The Chalcolithic mega-site and ditched enclosure of Valencina de la Concepción (Seville, Spain) has been extensively discussed regarding its functionality, funerary practices, and highly specialised crafts. However, little attention has been given to understanding its socio-economic organization, particularly within the settlement area. This study,...
En este artículo presentamos un conjunto de evidencias de construcción con tierra, identificadas como adobes, procedentes del yacimiento prehistórico de Valencina de la Concepción (sectores del Cerro de la Cabeza-Valencina Nord y Nueva Biblioteca). Estos adobes fueron utilizados en el alzado de la muralla (Nueva Biblioteca) y en las paredes de caba...
The large Chalcolithic settlement of Valencina de la Concepción is located on the north-eastern edge of the Aljarafe plateau, 6 kilometers west of the modern city of Seville in southern Spain. In prehistoric times, it was located on an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean shaped by the estuary of the Guadalquivir river. Geomagnetic surveys over an area of 3...
This paper discusses the results of an archaeometric analysis carried out on undecorated Late Chalcolithic ceramics from Valencina de la Concepción, which is one of the largest and most important Chalcolithic settlements in the southern Iberian Peninsula. The purpose of the study is to contribute to the debate on the socioeconomic organization and...
Geoarchaelogical research on the famous bronze age site 'Bullenheimer Berg' in Northern Bavaria/Germany. Excavation results on settlement structures, defensive walls, soil pits etc. are combined with area-wide soil mapping and analyzes.
The ›mega-site‹ of Valencina de la Concepción extends along the northeast border
of the Aljarafe Plateau, 6 km to the west of modern-day Seville in the south of Spain.
During prehistoric times it was located next to an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, which
covered most of the estuary of the Guadalquivir River. By means of geomagnetic
survey of a surfa...
La segunda campaña de excavación durante 2018 en el sector norte del yacimiento de Valencina de la Concepción ha documentado cuatro cabañas calcolíticas de planta oval, semi-excavadas en el subsuelo, que debían tener paredes de adobes, de las cuales, la de mayores dimensiones, UC 447/448, tiene 6 m de longitud por 3 m de ancho. Por otra parte, se s...
In 2017, excavations of the Valencina Nord Project began in the northern sector of this
large mega-site of ca. 200 ha during the Middle Chalcolithic. In the first campaign,
geophysical survey at the NW sector, in direction of the Los Pozos ravine was prioritized,
and it is possible to propose that three of the ditch systems identified in 2014 co...
En 2017 comenzaron las excavaciones del Proyecto Valencina Nord en el sector septentrional de este gran poblado de ca. 200 ha durante el Calcolítico Medio. En la primera campaña se priorizó la prospección geofísica en el sector noroeste, en dirección hacia el barranco de Los Pozos, pudiéndose proponer que tres de los sistemas de fosos identificados...
Sinkholes in the karstified Middle Keuper gypsum of Middle Franconia, Germany reveal numerous archeological findings and contain unique pedosedimentary records of landscape development and human-environment interaction during the Holocene. Mudstone-derived high clay contents result in a unique set of sedimentary and pedogenic properties of these ar...
The ›mega-site‹ of Valencina de la Concepción extends throughout the northeast limit of the Aljarafe Plateau, 6 km to the West of modern day Seville in the South of Spain. During prehistoric times it was located next to an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, which covered most of the estuary of the Guadalquivir River. After a series of archaeological surv...
The existence or non-existence of domestic structures at the diched chalcolithic mega-site of Valencina de la Concepción (Seville, Spain) has been a long debated issue among researchers dedicated to the study of the societies and cultures that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula throughout the 3rd millennium B.C. In this paper we present some of result...
Along the Upper Triassic (Keuper)-cuesta escarpment of the Steigerwald several hill-top settlements can be found. One of those settlements is situated on the plateau of the Bullenheimer Berg, an escarpment outlier located 13 kilometers south-east of the so-called Main-Triangle. For several years archeological excavations have been executed here, wh...
Im vorliegenden Artikel werden die Ergebnisse einer Prospektionskampagne 2014 im vermuteten Siedlungsbereich der Fundstätte von Valencina de la Concepción vorgestellt, die sich 6 km westlich der heutigen Stadt Sevilla in Südspanien befindet. Insbesondere auf zwei benachbarten Parzellen im nördlichen Bereich von Valencina wurden eine Magnetometerpro...

En el presente artículo presentamos los resultados de una primera campaña de prospección en el supuesto área poblacional del yacimiento de Valencina de la Concepción, que se encuentra 6 km al Oeste de la actual ciudad de Sevilla. En concreto efectuamos una prospección geo-magnética, una recogida de material en superficie y perforaciones manuales de...

Auf der Balkanhalbinsel hat der Fluss Strymon immer die Rolle eines wichtigen Verbindungsgliedes zwischen der Ägäis und Mitteleuropa gespielt. Über seinen Bereich und den Fluss Iskar war in der Urgeschichte die Donau erreichbar und über diese auch Mitteleuropa. Im 7.–6. Jahrtausend v. Chr. war das der wichtigste Weg über welchen, mit Zwischenstatio...
