En este trabajo se da a conocer el instrumental lítico recuperado en un recinto de taula del poblado talayótico de Sa Cudia Cremada (Mahón, Menorca). En dicho espacio ritual, en uso durante la segunda Edad del Hierro, se han recuperado utensilios que corresponden a algunas de las tipologías que se documentan en las estructuras domésticas de la misma cronología, como son los molinos de vaivén y los percutores. Se realizan propuestas relativas al significado de la presencia de dichos objetos en un edificio de carácter sacro, a través de su estudio morfotipológico y de su distribución espacial, y mediante comparaciones con los datos previos referentes a las herramientas líticas en las viviendas. Los resultados respaldan la hipótesis de la existencia de un paralelismo entre espacios religiosos y espacios domésticos. La abundancia de utensilios líticos en un edificio ritual parece reforzar la importancia simbólica de estos elementos, ya propuesta en otros trabajos. Por otro lado, se ha identificado la presencia masiva de pequeños guijarros ante el elemento central del recinto, lo que permite proponer la realización de un ritual no documentado con anterioridad en otros recintos de taula.

The study examines human influence on the evolution of beach-dune systems in the Balearic Islands, focusing on afforestation with Pinus halepensis. Historically, actions have been taken to stabilize these areas, significantly impacting the morphology and dynamics of the systems. Through a historical review and analysis of 31 such systems, it is evident that the presence of Pinus halepensis is largely associated with human interventions, significantly affecting the vegetation structure and biodiversity conservation. The systems exhibit variations in size and conservation status, reflecting historical afforestation practices and current challenges in managing these ecosystems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La presencia de templos de tipología clásica en Hispania se remonta a finales del siglo III o principios del II a. C. Un tipo en particular, el templo toscano, ha sido puesto de relieve por su supuesta identificación como capitolia. El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer un análisis de los materiales recuperados durante la excavación en extensión del templo toscano de Pollentia (Alcúdia, Mallorca), con especial interés por intentar fijar su cronología inicial. Aunque los materiales presentan un alto porcentaje de residualidad, útil para el estudio del asentamiento previo, las clases y tipos identificados permiten proponer, teniendo en cuenta el contexto local y regional, una datación para la construcción del templo. Como resultado, se ha podido sugerir una cronología inicial entre el 122 y el 100/80 a. C, así como avanzar en el conocimiento de algunas acciones inmediatamente anteriores a la fundación de la ciudad y de la evolución del asentamiento indígena preexistente, que se remontaría al menos al siglo IV a. C. La existencia de un templo de estas características en Pollentia enriquece la imagen del núcleo originario.

This study investigates the temporal dynamics of autochthonous dog breed recognition in the Balearic Islands, revealing a complex interplay of relationships across various stages. The analysis, depicted through a heatmap and correlation matrix, highlights the significance of early breed recognition by showing strong negative correlations with subsequent stages, shaping the trajectory for standardized breed preservation. Associations evolve as central players, exhibiting positive correlations in their temporal dynamics and contributing significantly to the sustainability of the island ecosystem. Notably, the study identifies nuanced connections between the temporal sequence of association development and the subsequent achievements of autonomic and national official recognitions. The findings provide valuable insights into the intricate patterns governing breed preservation, offering a comprehensive roadmap for informed conservation strategies and contributing to broader efforts in biodiversity conservation and cultural heritage stewardship unique to the Balearic Islands.

Esta nueva lista incluye 393 táxones nuevos aparecidos en 200 referencias bibliográficas publicadas principalmente entre 2020 y 2023. Comprende 317 especies, 37 géneros o subgéneros, 35 categorías supragenéricas y 4 subespecies procedentes del área considerada.

Entre los yacimientos de las islas Baleares relativos a la presencia del ejército romano destaca el caso de Ses Salines. Conocido desde los años 80 del siglo XX, la información disponible de este yacimiento urbano, fruto de hallazgos casuales, era demasiado débil para hacer una interpretación fiable. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los datos procedentes de trabajos realizados desde 2014, principalmente de la excavación del foso defensivo y de la revisión planimétrica del mismo. Para ello, entre otros métodos, se han utilizado dataciones ceramológicas y por C14 de huesos de fauna. Entre los resultados destaca su datación en 120-100 a. C., hecho que permite relacionarlo con la conquista romana del 123 a. C., así como su identificación como fuerte militar o castellum que podría haber alojado a una cohorte en el sur de la isla.

