Ciertos aspectos funerarios en la necropolis del III milenio de Valencina-Castilleja (Sevilla)

During the 3rd millennium BC the Valencina-Castilleja settlement site grew to spectacular dimensions. Due to its rapid growth the political leadership were unable to cope with the fast economic changes that generated internal social contradictions within the society and likely to be expressed at the ideological level. The aim of this work is to present a global vision of the settlement site’s necropolis and understand its historical circumstances.

Zooarqueología del III Milenio A.N.E. El barrio metalúrgico de Valencina de la Concepción (Sevilla)

2010

Presentamos el estudio zooarqueologico del conjunto faunistico registrado en el barrio metalurgico de Valencina de la Concepcion (Sevilla), centro politico de la red de jerarquizacion (relaciones centro/periferia) del Valle del Guadalquivir durante el III Milenio A.N.E. Fue analizado con el objetivo de conocer la dieta, la explotacion animal y las relaciones sociales, a traves de la identificacion y clasificacion taxonomica, el calculo de la abundancia relativa y la division osea por regiones anatomicas. Ademas, se reconocieron los diversos fenomenos que interaccionaron y afectaron al conjunto oseo (procesos tafonomicos). El compendio de los analisis realizados reflejo un modelo de conducta caracterizado por una explotacion de especies domesticas sacrificadas en edad adulta, una presencia elevada de huesos con utilidad alimenticia gracias a la representaci on de partes esqueleticas (%MAU, valores observados/esperados y test de chi-cuadrado o X2), un patron de fragmentacion debido a ...

In this paper we present the cemeteries of the El Seminario (Huelva) that are integrated in the settlement of the III millennium B.C. This site occupied the center of the estuary that formed the rivers Tinto and Odiel. In this archaeological site have been documented around 250 negative structures of the IV-III millennia BC with various typologies or functions: domestic (housing, consumption and production), ritual, votive and funerary. The graves are underground structures (pit tombs, rock-cut tombs or hypogeums) or semi-subterranean (corbelled vault tombs or tholoi with passages and circular chambers constructed with fine slabs) with similar features to the cemeteries associated to settlements and enclosures of the southwest Iberian Peninsula. The tombs are in two burial grounds: northwest necropolis (2 pit tombs of the Last Neolithic and 1 hypogeum of the Copper Age) and southeast necropolis (2 pit tombs of the Last Neolithic and 4 tombs of the Copper Age distributed on a shaft 50 m NW-SE: 3 hypogeums and 1 tholos). The excavation with microspatial methodology and the study of funerary contexts of three tombs of the El Seminario (hipogeums 1336, 7016 and tholos 7055) allows us to achieve two objectives: 1) Analysis of the building characteristics and structural elements; 2) Analysis of the stratigraphy and funerary contexts, individual depositions with anthropological identification and grave goods, in order to know the funerary practices. The three tombs have complexes funerary contexts, as a result of repeated depositions and continuous constructive transformations along the III millennium. Thus, the archaeological contexts of the chambers have funerary floors with removed bones and grave goods by using own and cleaning. Even, in the tombs 7016 and 7055 we can’t determine the positioning of individuals (skeletons) and their correlation with the grave goods. This limits the interpretation of funerary contexts and practices developed. However, we can establish a set of generic considerations: -The graves are for collective use. The chambers have a shared space for burial depositions. Despite the long life of these structures has recovered a small number of individuals (11 individuals in the tomb 1336, 11 individuals in the tomb 7016 and 18 individuals in the tomb 7055). Therefore, the social access to these graves could be reserved for certain members of a specific social or family group. -In the tomb 1336, which preserved the primary burials, it has been determined that the funerary practices and behaviors could be characterized by a strong "cultural identity". Thus, in the funerary episodes in the middle of the III millennium, all individuals have placed supine lateral legs and bent arms, occupying the central space of the chamber, with his head against the walls. Their grave goods are mostly located near the heads, stuck to the walls of the chamber, being composed of two ceramic objects (pot, bowl or cup, and pot or vessel), and one or more lithic stone tools (flint or rhyolite knives and arrowheads). -In the late III millennium BC these collective tombs were reused, building graves for individual burials inside the chambers were built. In the tombs 7016 and 7055 have been documented small caves with individual burials who are associated "bell-beaker grave goods".

Variabilidad funeraria en las sociedades del III milenio en el sector Señorío de Guzmán de Valencina-Castilleja (Sevilla)

With this work we have tried to review an archaeological excavation carried out in 1996 in the site named Señorío de Guzmán in Castilleja de Guzmán in light of the most findings that have ocurred in the recent years. More tahn 20 funerary structures were detected during the work of land preparation, but only were excavated five of them, four prehistoric and one more of "tartesic" date. From prehistoric tombs there were two of masonry with false dome and two stale slabs, all of them with few grave goods but so much interesting, consisting of ivory, copper elements (1 axe) gold (1 decorated sheet), Beaker pottery, beads necklace (limestone, Dentalium and cowries, etc.)

Estudio de las herramientas de trabajo líticas de una cabaña prehistórica de Valencina de la Concepción (Sevilla)

2003

La industria litica aqui analizada procede de la excavacion de urgencia de la calle Alamillo, n°33 (Valencina de la Concepcion), efectuada entre los meses de diciembre de 1997 y febrero de 1998. Los productos liticos pertenecen a una cabana adscrita a lo que normativamente se ha denominado "Bronce Inicial" (inicios del II° milenio a. n. e.). Si aceptamos la division espacio-funcional del complejo arqueologico de Valencina de la Concepcion-Castilleja de Guzman, que comprende un espacio dedicado al poblado propiamente dicho, otro a la necropolis y un tercero que se situaria en una zona intermedia, compuesta por silos, zanjas, etc., la estructura intervenida se encontraria entre el area intermedia y el area de poblado; pues al norte se situa el inmenso campo de silos de la Estacada Larga (Cruz-Aunon y Arteaga 1995) y al sur, integradas en el area intermedia, La Alcazaba (Cruz-Aunon y Arteaga 1997) y RTVA-El Cuervo (Arteaga y Cruz-Aunon 1995). La mencionada estructura se halla...
