Novedades del último mes en eBooks de Arqueología

En este libro se presentan los resultados preliminares de la excavación arqueológica realizada en 2025 en la cueva La Carnicera. Hemos realizado dos sondeos y recuperado 281 fragmentos de cerámica globular y varias piezas liticas que corresponden al mismo horizonte cultural, Calcolitico. Se hallaron algunos elementos liticos, de materia prima local, a bastante distancia estratigrafica de los niveles calcoliticos, a mayor profundidad, que podrian evidenciar ocupaciones anteriores; entre ellos destaca una punta pseudo-levallois, representativa del musteriense, que puede sugerir una ocupacion de la cueva por Homo Neanderthalensis. Estas piezas encajan perfectamente en un contexto de Paleolitico Medio, pero al tratarse de un conjunto tan exiguo solo puede plantearse como hipotesis; confirmarla exige una ampliacion de la exploracion, para la que solicite autorizacion tras los hallazgos de la primera prospeccion. En el anexo fotografico se muestra el material extraido.

What is the magic of pastoral Greece? What is it that gives to you a sensation of being gently released from the cares of life and the boredom of modern civilization, with its often unmeaning complications, its unnecessary luxuries, its noisy self-satisfactions? This is not the tremendous, the spectacular release of the desert, an almost savage tearing away of bonds.Nothing in the Greece I saw is savage; scarcely anything is spectacular. But, oh, the bright simplicity of the life and the country along the way to Marathon! It was like an early world. One looked, and longed to live in those happy woods like the Turkish Gipsies. Could life offer anything better?The road winds down among the pines till, at right angles to it, appears another road, or rough track just wide enough for a carriage. This leads to a large mound which bars the way. Upon this mound a habitation was perched. It was raised high above the ground upon a sort of tripod of poles. It had yellow walls of wheat, and a roof and floor of brushwood and maize. A ladder gave access to it, and from it there was a wide outlook over the whole crescent-shaped plain of Marathon.