This study explores the genetic differentiation of autochthonous Balearic dog breeds through the finetuning of microsatellite marker panels. Microsatellite markers are utilized to unravel the genetic intricacies within populations, with each marker offering a unique molecular signature. The study investigates the efficacy of these markers in delineating distinct breeds within the Balearic canine population, providing insights into genetic diversity, informativeness, and deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The microsatellite markers examined form a molecular narrative, depicting the genetic tales of Balearic dog breeds. Results reveal specific markers with consistent values, indicating homogeneity within breeds, while others show variability, particularly in breeds with lower genetic diversity. The discussion emphasizes the selection of markers for a comprehensive panel, considering the nuances of genetic diversity in different breeds. The findings contribute valuable insights for breed management, conservation, and selection programs. Acknowledgments extend gratitude to breed associations for their support, enriching the study with essential data. Overall, this research refines our understanding of genetic dynamics in Balearic dog breeds, informing decisions for their sustainable management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study seeks to evaluate the relationships within the studbook registries of endangered autochthonous canine breeds in the Balearic Islands. Employing Pearson's Product Moment Correlations and operating within the legal framework of Royal Decree 558/2001 aligned with EU standards for recognizing purebred dog breeders in Spain, patterns within the studbook were unveiled. Notably, the female Fundational Registry census displayed robust positive correlations, highlighting the significance of a solid foundational basis, particularly in females, for effective breed consolidation. Conversely, negative correlations with auxiliary registries suggest a diminished role when the foundational basis is strong. The analysis further reveals robust intra-gender relationships and strong correlations with total censuses, indicating systematic registration approaches. Surprisingly, females in the Birth Auxiliary Registry lack correlations, suggesting potential independence and underscoring the pivotal role of female censuses in breed consolidation. In conclusion, this correlation analysis offers valuable insights into studbook dynamics, emphasizing the importance of a robust foundational basis, especially concerning female censuses, in the successful evolution of endangered dog populations into standardized breeds. These findings provide guidance for studbook management and warrant additional exploration into specific registry categories, with a cautionary note that while correlation identifies associations, discerning causation necessitates nuanced interpretation and domain-specific knowledge.

Polyxenida es un orden pequeño de milpiés que usualmente se encuentran en el suelo, madera muerta, bajo cortezas de troncos muertos o de árboles y arbustos vivos, en hojarasca y debajo de rocas. Dado su pequeño tamaño y su naturaleza elusiva, se han estudiado poco, de modo que el conocimiento sobre la distribución, diversidad, biología e historia natural de las especies ibéricas, baleares y canarias es muy limitado. En este trabajo recopilamos todos los registros publicados y proporcionamos nuevas citas para las áreas mencionadas. También incluimos fotos en vivo de varias especies ibéricas previamente no fotografiadas. En las regiones de estudio se encuentran representantes de 3 familias, 5 géneros y al menos 10 especies. La familia Synxenidae incluye un solo representante, Phryssonotus platycephalus (Lucas, 1846), en la península Ibérica y en las islas Baleares. La diversidad es más alta para Polyxenidae, con una especie de amplia distribución, Polyxenus lagurus (Linnaeus, 1758), en Iberia y también Baleares, en donde podría haber otra especie del género no descrita; en las Canarias está presente otra especie de amplia distribución, P. fasciculatus Say, 1821, y el endemismo P. oromii Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1996; el género Macroxenus Brolemann, 1917 está representado por M. rubromarginatus (Lucas, 1846) en Iberia, y M. enghoffi Nguyen Duy-Jacquemin, 1996, posiblemente endémica de las Canarias. Finalmente, en la familia Lophoproctidae, Lophoproctus jeanneli (Brolemann, 1910) se encuentra tanto en la península como en Baleares; L. lucidus (Chalande, 1888) es registrado por primera vez en la península ibérica y en la isla del Hierro; L. pagesi Condè, 1981 es endémico de cuevas de Mallorca, con una forma relacionada en cuevas de Portugal, L. cf. pagesi; Lophoproctinus inferus inferus (Silvestri, 1903) está presente con unos pocos registros en Mallorca y L. i. maurus Marquet & Condè, 1950 se encuentra en las Canarias. Nuestros nuevos registros junto con registros procedentes de iniciativas de ciencia ciudadana (iNaturalist), expanden notablemente el área de distribución conocida de varias especies de Polyxenida en la península Ibérica. Muchas de estas especies presentan patrones de distribución fragmentados, con registros aislados en diferentes áreas geográficas. Un estudio más intenso incluyendo muestreo exhaustivo y datos moleculares ayudará a entender mejor la naturaleza real de estos patrones de distribución.

