Cien años de arqueología funeraria en el estrecho de Gibraltar: Nuevas investigaciones en la necrópolis de Baelo Claudia (Tarifa, Cádiz)
2014
En este trabajo abordamos el estudio de la necrópolis oriental de Baelo Claudia (Tarifa, Cádiz) a partir de los trabajos arqueológicos y de interpretación de las antiguas intervenciones que llevamos a cabo desde la Universidad de Alicante. Asimismo, junto con los resultados de la última excavación, se plantean nuevas lecturas sobre el paisaje funerario, la religiosidad y la etnicidad, así como sobre la tipología monumental y los ajuares. The new archaeological research conducted by University of Alicante in the Eastern necropolis of Baelo Claudia (Tarifa, Cádiz) are presented in this paper. Drawing on renewed reinterpretations of ancient excavations which have been enriched with the results…
Ocher and cinnabar in the argaric funerary record
2012
The known cases of Bronze Age Argaric stained skeletons found in the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula, have been analysed. The various hypotheses proposed relating to the origin of these colorations have been evaluated in light of new data provided by SEM, XRD and RAMAN spectroscopic analysis carried out on five Argaric graves of Murcia and Alicante. The results have indicated the presence of ochre and cinnabar on some of the skeletons. Without discarding the possibility that both substances were used in dyeing fabrics, it is proposed that their main use was for face and body make-up, being higher the number of recorded cases on female skeletons compared to male.

Investigation of sterols as potential biomarkers for the detection of pig (S. s. domesticus) decomposition fluid in soils
2012
This study was carried out to evaluate the potential of using cholesterol and coprostanol, as indicators for the detection of decomposition fluid of buried pigs (S. s. domesticus) in soils. In May 2007, four pig carcasses (~35. kg) were buried in shallow graves (~40. cm depth) at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology in Canada. Two pigs were exhumed after three months (Pig 1, Pig 2) and six months (Pig 3, Pig 4) post burial. Soil samples were collected beneath the pig carcasses (~40. cm depth) and from grave walls (~15-20. cm depth) as well as from a parallel control site. Coprostanol and cholesterol were extracted from soils, purified with solid phase extraction (SPE) and analy…
Wokół pochówku domniemanego weterana bitwy pod Byczyną w 1588 r. – studium archeologiczno-historyczne
2020
Byczyna is today a small city, located in the northern part of the Opolskie Voivodeship. This stronghold is famous for well-preserved city walls, as well as for its history, especially that associated with the memorable battle of 1588. Of course, here is the clash between the troops led by Jan Zamoyski (1542-1605) and Archduke Maximilian III of Habsburg (1558-1618), which ended in the defeat of the latter. This event had a great impact on the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as it pushed the Habsburgs away from royal power, as well as consolidated the rule of the Vasa dynasty. The Battle of Byczyna was an armed clash in which a representative of different nations met – Poles, …

2002
En el presente artículo se revisa la información existente sobre dos yacimientos campaniformes del Alto Vinalopó –Peñón de la Zorra y Puntal de los Carniceros–. Su importancia dentro de la investigación en tierras levantinas los ha convertido en una referencia casi obligatoria desde su publicación por parte de J. M. Soler García. In this article is cheked information about two bell beaker sites from Vinalopo Valley –Peñón de la Zorra and Puntal de los Carniceros–. The importance of this archaeological sites of investigation concerning Levante areas have got that these places would be an obligatory reference since the publication by J.M. Soler Garcia.
Vix, Ca’ Morta : deux chars du type « à caisse exhaussée »
2022
Vix and CA’ MORTA: two wagons of “raised box” type - The wagon from the burial ground at Ca’ Morta (Como), the subject of a recent reexamination by the author, constitutes a significant social maker. It is highly likely to be a wagon of “raised box” type of the Hallstatt period, similar to the vehicle discovered in the princely burial of Vix. Its presence in a Golasecca context is somewhat incongruous and highlights the importance of exchange between elites on both sides of the Alps.
Ricerche nella catacomba di Villagrazia di Carini
2018
The Quaderno Digitale 9 is dedicated to the archaeological researches conducted in the Early Christian catacomb of Villagrazia di Carini until year 2015. The essay of G. Schirò presents the results of the excavations carried out from 2008 to 2011 in the Gallery IX and the structural analysis of 36 burials. Marco Correra, in the second essay, presents the analysis of the types of closure of the tombs so far excavated, in comparison with other funerary contexts in Sicily, Sardinia and North Africa. Finally, Francesco Scirè and Marta Marescalchi illustrate the project drawn up for the enjoyment of the most representative sectors of the monument, whose visit was inaugurated in May 2015.
