RT Journal Article T1 Canales Travertínicos de Alicún (S de España): Implicaciones en el uso Neolítico del agua y en la interpretación de la evolución climática reciente T1 Travertine canals from Alicún (S Spain): Implications on Neolithic water management and on interpretation of therecent climatic evolution A1 Martín Martín, Manuel A1 Díaz Hernández, J. L. A1 Estévan Amat, A. A1 Julià, Ramón AB Four «self-built» travertine canals located in the vecinity of the Alicún hydrothermal springs CS Spain) were studied. Two canals are presently functional and their growth patterns have shown that their existences require human maintenance. The ancient canals have been dated by diferent methods (C-14, U-series, and AMS-radiocarbon) and their radiocarbon polen dating are 3660 and 2660 yr B.P. respectively. These data make possible to confirm the existence of an European Neolithic culture, in this area, with water control and management. Finally, the palynologie studies on the travertine canals, reveals the existence of mediterranean-like climatic conditions, at least since 3660 yr B.P. in southern Spain PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 2001 FD 2001 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/9410 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/9410 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 13 jul 2026