Throughout history the Balearic Islands have had different degrees of social connectivity between the islands themselves and between them and the mainland. While the influence of historical dynamics is well documented, less so is the impact of winds, currents, and meteo-marine conditions. This paper analyses the meteo-marine conditions for coastal navigation to better understand how these configured the main maritime routes across the islands. We focus on the seafaring communities of the Balearic Islands in the Bronze Age when a series of sites along the coastline suggest the creation of a network of coastal infrastructure to support maritime mobility.

Over time, the excellence of the Balearic link sponsored by the Bureau des Longitudes was questioned to such an extent that when it was critically analysed, it became clear that it should be optimised. There were three features that could be improved: including the island of Menorca in the triangular network, controlling its scale with a geodesic base located near the southern end of the arc, and strengthening the link itself by introducing quadrilaterals in the project in which its two diagonals could be observed. This was precisely the approach followed by Carlos Ibáñez e Ibáñez de Ibero, when he decided to become involved in the geodetic project of the Balearic Islands, one of the most important tasks he undertook after being appointed Head of the Geodetic and Cadastral District of Levante. Such was his interest in the link that on 11th October 1864 he made his proposal and on 22nd February 1865 work began. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Studies of the geographical knowledge of schoolchildren, students and future primary school teachers, based on the use of mental maps, has always been a principal field of research in cognitive geography. This study also explores this issue by assessing mental maps drawn up by undergraduate students in the Balearic Islands studying for a degree in primary school education. More specifically, through quantitative methods (a cluster analysis and taxonomic distance), it seeks to use formal parameters (the distance between the archipelago's islands and the angular direction of the smaller islands in relation to Mallorca) as indicators of the precision with which the mental maps were drawn. The results obtained validate the chosen methodology and they show that both apparently independent variables are in fact correlated. This represents yet another step forward in much wider research into a valid methodology for analysing mental maps, aimed at demonstrating the interrelationship between form and content in students' mental images.

El Bronce Final en el archipiélago balear es un momento de gran dinamismo y enormes cambios a muchos niveles. En este trabajo se aportan evidencias relacionadas con la identificación del uso de la cera perdida y el vaciado adicional como novedades tecnológicas en el contexto insular de estas cronologías. La introducción de estos nuevos conocimientos viene pareja en el tiempo con la aparición de nuevos tipos formales, sin referentes locales previos y sin paralelos foráneos. Todo ello permite reflexionar sobre el papel de las comunidades locales insulares en el contexto del Mediterráneo occidental y sobre cómo se produciría la transmisión de este conocimiento tecnológico. Sugerimos una interpretación que relaciona este fenómeno con procesos de hibridación y enredo material derivados de contactos con artesanos foráneos, probablemente vinculados a ambientes de gran conectividad y movilidad del Estrecho y la fachada atlántica.

En este trabajo se da a conocer un conjunto material asociado a la producción metalúrgica en Menorca durante el periodo Naviforme, mediante los casos de Cala Blanca y Son Mercer de Baix. Además, se tratan aspectos relativos a la circulación de metal incluyendo en el estudio varios conjuntos de lingotes inéditos. La información presentada permite contextualizar las prácticas de producción metalúrgica en la isla y caracterizar dichos conjuntos de evidencias mediante su análisis de composición elemental (FRX-ED). En conjunto, se arrojan datos importantes para la comprensión de los espacios de producción y formas de circulación de metal en la isla de Menorca con implicaciones para el archipiélago balear y el Mediterráneo Occidental durante el Bronce Final.

The myth of the island as paradise is one of the most researched topics in the field of island studies, a myth widely exploited by the tourism sector. This article studies two artistic productions about the Balearic Islands, the chronicle Balearia and the videogame Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, with the purpose of observing the social and ecological impact of the massive arrival of tourists to the Balearic archipelago, such as the increase in prices or the destruction of the ecosystem through uncontrolled urbanization.

