Genomics of the Iberian Peninsula: Ancient DNA studies have begun to help us understand the genetic history and movements of people across the globe. Focusing on the Iberian Peninsula, Olalde et al. report genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals from Iberia (see the Perspective by Vander Linden). The findings provide a comprehensive genetic time transect of the region. Linguistics analysis and genetic analysis of archaeological human remains dating from about 7000 years ago to the present elucidate the genetic impact of prehistoric and historic migrations from Europe and North Africa.

This article aims to show the transformation of the coast in the extreme northeast of the Iberian Peninsula. It is focused on the Ciutadella de Roses. Data were integrated from the digital elevation model (LIDAR), a geomorphological analysis, and lithostratigraphic and chronological correlations based on eight geological boreholes and twelve radiocarbon datings, along with historical data and archaeological remains found in the surroundings of the Ciutadella. This enabled a hypothesis to be established on the palaeolandscape around the site. The evolution of the shoreline from Ancient Greek times to the modern period is detailed, and evidence of its form at different chronological moments is presented. To sum up, the article defines the evolution of the palaeolandscape in the territory and links it to the historical evolution of the site. In addition, the evolution of the relationship between river courses, the sea and the sea level is explained.

Purpose: The Roses Citadel is a bastioned fortification that has archaeological remains from the Greek, Roman and medieval periods in its interior. Currently, the area inside the Citadel is used for a wide range of activities; some directly related with the heritage item, others associated with its use as a public space for the town. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the economic interest of charging an entrance fee vs the alternative of free access and offers a framework to address this issue.Design/methodology/approach: The proposal is to consider the marginal cost of increasing the number of users and to carry out a travel cost analysis. It is vital to take into account the results of specifically economic analyses, but the evaluations of social policies should also be considered, and should have a considerable weight in decision making.Findings: It is proposed that free entry would bring about an increase in the number of visitors and users of Roses Citadel. In turn, this increase would lead to a greater social use of this heritage asset, and a chance for the least privileged sectors of society to use the site more. Financial resources for the maintenance of the asset would not be raised through entry fees, but through contributions relating to the increase in the social consideration of the site.Originality/value: In the context of a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of paying an entry fee for heritage assets, the example of Roses Citadel provides several factors for consideration. It shows that payment of an entry fee affects use of the site by society, and particularly by the local community, whereas free access leads to a wide range of opportunities for use.

L’oppidum de Sant Julià de Ramis se trouve à l’extrême nord de la Péninsule Ibérique. Cet oppidum était situé au sommet d’une colline, à 203 m au-dessus de la mer. Le fleuve Ter, en provenance des Pyrénées et délimitant la montagne, se dirige vers la mer où il débouche près du site grec d’Emporion. Les fouilles effectuées au cours des dernières années ont permis remonter la chronologie initiale jusqu’à arriver à la première moitié du VI^e siècle av. J.-C. Au début du IV^e siècle av. J.-C, le noyau réduit de la phase antérieure connut une croissance notable jusqu’à atteindre une surface d’environ 3/4 hectares. Les données apportées par les fouilles de ces dernières années nous permettent de constater qu’après la conquête romaine il y a non seulement la continuité de l’occupation du lieu mais aussi que le site occupe une situation privilégiée par rapport aux autres oppida. A partir de la troisième décennie du I^er siècle av. J.-C., on constate que Sant Julià n’a connu qu’une continuité d’habitat ponctuelle.

Un des traits caractéristiques de la culture ibère de l’extrême nord-est de la Péninsule Ibérique est l’usage de silos comme système de stockage de produits agricoles. Il s’agit là d’une technique traditionnellement très utilisée pour conserver des produits alimentaires à moyen et long terme. C’est pour cette raison que les aliments qu’on y conservait ont été considérés comme réserves. Cet article aborde le rôle de l’aristocratie sur le contrôle de ces réserves. L’évolution de ce système de stockage ainsi que son développement au cours des II^e et I^er siècles avant J.-C., juste avant leur disparition presque définitive lors du passage à la nouvelle ère, sont aussi étudiés.
