the same period Atapuerca and Orce."
Facing a wall of earth eight feet, in which there are marks of paleontologists in the first four IPHES scientist explained to his colleagues in Europe and Asia remains located in La Boella, among which a collection mammoth defenses, and thousands of years ago the plain around La Canonja was flooded by water, since this area was under the influence of the river Francolí. Vallverdú
reported that "after the presentation of the excavation, will assess how the archaeological record can provide a complementary perspective to the continental and marine sediments that are already known, to define the limits and characteristics of environmental change makes about 800,000 years. "
The next step will provide the site with the necessary infrastructure to protect the remains found on the walls of the gully of La Boella and are in the open, a circumstance which could involve heavy rains cause damage or a landslide. The director of IPHES
, Eudald Carbonell, for his part said that "the meeting that takes place in the Castell de Masricard is very significant because it involves the incorporation of researchers linked to the Institut and the INQUA (International Association for Quaternary Research ), which serves to place the Boella and studies between the sites of the first order to the international community, to deepen the understanding of early human occupation.