This paper explores the use of mental maps as a diagnostic tool to assess university students’ geographical knowledge of the Balearic Islands, by examining aspects that have been largely overlooked in this field of research, including certain formal characteristics of sketch maps. More specifically, it analyses whether required components (each island) and their correct location within the background context (the Balearic archipelago) are present, in addition to salient landmarks on the islands’ coastlines. The quantitative procedures (a weights matrix of relative locations and a principal component analysis supporting cluster analysis) enabled the analysed maps to be classified and correlated. Failure to include one of the islands, inexact location and incorrectly traced outlines were the main indicators of students’ lack of familiarity with the archipelago. In turn, the work highlights the correlation between formal aspects of mental maps and the level of geography knowledge. This finding underlines how useful sketch maps are as a tool to study geography knowledge, which is at odds with theories that question them without supporting empirical verification. Although drawing skills might slightly influence the results, this has no bearing on missing islands, headlands, bays and other features attributable to students’ knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMEN Nuestra investigación se centra en las descripciones relacionadas con el mobiliario escolar, más concretamente con el pupitre –instrumento utilizado para el acomodo del alumno–, que se describen en la narrativa de las memorias de prácticas que redactaron, entre 1939 y 1948, los estudiantes de las Escuelas Normales de las Islas Baleares (España). A la hora de acotar nuestro estudio, realizado en base al método histórico aplicado al campo de la Historia de la Educación, hemos optado por analizar las 97 memorias pedagógicas que describen prácticas de enseñanza realizadas en escuelas públicas de las Islas Baleares, ubicadas en zonas rurales y urbanas. La documentación nos ha permitido acercarnos a algunas de las principales características y tipologías de pupitres que formaron parte de la escenografía del aula. Gracias a estas fuentes hemos podido detectar algunas de las características del mobiliario del momento, así como la superposición de distintas concepciones en torno a cómo debía ser el pupitre escolar, principal artefacto encargado de evitar la fatiga del alumno durante la jornada escolar. Este hecho lo podemos ligar a la superposición de distintas culturas escolares que, tal y como han demostrado algunas investigaciones recientes, coexistieron en España durante los primeros años de la dictadura franquista. Este artículo pone en evidencia que, tal y como sucede en la actualidad, los cambios en el día a día de la escuela tienen un ritmo propio, el cual no siempre va ligado a las transformaciones que acontecen en el ámbito político. Palabras clave: Memorias de prácticas. Mobiliario escolar. Islas Baleares. O mobiliário escolar na Espanha durante os primeiros anos do franquismo: testemunhos para seu estudo RESUMO Nossa investigação se centra nas descrições relacionadas com o mobiliário escolar, mais especificamente a carteira escolar – instrumento utilizado para acomodar o aluno – descritas em narrativas de memórias de práticas redigidas entre 1939 e 1948, por estudantes das Escolas Normais das Ilhas Baleares (Espanha). Quanto a delimitação do estudo, pautado no método historiográfico aplicado ao campo da História da Educação, optamos por analisar 97 memórias pedagógicas que descrevem práticas de ensino realizadas em escolas públicas localizadas nas zonas rural e urbana das Ilhas Baleares. A documentação permitiu aproximar-mo-nos de algumas das principais características e tipologias de carteiras escolares que fizeram parte da cenografia das salas de aula. Graças a estas fontes foi possível detectar algumas das características do mobiliário daquele período, bem como, a sobreposição de distintas concepções sobre como deve ser a carteira escolar, principal artefato destinado a evitar a fadiga do aluno durante a jornada escolar. Este fato pode estar ligado a sobreposição de distintas culturas escolares que, como demonstram algumas pesquisas recentes, coexistiram na Espanha durante os primeiros anos da ditadura franquista. Este artigo coloca em evidencia que, tal como acontece na atualidade, as mudanças do dia a dia da escola têm um ritmo próprio, o qual nem sempre está ligado às transformações que acontecem no âmbito político. Palavras-chave: Memórias de práticas. Mobiliário escolar. Ilhas Baleares. School furniture in Spain during the early years of the Francoism: Sources for his study ABSTRACT Our research focuses on the descriptions related to school furniture, more specifically with the school desk –an instrument used to accommodate the student– which are described in the narrative of the teacher’s training practice reports written between 1939 and 1948 by the students of the Teacher’s Training Centres of the Balearic Islands (Spain). In order to limit our study, which was carried out using the historical method applied to the field of the History of Education, we have chosen to analyze the 97 practice reports that describe teaching practices carried out in state schools in the Balearic Islands, located in rural and urban areas. The documentation has allowed us to approach some of the main characteristics and typologies of school desks that formed part of the classroom setting. Thanks to these sources we have been able to detect some of the characteristics of the furniture of the time, as well as the superimposition of different conceptions of what the school desk should look like, the main device responsible for preventing student fatigue during the school day. This fact can be linked to the overlapping of different school cultures which, as some recent research has shown, coexisted in Spain during the first years of the Franco’s dictatorship. This article shows that, as it happens today, the changes in the daily life of schools have their own rhythm, which is not always linked to the transformations that took place in the political sphere. Keywords: Teacher’s training practice reports. School furniture. The Balearic Islands.

