Abstract

A multidisciplinary analysis of Holocene sediments from Saltés Island (Tinto-Odiel estuary, SW Spain) has allowed to differentiate eigth sedimentary facies, according to their textural characteristics, internal structure, paleontology and archaeological content. Its interpretation and the chronological datings carried out reconstruct a transition from a sandy tidal plain to a final occupation by a Roman salting (cetaria) between the 1st century BC to 5th century A. This evolution includes the deposit of washover fans derived from high-energy events between the 1st century BC to 3th century AD. The integration of these new data with others from previous research has allowed partially complete the palaeoenviromental reconstruction of the marine domain of the Tinto-Odiel estuary.

Resumen

El análisis multidisciplinar de sedimentos holocenos procedentes de la isla Saltés, situada en el estuario de los ríos Tinto y Odiel (SO de España), ha permitido diferenciar ocho facies sedimentarias, de acuerdo a sus características texturales, estructura interna, contenido paleontológico y restos arqueológicos presentes. Su interpretación y las dataciones cronológicas efectuadas han permitido reconstruir una transición desde una llanura mareal arenosa a la ocupación final de la zona por una factoría romana de salazones (cetaria) entre los siglos I BC y V AD. Esta evolución incluye el depósito de washover fans derivados de la acción de eventos de alta energía entre los siglos I BC y III AD. La integración de estos nuevos datos con otros procedentes de investigaciones previas ha permitido completar parcialmente la reconstrucción paleoambiental del dominio marino del estuario de los ríos Tinto y Odiel.
