Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Archaeology
  • Paleontology

Ruth Blasco mostly deals with Cave, Pleistocene, Archaeology, Ecology and Neanderthal. The various areas that Ruth Blasco examines in her Cave study include Assemblage, Valencia and Plan. Ruth Blasco has researched Pleistocene in several fields, including Paleozoology and Paleoanthropology.

She has included themes like Predation and Big cat in her Archaeology study. Her Predation research includes elements of Zooarchaeology and Panthera leo fossilis. Her work carried out in the field of Neanderthal brings together such families of science as Range and Faunal assemblage.

Her most cited work include:

  • One million years of cultural evolution in a stable environment at Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) (197 citations)
  • Birds of a Feather: Neanderthal Exploitation of Raptors and Corvids (146 citations)
  • A rock engraving made by Neanderthals in Gibraltar. (124 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cave, Archaeology, Pleistocene, Ecology and Neanderthal. When carried out as part of a general Cave research project, her work on Middle Paleolithic is frequently linked to work in Subsistence agriculture, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her Archaeology study often links to related topics such as Carnivore.

Her Pleistocene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Context, Taxon, Paleoanthropology, Human evolution and Paleoecology. Her Neanderthal research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural, Range, Foraging and Tooth wear. Her work on Mammalian carnivores as part of general Predation research is frequently linked to Consumption, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cave (56.64%)
  • Archaeology (50.44%)
  • Pleistocene (43.36%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Cave (56.64%)
  • Archaeology (50.44%)
  • Ecology (31.86%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ruth Blasco spends much of her time researching Cave, Archaeology, Ecology, Neanderthal and Taphonomy. The study incorporates disciplines such as Badger, Pleistocene, Archaeological record, Deciduous and Celtis in addition to Cave. The Lower Paleolithic research she does as part of her general Pleistocene study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ball, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Archaeology, Human settlement, Activity areas and Common spatial pattern is strongly linked to Spatial organization. Her Neanderthal research incorporates elements of Knapping, Range, Middle Paleolithic and Peninsula. Her Taphonomy study which covers Ursus that intersects with Faunal assemblage, Panthera, Leopard and Cave bear.

Between 2019 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Shaped stone balls were used for bone marrow extraction at Lower Paleolithic Qesem Cave, Israel. (10 citations)
  • Neanderthal mobile toolkit in short-term occupations at Teixoneres Cave (Moia, Spain) (8 citations)
  • Towards an understanding of hominin marrow extraction strategies: a proposal for a percussion mark terminology (7 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Archaeology

Ruth Blasco focuses on Cave, Archaeology, Pleistocene, Neanderthal and Sensu stricto. Ruth Blasco performs multidisciplinary study in Cave and Paleobotany in her work. Ruth Blasco conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Archaeology and Subsistence agriculture through her research.

Her studies deal with areas such as Archaeological record and Paleoanthropology as well as Pleistocene. Her research integrates issues of Hearth, Carnivore, Foraging and Peninsula in her study of Neanderthal. Her study of Sensu stricto brings together topics like Scientific literature, Interpretation, Percussion and Terminology.