The study of the increasing incidence of melanoma over the past few decades is essential regarding prevention and optimization of health resources. We collected cases of melanoma from Hospital son Llàtzer from the Migjorn health sector of Mallorca, Spain from 2003 through 2021, and calculated the incidence of melanoma adjusted to the standard European population. In addition, other demographic and clinicopathological data were descriptively analyzed too. A total of 690 new cases of melanoma were detected with a progressive increase in the age-standardized incidence from 7.47 cases per 100,000 inhabitants/year in 2003 up to 23.84 in 2021 mainly due to early stages of the disease. The incidence of melanoma has increased significantly in Mallorca probably due to the increasing population coming from northern Europe (low phototypes), sun exposure habits (tourism, fishing, agriculture), and improved early diagnosis., (Copyright © 2024 AEDV.

El poblado de Son Catlar (Ciutadella, Menorca), con sus cinco talayots y su muralla extraordinariamente conservada a lo largo de casi 1 km de perímetro, es uno de los principales núcleos de la Menorca protohistórica y romana. Presentamos en este texto un amplio volumen de datos inéditos, resultado de recientes trabajos de prospección intensiva y estudio arquitectónico, que ilustran sobre la organización espacial de las fases talayótica, postalayótica -incluyendo una refortificación asociada a la segunda guerra púnica‒ y romana. La entidad del poblado y su ocupación aparentemente ininterrumpida a lo largo de este amplio periodo, lo convierten en un ejemplo excepcional a la hora de estudiar la particular evolución de las comunidades baleáricas a lo largo de la Edad del Hierro y en época romana.

La existencia de determinados elementos destinados a la producción de sonidos en contextos funerarios de la Edad de Hierro es conocida por los arqueólogos desde hace tiempo en Mallorca y Menorca, si bien nunca se ha hecho mayor hincapié en lo que ello significa en términos de prácticas sociales. La presencia de estos artefactos, como las campanillas o los tintinnabula nos obliga a contemplar la realidad de unas prácticas funerarias en las cuales la música o la emisión de determinados sonidos serían elementos importantes de la performance ritual. En este artículo se analizan los distintos tipos de objetos hallados en necrópolis mallorquinas que pueden estar vinculados a esta fenomenología sonora, y se reflexiona sobre lo que estas evidencias nos dicen acerca de la sociedad postalayótica.

Se presenta el estudio de los objetos metálicos hallados en Cova des Pas (900-800 cal AC), una necrópolis situada en el barranco de Trebaluger (Ferreries, Menorca), excavada entre los años 2005 y 2006 por un equipo formado por miembros de la Universitat de les Illes Balears y la Universitat de Barcelona. El conjunto está compuesto por objetos de bronce y pequeñas anillas de estaño, un elemento alóctono en las Islas Baleares. Se describen las piezas metálicas en sus respectivos contextos arqueológicos, atendiendo a los aspectos tecnológicos que aportan información para caracterizar las producciones metalúrgicas de esta cronología en Menorca. A partir de los resultados de las analíticas de composición elemental y de isótopos de plomo, se argumenta la relación de la mayoría de los bronces con depósitos minerales de Menorca. No obstante, confrontando dichos datos con los publicados actualmente, se deduce que dos piezas de bronce muestran concordancia con minerales cupríferos de Cerdeña y tres con minerales de Linares (Jaén).

Enmarcado en un proyecto de investigación que estudia la presencia fenicio-púnica en Menorca se desarrollan intervenciones arqueológicas en el poblado de origen talayótico de Son Catlar (Ciutadella), el único de la isla que conserva el perímetro amurallado completo. En este trabajo presentamos el reciente hallazgo de un acceso en codo abierto en el frente occidental del recinto. El reconocimiento de anomalías en este sector del encintado –mediante fotografía aérea y posterior comprobación sobre el terreno–, motivó una excavación arqueológica en extensión. Se trata de un importante descubrimiento pues es la primera estructura de este tipo localizada en el contexto balear y una de las pocas intervenidas con rigor metodológico. La excavación ha permitido documentar que este acceso fue construido en el siglo III a. C., cortando el paño original, y que fue cegada poco después, tras la conquista de la isla por Q. Cecilio Metelo hacia el año 123 a. C.

