La aplicación de la computación en Humanidades en la última década se ha consolidado como una disciplina clave para el estudio de los procesos históricos desde numerosas vertientes siendo necesaria la utilización de diferentes softwares y lenguajes para la elaboración de dichas aproximaciones y el posterior tratamiento de los resultados. No obstante, son muchos los trabajos que carecen de transparencia (acceso a los datos y código) por lo que se hace imposible su reproducción por otros equipos de investigación. Por ello, en este documento se realiza una revisión de los trabajos publicados en revistas peninsulares para evaluar el grado de transparencia de la comunidad computacional hispano-lusa. The last decade has seen the consolidation of Computational Archaeology and the Digital Humanities as key disciplines in the multifaceted study of historical processes. In this regard, the use of different software packages or programming languages for data analysis has notably increased among archaeologists. However, in many cases open research protocols are not fully observed (when access to data and code are not always granted), which makes reproducibility impossible for other research groups. The present article reviews the transparency of works published in the most important journals of the Iberian Peninsula, to evaluate the degree of openness within the Iberian research community.

Agricultural activities, including practices, crops and techniques have evolved throughout history undergoing tremendous changes. From the early Neolithic farmers in the Mediterranean focused on cereal agriculture and only later, during the 4th/3rd millennium cal. BC in the Eastern basin, other species such as fruit trees were introduced into the agrarian system transforming the model that had been in use for millennia. Fruit tree management required innovation and investment and more importantly multi-year foresight as the new crops entailed a new pace of work with delayed returns and, thus, a greater entanglement with the land. Processes of social complexity and urbanization accompanied the emergence of arboriculture which occurred at different pace at both ends of the Mediterranean. This paper focuses on the Iberian Peninsula, the most western Mediterranean region, during the 1st millennium cal. BC when arboriculture spread after commercial encounters with oriental seafarers. Here we report the earliest archaeobotanical evidence (seeds and fruits) for the introduction of fruit cultivation in Iberia. Results from several sites indicate that the spread of fruit cultivation was a long process that varied regionally. In some areas the new crops were rapidly adopted and integrated into the Mediterranean trading networks while in other regions arboriculture was not developed until the end of the millennium. Of the various fruit products that were commercialized, wine occupied a most relevant role., This paper is an output of the project FRUITCOM “Un Nuevo modelo agrícola: frutales, hierro y comercio durante el I milenio A.E.” (CIDEGENT/2019/003) funded by Generalitat Valenciana, and “Fenicios e indígenas en el Sureste de la Península Ibérica: Bronce Final y Hierro Antiguo entre el Vinalopó y el Segura” (HAR2017-87495-P) funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad.

[EN] The period comprising the end of the Early Neolithic and the Middle Neolithic, dated broadly within the fifth millennium cal BC, corresponds to an interval that remains largely unknown in the extreme northwestern tip of Africa. This situation contrasts with that of the Early Neolithic, a period characterised by the earliest evidence of the diffusion of a productive economy, cultivated plants and domestic animals. The paucity of data for these later phases can be explained in part by the lack of secure contexts and sequences based on radiocarbon datings of short-lived samples. The current study presents the results of the excavations of ElKhil Caves B and C that yield materials allowing reevaluation of the chronology of a type of ceramic known as Ashakar ware. The study also identifies two traditions in the northern Moroccan Middle Neolithic. The first is heir to the so-called Impressa Mediterranean ware and rooted in the Cardial Neolithic, while the second is characterised by roulette cord impressions, red slip and tunnel lugs and probably rooted in the region of the Sahara, and has no technological precedents in the study area., [FR] La fin du Néolithique ancien et le Néolithique moyen, correspondant au Ve millénaire av. n. è. (dates calibrées), demeure largement méconnue à l’extrême nord-ouest de l’Afrique. Cette situation contraste avec le Néolithique ancien qui est marqué par les premiers indices de la diffusion d’une économie de production basée sur la culture des plantes et la domestication. Le manque de données pour ces phases plus récentes peut notamment s’expliquer par l’absence de contextes sûrs ainsi que la rareté des datations radiocarbones d’échantillons organiques de courte durée de vie. Cette étude présente les données issues des fouilles des grottes El-Khil B et C (Maroc) qui ont livré des assemblages mobiliers qui permettent de revoir la chronologie de la céramique de type Achakar. L’étude met également en évidence deux traditions dans le nord du Maroc au cours du Néolithique moyen. La première découle de la tradition de la céramique imprimée et est enracinée dans le néolithique Cardial connu dans le monde méditerranéen. La seconde est caractérisée par des céramiques décorées à roulette de cordelette enroulée, un engobe rouge et des anses « funiculaires ». Ces influences seraient probablement originaires de la région saharienne et sont sans précédents technologiques dans la zone d’étude, The research was jointly funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a grant awarded for the call for Excavations Abroad 2011 by the AGRIWESTMED ERC-EdG project of the European Research Council as well as through the project BOrígenes y expansión de la agricultura en el sur peninsular y norte de Marruecos: aportaciones desde la arqueobotánica y la genética (HAR 2008-01920 HIST)^ coordinated by Leonor PeñaChocarro (Peña-Chocarro et al. 2013).
