The Antequera megalithic site in the work of Georg and Vera Leisner: a review

In the bosom of the Earth: a new megalithic monument at the Antequera World Heritage Site

“…Radiocarbon dates obtained from crania 3003-1 and 3003-2 yield ages of 2291–2047 and 1931–1749 cal BC (at 95.4% confidence) respectively, which places them in the Early Bronze Age. This underlines the remarkable persistence of the monument's use through time, and fits well with the abundant evidence for the extensive reuse of Late Neolithic and Copper Age monuments by Bronze Age communities across the Antequera region (García Sanjuán & Mora Molina 2022).…”

Chronological Study of Collective Burials in the Northern Iberian Plateau: Analysis of Radiocarbon Dates on Human Bones From the Megalithic Complex of La Lora (Burgos, Spain)

“…Examples of funerary series that begin within this timeframe are to be found in the southeast and southwest of the peninsula, where excellent dating studies have been carried out in necropolises such as El Barranquete, Panoría, Las Churuletas, Llano del Jaut ón or La Atalaya (Granada and Almería) (e.g. ; Aranda Jiménez and Lozano Medina 2014;Lozano Medina and Aranda Jiménez 2018;Aranda Jiménez et al 2017, 2018a, 2018b; in Pozuelo (Huelva) (Linares-Catela 2022); or in central and southern Portugal (Rocha and Morgado 2020), in the Areita dolmen (Viseu) (García Sanjuán et al 2022), the Carrascal dolmen (Sintra) (Silva et al 2019) or the El Sobreva dolmen (El Guiry et al 2016), to name a few examples.…”

“…Dolmens have traditionally been taken as monumental tombs with a long period of use during the most advanced phase of the Neolithic, despite their burial function continuing into later times, with frequent evidence of burials ascribed to the Chalcolithic and the Bronze Age. However, it is not until recent years when research on the megalithic chronology seems to have definitively taken off in light of the improvement in direct radiocarbon dating by AMS on short-lived samples, mainly human bone (to cite some examples, the publications of Bayliss et al 2007aBayliss et al , 2007cWhittle et al 2007aWhittle et al , 2007bWysocki et al 2007;Fernández-Eraso and Múgica-Alustiza 2013;García Sanjuán et al 2018;Lozano Medina and Aranda Jiménez 2018;Aranda Jiménez et al 2017, 2018a, 2018b, 2022Blank et al 2020;Linares-Catela 2022;Linares-Catela andVera-Rodríguez 2021, 2023;Alday-Ruiz et al 2023, etc.). At first, the appearance of very old dates in different regions hinted at the emergence of various autochthonous regions where dolmens were to be found in different parts of Europe (Renfrew 1976).…”

Digitizing Los Millares (Santa Fe de Mondujar, Almería, Spain) through 3-D and geospatial technologies: preserving and disseminating the archaeological heritage

“…Following the spirit of some recent Iberian scholarship (García Sanjuan et al 2019;Mora Molina & García Sanjuan, 2020;Garĉes et al 2022), our paper presents an attempt to change some of Los Millares' legacy issues. This is done by thinking about the site as archaeological heritage, a notion that brings together the imperatives of preservation and dissemination.…”