A partir de los datos diarios de lluvia en dos estaciones de una cuenca de 50km2 en la isla de Mallorca se ha estudiado la distribución anual de estas jornadas, así como su reparto estacional en las décadas finales del siglo XX. Además, se ha analizado la tendencia del número de días lluviosos durante el periodo entre 1960 y 2000. Los resultados confirman la elevada variabilidad interanual de la precipitación en el clima mediterráneo, así como las diferencias entre sectores por factores como la cercanía al mar. A nivel de tendencias, se constata cómo aumentan los días lluviosos anuales en ambas estaciones durante los 40 años observados.

Decree-Law 3/2020 of 28 February on urgent housing measures in Balearic Islands introduced new measures on Balearic Islands' housing market in terms of social renting obligation, taking of dwellings' use or pre-emption rights in favour of Balearic public authorities. Recent Decree-Law 4/2021 of 3 May on boosting and speeding up the processing of grants and other measures on housing reinforces such measures and clarifies some dark points. Some of such measures could be contrary to the Spanish Constitution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este trabajo plantea el objetivo general de crear una herramienta para evaluar la calidad informativa de los telenoticias de cuatro televisiones autonómicas españolas, a partir de los siguientes indicadores: rasgos formales, construcción y jerarquización, agenda temática, criterios de noticiabilidad, tipología y tratamiento y distribución geográfica del contenido. Se aplica un análisis de contenido con matriz propia de variables sobre una muestra de 32 informativos y 1327 unidades en horario de máxima audiencia. Se comprueba la utilidad de la matriz para evaluar la calidad informativa. El análisis detecta la tendencia hacia un modelo de infoentretenimiento.

La toponimia describe el paisaje, actual e histórico, a través de la percepción de sus habitantes. Mediante los principios de transparencia y significatividad territorial, los nombres de lugar reflejan las características geográficas, entre las que destaca el color como un rasgo muy visible y llamativo del terreno. El análisis de la cromotoponimia permite obtener una visión cromática del paisaje balear con resultados significativos a partir de la aplicación de la teoría de Berlin y Kay sobre el orden de las etapas evolutivas de las culturas en relación a los términos básicos del color.

Since the end of the 20th century, urban or semi-urban beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag status to commend environmental quality standards in systems where the environment had been reduced due to the application of planning and/or management measures that did not include, in many cases, geomorphological criteria. The study analyses, the space-time evolution of 20 beaches of the Balearic Islands distinguished with the Blue Flag between 1987 and 2018 using geo-environmental variables, which proved that the award, by itself, has not contributed to the geomorphological improvement of these beach/dune systems. The use of the variables means that the trends of each beach can be analysed to determine management measures aimed at the recovery of the exploited system.

In recent decades, different coastal management techniques have been used along the Spanish coast in order to restore, maintain and protect beach-dune systems. These techniques are based on the artificial emulation of natural processes that favour the recovery of the system, while others have been based on the setting up of services that avoid the frequenting and trampling of the dune systems. The lack of geomorphological criteria in some management activities carried out in the Balearic Islands, has caused and aggravated erosion on the systems that were supposed to be recovered, or they have artificially established those dynamic systems. This paper illustrates some techniques applied without geomorphological criteria on dune systems.

The location of the Balearic Islands in the centre of the western Mediterranean and their usefulness as a naval and air base, was an important factor for the observation and monitoring of the islands by the Axis and Allied forces. From October 1941 to March 1944, the Balearic Islands were closely monitored through aerial photographs taken by the British Royal Air Force in reconnaissance flights departing from Gibraltar. These photographs were used to report to the war cabinet on the situation in the ports and airfields. In addition, high-resolution photographic images were used in special interpretation reports for each island. These technical photo-interpretation studies were part of an exhaustive territorial analysis in preparation for a military occupation. The discovered historical aerial photos are of great interest because, by means of georeferencing, it is possible to analyse the historical evolution of the geomorphology (coastline and beach-dune systems), biogeography (vegetation and wetlands), land use, infrastructures (including ports and airports), urban development, and even the first tourist facilities at the beginning of the 1940s.
