Leonardo García Sanjuan is a new JMA-Chair in the ROOTS Cluster of Excellence at the University of Kiel in Germany (during the spring 2023). The research of our colleague Leonardo Garcia will focus on various topics, such as early social complexity, funerary practices, megalithic monuments and prehistoric landscapes, with special attention to Late Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Iberia.

We publish a new article titled "The “Megalithisation” of Iberia: A Spatio-Temporal Model". In the last 20 years, the growing availability of radiometric data has led to profound changes in the archaeological study of cultural and social processes in European Late Prehistory. In this paper, we examine how the combined use of spatial analysis and Bayesian modelling can further contribute to an enhanced interpretation of the...

We participated in the meeting of the European Megalithic Study Group, in Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, with the conference "Towards a High-Resolution Approach to the Temporality of Major Megalithic Monuments. The Examples of Menga and Montelirio (Spain)". For decades, establishing the temporality of major megalithic monuments has been a significant archaeological problem that has hampered the interpretation of the roles they played among early...

We publish a new article titled "Potential and limitations of LiDAR altimetry in archaeological survey. Copper Age and Bronze Age settlements in southern Iberia".  The data pertaining the settlement dynamics of Sierra Morena in the CA and BA presented here, compiled on the basis of a LiDAR-based analysis, complements and expands the previous knowledge gathered after years of fieldwork (with the support of aerial photography).

We publish a new article titled "A multimethod approach to the genesis of Menga, a World Heritage megalith". The scientific study of Neolithic monuments holds fundamental keys to the analysis of early social complexity. This is often impeded by the challenges involved in understanding their temporality and, particularly, their initial construction dates. This problem is most severe in monuments that were not predominantly used for burial...

A major burial complex, including a new 'warrior' stela', is discovered in Cañaveral de León (Huelva), at the location where, four years ago, another stela was found. A preliminary assessment suggests that the burial complex could cover a long chronology, including the Copper Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. Subsequent studies will define the temporality of the site.   Se descubre en Cañaveral de León (Huelva)...
