The differences between sites with only one individual (type 1) and sites with a large number of elephants (type 2) are related to different formation processes and particular problems which limit the information potential of the sites The lithic industries of Gruta Nova de Columbeira (Bombarral, Portugal) in the context of the Late Mousterian of the Iberian Peninsula Abstract Gruta Nova de Columbeira, discovered in 1962, is one of the most important Middle Palaeolithic sites in Portugal. The lithic industry, here described for the first time, may be described in general terms as a Denticulate Mousterian of Levallois facies rich in sidescrapers and it bears no resemblance to the Upper Palaeolithic. Abstract The study of Landscape as social construction implies considering its economic and territorial dimensions, as much as its symbolic ones. A major topic in such studies is to reconstruct the ways as natural and social space was perceived by past societies. We ought approach the project of building an

Extractions: Iberians Iberians, ancient people of Spain. They are believed to have migrated from Africa in the Neolithic period and again at the end of the Bronze Age. They were first mentioned in the 6th cent. B.C. , after they had settled in E Spain and the Ebro valley. The Iberian Peninsula, i.e., Spain and Portugal, is named for them. The high point of Iberian civilization was reached about the 4th cent. B.C. , and thereafter their culture came under the influence of Carthaginian colonization. About the 4th cent. B.C. began the Celtic migration into Spain, which led to an increased dissolution of Iberian culture. After the Roman conquest of Spain the Iberians gradually accepted Roman culture. The theory that the Iberians and the Basques were identical has been discredited by modern research. See A. A. Palau

Harrington [LARGER IMAGE] Analysis of the skeletal remains of a four-year-old child buried in a Portuguese rock-shelter 25,000 to 24,500 years ago has yielded startling evidence that early modern humans and Neandertals may have interbred. While the boy's prominent chin, tooth size, and pelvic measurements marked him as a Cro-Magnon, or fully modern human, his stocky body and short legs indicate Neandertal heritage, says Erik Trinkaus, a paleoanthropologist at Washington University in St. Louis. Interbreeding could answer the vexed question of the fate of the Neandertals, the last of whom disappeared from the Iberian Peninsula 28,000 years ago. Trinkaus, who compared the boy's limb proportions with those of Neandertal skeletons, including some children, says that the body is the first definite evidence of a mixture between Neandertal and early humans. While full Neandertals are thought to have been extinct for 4,000 years before the boy was born, he appears to be a descendant of generations of Neandertal-Cro-Magnon hybrids. Neandertals belong to our species and contributed their genes to European ancestry, he says.

White of the University of California at Berkeley, who has studied the bones, and French archaeologist Alban Defleur of the University of the Mediterranean, Marseilles, who has excavated the site since 1991, cut marks on the bones could have been made only by sharp flints. The skulls had been smashed open and limb bones had been broken apart, presumably to extract nutritious brain tissue and remove marrow. Only the hand and foot bones, which contain no marrow, remained intact. Cut marks indicate that tendons had been severed (necessary for limb removal), the thigh muscles removed, and in at least one case a tongue taken out. No signs of gnawing were found on the bones, ruling out the possibility that the Neanderthals were eaten by wild animals. There were no signs of charring either, suggesting the flesh was either eaten raw or cooked off the bone. Scattered among the human remains were fragments of several animals butchered in the same manner, which were identified by Defleur's associate, Patria Valensi, as coming mostly from red deer. "If we conclude that the animal remains are the leftovers from a meal, we're obliged to expand that conclusion to include humans," says Defleur. "It is not clear whether the individuals were eaten for survival when other food was scarce or as part of a social ritual," he adds, "but the abundance of natural resources available at the site when these individuals were killed makes the survival scenario seem highly unlikely."

Extractions: Gonzalo Ruiz Zapatero INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The various papers brought together in this work aim to provide a complete and up-to-date picture of the Palaeoethnology of the Iberian Peninsula as a whole. But the very diversity of the writers and particularly the complex problems raised by very different topics and Iberian regions (fig 1), also require an overview by way of conclusion, which is the purpose of this summary. Rather than a synthesis, impossible and inapplicable in these fields of study, it should be seen as a way of providing an overall idea that at least highlights both the points of agreement or greater coincidence, and the most significant problems and divergences. Both aspects, we believe, provide an interesting insight into our present state of knowledge and a useful starting point and stimulus for future progress of these studies. From this point of view, this summary about the Palaeoethnology of the Iberian Peninsula should be regarded as an editors' overview rather than an attempt to offer a synthesis of the views expressed by the various authors in their contributions. Instead it aims to enumerate the better known aspects of the Palaeoethnology of the Iberian Peninsula and at the same time to pinpoint the most problematic areas where future research is needed as a point of departure for future research. We have included graphic information - regional periodization (fig. 2, 3), maps showing different cultural elements and peoples distribution (fig. 5-8), and tables summarising the most significant cultural elements (fig. 9-14) - to support the text and to provide a starting point for a more critical archaeological view.

Extractions: The 'ladies of Madrid' and other remnants of the past Madrid is blessed with dozens of sights to delight the first-time visitor or one like me who has visited and revisited the city at least half a dozen times over the past three decades. Even those with limited time should not miss the "must sees": the impressive Royal Palace; the intimate, balconied Plaza, Mayor; the vibrant Puerta del Sol; the newish (1992) Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, one of the world's finest private art collections; the elegant, bustling Plaza de la Cibeles with, its splendid fountain of the fertility goddess, and, of course, the incomparable Prado Museum, full of works by Goya, Velazquez and El Greco. On my most recent trip, however, in January '01, I went to visit three ladies whom I had not seen for many years. They reside in the Museo Arqueologico Nacional and are arguably three of the finest examples of Iberian sculpture of the fourth to sixth centuries B.C.

Extractions: Archaeology Decorative Arts Paintings Sculpture Textiles ... Modern Art The Hispanic Society's holdings offer an impressive overview of the early history of Spain. The collection contains outstanding pieces from one of the most distinctive groups dating from the second millennium B.C., the Bell-Beaker people. Excavated between 1895-1910, these vessels come from large tumuli (burial mounds) in the lower Guadalquivir Valley. The people who used these objects were nomadic herdsmen, and the ceramics, judging from their inclusion in burials, were objects of prestige. Evidence of the mingling of Phoenician and indigenous cultures appears in the Society's exemplary collection of engraved bones and ivories. Migrating celts had also settled in central Spain and been assimilated with the indigenous people, the Iberians, thereby forming a group known as the Celtiberians, represented in the Hispanic Society with a stunning collection of jewelry.
