This research has been supported by the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación (Ministerio
de Economía, Industria y Competitividad)–European Regional Development Fund of the
European Union (CGL2016-76431-P and CGL2017-82654-P, AEI/FEDER EU), by the Generalitat
de Catalunya (CERCA Programme) and by the Italian MIUR (PRIN 2009MSSS9L_002). The
study of the Batallones material was carried out thanks to the SYNTHESYS Project funded
by European Community Research Infrastructure Action under the FP7 ‘Structuring the
European Research Area’ Programme (ES-TAF-1975 to MD). Access to the collections of
Natural History Museum Wien was also possible thanks to a SYNTHESYS grant (AT-TAF-4591)
to AV. AB is a Newton International Fellow (NF160464), funded by the Royal Society.
Fieldwork at ACM was funded by CESPA Gestión de Residuos, S.A.U. The Cerro the los
Batallones project was funded by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad de España
(CGL2015-68333-P), the Research Groups CSIC 641538 and CAM-UCM 910607, and the Dirección
General de Patrimonio (Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid). The funders had no role in study
design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
