“…This rock art has been documented in a shelter near the Strait of Gibraltar, in the municipality of Jimena de la Frontera (Cádiz, Spain). After its discovery in the 1970s, various studies have dated the vessels represented to the Early Iron Age, coinciding with the Phoenician colonization of this area (Corzo and Giles, 1978; Barroso, 1980; Ruiz Gálvez, 2005; 2013; Rey da Silva, 2009; 2014), or even to the Late Bronze Age (Almagro‐Gorbea, 1988; Mas Cornellá, 1993; Cunliffe, 2017: 207). The dating has been justified by referring to the complexity of the vessels represented, five of which have sails, as the appearance of sailing ships in the far west may be due to Phoenician colonization (Mielke and Schuhmacher, 2011).…”

“…The first is a schematic engraving of the front half of a boat: with an elongated hull and a deep draught, it has a curved stem that is not decorated with any type of acroterion . The representation of the rigging is confusing; although it would most likely have been propelled by a square sail (Rey da Silva, 2009: 85), the only two figurative strokes show a slightly leaning mast towards the front, supporting a spar leaning towards the bow until it rests on the deck, with all of the sail apparently folded away. It also seems to show part of an oar, the end of which was lost when the pot shattered.…”

“…A second fragment comes from the Quinta de Almaraz and seems to represent a Phoenician vessel (Rey da Silva, 2009: 86); however, the fragment is so small and schematic that there are some doubts about its identification and interpretation.…”

This study presents two new representations of ships, recently found in Casas del Turuñuelo, Spain, and dated to the end of the 5th century BC. They depict river barges, which supports the importance of river navigation in structuring the central Guadiana region in the Tartessian era. The systematization of all known ship iconography found in the area from the Early Iron Age makes it possible to highlight their homogeneity, and their Mediterranean hallmark. This serves to emphasize the interconnectivity that existed in Iberia's south-west, fostering a process of cultural hybridization of which the vessels were both result and vehicle.

“…The existence of local indigenous shipbuilding traditions, prior to the Phoenician colonization of the Iberian Peninsula, is attested to by iconography (Guerrero Ayuso, ; ; Rey Da Silva, ). On the other hand, the hypothesis that Mazarrón 1 is evidence of an indigenous sewn‐plank‐boat tradition in the Iberian Peninsula, is not proven due to limited evidence.…”

Two iron-age shipwrecks, associated with Phoenician ceramics, were discovered at the Playa de la Isla in Mazarrón, Spain. This preliminary report describes hitherto unknown boatbuilding features of the Mazarrón 1 hull remains. The vessel presents hybrid boatbuilding techniques using both pegged mortise-and-tenon plank-edge fasteners and sewn seams employing longitudinal continuous stitching, and a unique keel scarf. It is an important source of information for the development of shipbuilding in the western Mediterranean during the Iron Age.

Embarcaciones prehistóricas y representaciones rupestres. Nuevos datos del abrigo de Laja Alta (Jimena de la Frontera, Cádiz)

Resumen. Las representaciones esquemáticas del abrigo de Laja Alta (Jimena de la Frontera, España) son el testimonio más claro de la existencia en la antigüedad de embarcaciones a vela en el Mediterráneo occidental. Mayoritariamente se han venido adscribiendo al I o finales del II milenio a.C. Este artículo ofrece nuevos calcos y datos para una mejor comprensión del conjunto de motivos del abrigo. Entre los resultados obtenidos planteamos cuestionar la anterior cronología. Las dataciones absolutas confirman su frecuentación entre el IV-III milenio a.C., durante el Neolítico Reciente y Calcolítico del sur de Iberia. Una época de importantes transformaciones en la región. Además, el resto de resultados obtenidos son leídos en términos de datación relativa (tipos de motivos, su contexto cultural, análisis de pigmentos mediante reflectancia óptica y superposición de figuras), no apartándose de las dataciones obtenidas. La distribución espacial de las figuras indica que los barcos ocupan el centro de la cavidad, son el tema principal de Laja Alta, el resto está determinado por la escena naval. Esta conclusión tiene implicaciones históricas para la transferencia de tecnologías, bienes e ideas que dieron forma a las sociedades del Neolítico Reciente y la Edad del Cobre de Europa occidental y norte de África.Abstract. The Laja Alta rock shelter paintings (Jimena de la Frontera, Spain) are the clearest existing testimony of sailing vessels from ancient times in the western Mediterranean. The majority opinion of the research has dated the naval scene in the first or the end of the second mill. BC. This article offers new reproductions and data for a better understanding of the figures represented. Based on the results obtained, we propose a different hypothesis. The absolute dates confirm that the rock shelter was used in the IV-III mill. cal. BC., the Late Neolithic and Copper Age. It was a time of important community transformations. Besides, others datas (types of figures, cultural context, pigment analysis by optical reflectance and superposition of figures) do not deviate from the results dates. The topographical distribution indicates that the boats occupy a central position in the rock shelter. Thus, the boats are the main theme of the paintings of Laja Alta and the rest of the motifs are determined by the naval scene. This conclusion has important historical implications for the transfer of technologies, goods and ideas that shaped the societies of the Late Neolithic and Copper Age of the Western Europe and North Africa.
