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...

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.
