Resumen: El hallazgo de nuevos materiales y sepulturas en el área de la necrópolis de Setefilla muestra que la estructura compleja y jerárquica de los túmulos A y B excavados en los años 70 constituyó un rasgo característico de este importante conjunto funerario. La identificación de útiles y armas de la Edad del Bronce sugiere, además, un uso continuo de la zona de los túmulos desde mediados /finales del 2º milenio a.C. Palabras claves: prácticas funerarias, incineraciones, metalurgia tartésica.
Abstract:The finding of new grave goods and burials in the cemetery area of Setefilla shows that the complex and hierarchical structure of tumuli A and B excavated in the seventies was a characteristic feature of this important funerary group.

This chapter re-examines the location of the legendary city of Mainake. The main source of information about Mainake is the fourth-century poem Ora Maritima and the older anonymous text concerning a periplous. These sources contradict the findings of archaeological studies. This chapter suggests that if it is to be accepted that Mainake was ancient Malaka, and geo-archaeological evidence taken into consideration, then there would be two stages in the socio-political and urban formation of one and the same city. The earliest or colonial stage would be situated on the islet of Villar, while the other on the mainland, in the cover of Malaga.
